After reading this article, you’ll be ready with all of the tips for legal self-defense. Here are a few products and strategies you should have on hand at all times.
Legal Self-Defense Products You Should Carry With You
There are many different products you can carry with you as a mechanism for legal self-defense. Whether you choose to carry pepper spray or a different legal weapon, you will feel more protected if something happens to you.
Pepper Spray
Carrying pepper spray is a great legal self-defense product to carry around with you. You don’t physically need to use it, but rather you can just take it out of your pocket or purse and spray it. This will not physically harm your victim other than causing a burning sensation in the eyes.
Pocket Knife
One of the best investments you can make for yourself, whether to use as one of your legal self-defense weapons or for survival (in the worst-case scenario) is a pocket knife.
The best part about having a pocket knife is that you don’t have to use it. If you show your attacker that you have a knife with you, they may back away and withdraw from the attack.
Baton
Another option to carry around with you is a TBOTECH product. This pocket baton can fold up into a small item that can fit in your pocket. When you pull it out, it can extend to either 16, 21, 26, or 31 inches.
Self-Defense Strategies to Use
Whether you have self-defense products with you or not, you should know these strategies at all times. They will keep you safe in unexpected situations.
One such strategy is putting your car keys between your fingers at all times. This will help you in case someone jumps out or trys to assault you. You will have some type of weapon ready to use (without it being meant as a weapon)
If you are walking alone, you should also never be on your phone especially at night. This makes it more difficult to be aware of what is happening in your surroundings.
If you do happen to be put in a dangerous situation, make sure to immediately use your voice to call for help. This is your first line of defense.
