One Stop Security

In all elements of personal protection and self defense, one of the most crucial elements to your advantage is the element of surprise. Even if your attacker is physically stronger or larger than you, if you are able to catch that person off guard, you stand a better chance of escaping the situation unharmed. Of course, there are no guarantees when it comes to being attacked, but the best anybody can do is be prepared and hope they never need that preparation.

For those people who feel comfortable carrying self defense weapons, the element of surprise is best aided by “pretender” self defense products. These are products that look like an ordinary everyday object but are actually a means of self defense. For example, a pen knife is an excellent example of a “pretender.” Although it looks exactly like a normal pen from the outside, it is actually a knife. Other examples include the lipstick pepper spray or the cell phone stun gun. Although we all hope these will sit in our purses and briefcases unused, for many, it is a comfort just knowing they’re there, ready to turn the tables on the bad guys.

A good self-defense weapon is something you can always take along with you whenever you go and is very accessible in the pocket or bag. Pen knives look like ordinary pens that you can put on your shirt pocket. It can be used for writing but, unknown to potential assailants, also hides a small blade inside it.

A pen knife can help you handle a possible threat just by pulling the pen apart. You can easily reach into your pocket, reveal the knife and defend yourself. This tiny weapon can save your life. So always be prepared for any situation. Keep a pen knife in your pocket and another in your bag all the time.
