We have heard many times – attack is the best defense! Therefore, to defend yourself, you need to be aggressive. The attack may come unexpected from all corners, so its best to get into a defensive mode. We can be attacked anywhere, at streets, office corridors, or even in the safety of our houses. It is best to carry some self defense weapons with you at all times for peace of mind. If the defense weapons are carried, you will be in an advantageous position, as the attacker may not launch the attack in full force. You could even stall for some time with such defensive weapons.
Maintaining cool and calm in an attack is the most important thing to do in such a situation. Be confident of your ability to come out of the situation. Confidence wins half the battle. Assess your situation and think of ways to get out of the scene. For example, if you have been attacked at your house, think how best you can come out of the room. After coming out, lock the door behind. Use weapons for self defence if you have no other way out.
There are many self defense weapons that you can use. Martial arts or throwing some punches at the attacker is the best form. However, for those who are not so physically fit, there are some other weapons like a sharp edged shooting star which when thrown at the attacker can seriously injure him. Blowguns are one of the other options with a muzzleguard and several darts. They are one of the most ancient weapons and is very effective in injuring people. It can take out a quarter inch of a plywood. Pepper sprays are the easiest defense weapons and effectively paralyses the attacker for some time.
A stun pen is one more option for a defense weapon. It looks very tiny and is designed like a flashlight, but emits 1,200,000 volts of electricity. It is so strong that it can seriously injure the attacker. It has replaceable batteries and is a very powerful weapon. There are various forms of such stun weapons available. The mentioned weapons can effectively paralyze the attacker for some time. Call the emergency and inform the police as soon as you can to take away the attackers. Take precautions at all times for such emergencies and take control of the situation immediately.
