What is the best LEGAL self-defense weapon?
Without any doubt, the best self defense weapon in the world is the handgun. It has been shown to PREVENT a million of more crimes per year, usually without any shot ever being fired. Show that you have a gun, let alone point it at the bad guy, and all but the most insane will take off running. No other weapon or training can come close to making such a claim. In most places and for most people it is perfectly legal to possess a handgun. In those places where it isn’t, the law is simply wrong. If you don’t care for the handgun, we believe that pepper spray is the next best alternative. When effectively-deployed, it can put most people down with one shot, and its effects last up to thirty minutes, allowing plenty of time for escape. After pepper spray, there are a lot of contenders. But the bottom line is that the best weapon is whatever is at hand when the assault happens, even if it is merely a pen or pencil.
