Safety and Self defense

Self-Defense Weapons & Non-Lethal Weapons.

The Home Security Superstore

Some common self-defense weapons include pepper spray, expandable batons, pocket knives, stun guns, and tasers. All of these can be effective in different situations.

What are the most effective personal defense weapons that are not firearms? 

Anything that you are able to use effectively. Everyone is different and have different physical limitations or advantages.

Deciding ahead to time, to use a knife, when you have no real training is an example.

Where choosing Mace might be a better alternative.

You also need to consider what the attacker has that can be used against you.

The best thing to do, in my opinion, is to work out what methods, and you should have more than one, you are able to use proficiently.
