Best Self Defense Weapons for Women: Stay Safe with TBOTECH

I have read your comments and came to the conclusion that the comments you make are best for you. I agree if you are going to carry any type of weapon (whether it be lethal or non-lethal) to protect yourself or others, then you need to understand what it can do, learn how to use it, and then train, and then more and more. I carry a gun, and I train others to use firearms, but I also discuss other weapons or tools that can be used in a bad situation. Above all, you have to know now that if the situation came, would you be able and willing to use that weapon of choice? Are you ready and capable to shoot someone? Stab, beat with a bat, smother someone in OC spray? If not then you do not need to carry that or any weapon, because it will be taken from you and used against you. Do I think people should engage in self defense classes, yes I do. Should they train with their firearm as much as possible, yes. But you also need to engage in Situational Awareness, where hopefully you can avoid being in a situation having to make a moment's decision to engage in deadly force. I introduce to women and everyone for that matter, that they should be carrying a Tactical Pen, placed on their person, for easy access, if attacked. We do not carry a gun in the hand, nor do many people carry other types of weapons, which means those weapons are in a purse, or a pocket, not accessible to the intended victim. A tactical pen, if placed properly, can be grabbed and used. Stab a would-be adversary with a tactical pen, HARD, and it will hurt severely! The opportunity to back away, run, or engage a different weapon. I also feel that if you are going to carry any type of weapon, you need to train on gripping that weapon and drawing it out to use. The weapon has to be in a static position, meaning it has to be where you be able to get it as fast as possible. If you have it loose in a purse, it will take you forever to find it. It would be too late. You have to engage in Mental training as well as physical training. Are you financially prepared if you engage, even though you are legally correct in your actions, are you financially prepared for the legal costs of being arrested?? Remember, even if you draw your firearm, the bad guy, may run for the hills. Good, let him. You have a description. Call the cops. Everyone has the right to defend themselves, and others. How you do it is up to you. You have to decide what means you are willing to take to save your life, or your kids. Once you decide, then you have to get the right weapon, as in a gun. Not all guns are made for all people. Size, weight, trigger, but mostly, can you properly manipulate the gun. You have to train and train, practice, mentally and physically. You have to do the right thing for you. We all have opinions and comments. What's right what's wrong. I know best or he knows best. Good for them. You decide what's best for you. Just remember, there are people who love you and expect you to come home every day and night. Thinking you are not important is an issue you need to discuss with yourself. Because you are. Take all these comments and decide for you. Do not let anyone destroy what you have. Thanks!

Hey, Canadian here! Maybe you all should also consider the fact that some countries we CANT get guns and/or walk around carrying!!! WOW crazy right! (Sarcasm). I thought this article provided great options for self defence. Especially as a young college girl going to school in the city, I know I would feel much safer carrying around some pepper spray and an alarm if someone were to attack me. I could never even consider bringing a gun on my college campus for a wide array of reasons that I am not going to go into in a comment section. These are great products that would give me the confidence to feel safer walking around.

What a dumb, ignorant post. Women are most likely to be killed by men they know. The most dangerous time is when they're pregnant. Buying a gun (and training to use it) is the most feasible option for self protection.

If you can't do that, don't want to, or live with an abuser then self defense/martial arts is the best second choice. If that's not realistic look into an extendable baton or long blade weapon that puts distance between you and the attacker and can resist oncoming blows.

Or just get your little lipstick out ... that'll stop the next serial killer/rapist/psycho at 4 AM ...

Very good article....once I got past the anti gun propaganda crap that you were spewing in the beginning. The reality is that any one or a combination of the products mentioned (including firearms) would be viable options depending on the individual's circumstances. There are only 2 reason that someone would take the position that you have: 1. Complete and utter ignorance. Most anti gunners don't take the time to educate themselves about responsible gun owners. They just assume that we're all uneducated, untrained knuckleheads. That would result in all of your misguided anti gun comments. 2. Intentional deception. Putting prsonal gain before the wellbeing of your readers. Convincing people that one type of product is superior to another could increase sales that you might get a kickback from certain manufacturers and you do it even though you know it could cost someone their life. Evil. I'm not sure which of these caused this author to take this position but neither is acceptable or ethical. The reality is that all of these products will have value to some people and should be presented in an open and honest way. By making it clear that using any and all of these products will require different levels of training, will have different levels of effectiveness and come with different levels of consequences if not used responsibly. Instead of mentioning that most of these products could be taken away from someone and used against them, you only mentioned that fact about a firearm and insinuated that it was likely to happen. Complete ignorance or pure evil? I'm not going to judge your motivation but I will suggest getting some help. You should be ashamed of yourself either way. Thank you for your time
