There are a certain amount of costs associated with being criminalized and even assaulted. If one is injured, they will need to provide insurance and even pay medical bills. Those who get items stolen can lose family heirlooms and other valuables. But as long as the right self defense equipment is obtained, this isn't going to threaten the average consumer.

One of the favorites of females and males alike is the pepper spray. Pepper spray is incredibly effective since it attacks multiple things at once. It attacks the eyes of the victim and renders them temporarily blind, causes an inflammation of the skin, and even makes it difficult for the victim to breathe. And best of all, it is cheap and can be easily concealed for fast usage.

Stun guns are also quite popular for those who don't have enough strength to get away from a heavily built male. Often times most who use stun guns are females, as they can quickly disable an attacker and force them to the ground in seconds. Although more costly, stun guns can come in many varieties, and can even have longer ranges than pepper spray to make for more safety.

Even more lethal force will come as a result of the knife- which most will avoid because they cause a mess or are harder to use. While they are messier, they can be more effective in keeping an attacker away from a victim in close range fighting. Knives can be concealed in everyday objects such as pens- making them a great tool for tight areas or even for getting the element of surprise.

Hand batons are another option for consumers, although we commonly see them in use by the police more than the average consumer. Just like knives, the baton isn't as familiar to most people, and thus, less used. But the baton is a great tool for those with upper body strength and those who don't want to exert lethal force in keeping an attacker at bay.

Air guns are another solution for consumers who want the power of a gun, but in a non-lethal force. Police commonly use air pistols and rifles to help bring riots under control and in other intense situations where lethal force is not a good idea. Air guns are harder to conceal, however, and will require practice to use correctly.
