Self Defense Weapons

  A self-defense stun gun knife is a weapon that comes in different sizes and shapes but all have one main purpose which is to protect the user from harm. The number of stun gun knives available ranges from single-handed pocket knives to huge wielders at around 6 feet long. They can be found in the shape of retractable pen knives, escape tools, switchblades, and even disguised as Swiss army knives.  A major advantage they have over other weapons such as weapons, pistols or rifles, is that they are undetectable to law enforcement officials who may be searching for other signs of violence or weaponry.

  A Police baton is a short-handled, collapsible cane with a semi-rigid cylindrical steel shaft. They have long been used as a defensive weapon in police and corrections settings and were commonly found during the early 20th century in criminal areas of cities outside the United States.  The design has varied considerably over time, but modern batons are typically around 60" (cm) in length for officer protection and 45 lbs (20 kg) for offender incapacitation.  The length of 45 pounds is derived from legal standards that allow officers to use as much force as reasonably necessary to control or arrest an offender. Length is limited by the rules of some sports, such as the National Football League, which may limit a coach's challenge flag to be no longer than 45 inches.
