Personal Safety devices and you. What to know and what to use. Begin this year by protecting yourself and your loved ones.

What are personal saftey devices? 

 Personal safety devices are devices or tools that are designed to help keep people safe in potentially dangerous or hazardous situations. They can be used to protect against physical threats, such as attacks or accidents, or against environmental threats, such as extreme temperatures or natural disasters. Examples of personal safety devices include safety alarms, personal alarms, pepper spray, and self-defense tools such as stun guns or Tasers. 

Personal safety devices can be carried on a person's person or kept in a nearby location for easy access in an emergency. Different countries have different laws and regulations regarding the use and possession of personal safety devices. Some countries may ban certain types of personal safety devices, while others may have restrictions on their use or possession. 

For example: In the United States, some states have laws regulating the use or possession of certain personal safety devices, such as pepper spray or stun guns. In some cases, these devices may only be legal to use or possess if the user has a valid permit. 

 In Canada, pepper spray is classified as a restricted weapon and is regulated under the country's firearms laws. Possession of pepper spray is generally only allowed for individuals who have a valid reason for needing it, such as law enforcement officers or individuals working in a high-risk occupation. 

 In the United Kingdom, possession of a personal safety device such as pepper spray or a stun gun is illegal. It is also illegal to carry any object that could be used as a weapon, such as a baseball bat or a hammer, with the intention of using it to defend oneself. 

 It is important to be aware of the laws and regulations regarding personal safety devices in your country or location. 

 With that said,lets take a look at some types... 

 1. Personal Safety Alarm 

 There are many different types of personal safety alarms on the market, and the best one for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Some things to consider when choosing a personal safety alarm include:

• Type of alarm: Personal safety alarms can take the form of a loud, handheld device that can be activated manually, or they can be integrated into other personal safety devices such as a bracelet or keychain. Some alarms also have a panic button that can be pressed to quickly call for help. Volume: Make sure the personal safety alarm you choose is loud enough to be heard by others in the area. The louder the alarm, the more likely it is to attract attention and help. 
• Battery life: Consider the battery life of the personal safety alarm you choose. If you plan on using it frequently or in emergency situations, you'll want a device with a long battery life. 
• Ease of use: Choose a personal safety alarm that is easy to activate and use in an emergency situation. You want something that can be activated quickly and without confusion. 
• Size and portability: Consider the size and portability of the personal safety alarm. If you plan on carrying it with you at all times, you'll want something that is small and easy to carry. 
• Price: Determine your budget and look for a personal safety alarm that fits within it.

2. Pepper Spray

There are many different brands and types of pepper spray available on the market, and the best one for you will depend on your specific needs and preferences. Some things to consider when choosing pepper spray include:

• Strength: Pepper spray is rated in terms of its concentration of capsaicin, the active ingredient that causes the burning sensation. Higher concentrations are generally more effective, but they may also be more painful and potentially harmful. Consider the level of protection you need and choose a pepper spray with an appropriate concentration.
• Spray pattern: Pepper spray can be dispersed in a number of different patterns, including a stream, a cone, or a mist. Consider the type of spray pattern that will be most effective for your needs.
• Size and portability: Consider the size and portability of the pepper spray. If you plan on carrying it with you at all times, you'll want something that is small and easy to carry.
• Price: Determine your budget and look for pepper spray that fits within it.
• Legal restrictions: Be aware of any legal restrictions on the possession and use of pepper spray in your country or location. In some places, pepper spray may be illegal or may only be legal to use or possess with a valid permit.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the proper use and handling of pepper spray before using it. You may also find that if normal security pepper spray is unavailable in your area a quick search for a spray deterrant directed at an animal may be easier to find. Something like...

3. Self defence tools (physical)

There are many different types of self-defense tools that are portable and can be easily carried with you. Some examples of portable self-defense tools include:

• Stun gun: A stun gun is a handheld device that delivers an electrical shock to an attacker, causing temporary paralysis and incapacitation. Stun guns are small and portable, and can be carried in a purse, pocket, or on a keychain.
• Tactical pen: A tactical pen is a writing instrument that can also be used as a self-defense tool. It can be used to strike an attacker or to defend against an attack with its pointed end. Tactical pens are small and portable, and can be carried in a purse, pocket, or on a keychain.
• Keychain self-defense tools: There are also a number of self-defense tools that can be attached to a keychain, such as kubotans or self-defense keychains. These tools are small and portable, and can be easily carried on a keychain.
• Tatical Safety (Police) batons: An expandable baton (also referred to variously as a collapsible baton, telescopic baton, tactical baton, spring cosh, ASP, or extendable) is typically composed of a cylindrical outer shaft containing telescoping inner shafts (typically 2 or 3, depending on the design) that lock into each other when expanded. The shafts are usually made of steel, but lightweight baton models may have their shafts made from other materials such as aluminium alloy.

It is important to familiarize yourself with the proper use and handling of any self-defense tool before using it as well as the legality in your country.
