The Pros and Cons of Carrying the Best Self Defense Weapons By:Steve Gib

So what kind of implications are involved in carrying my list of the best self defense weapons? I will try to cover the pros and cons of carrying a concealed weapon for self defense purposes. I'm not a lawyer so if you want legal advice on weapons, talk to a pro.

Best self defense weapons pros #1 - When you use a weapon against someone physically attacking you, you will have the upper hand. Especially if you use the weapon with the element of surprise and maximum hostility. If you threaten an assailant with a weapon, chances are he will disarm you, then use it on you.

Best self defense weapons pros #2 - If your attacker pulls a weapon on you, you have the legal right in most places to use a weapon against him as well. However, it can also be ruled that both of you were in the wrong, so be aware of the implications of using a weapon. But if your attacker is threatening you with a weapon, take him down with yours first!

Best self defense weapons cons #1 - A problem with carrying a concealed weapon is that it is a crime in some areas. I have found that if you get a carrying holster or case that is visible you won't have the problem explaining to a police officer why you have a concealed knife in your back pocket.

Best self defense weapons cons #2 - Like I stated before, another problem concerning weapons is that a bigger or faster, or simply drugged up criminal could disarm you if you don't use force and power with your weapon. Carrying a weapon is only effective if you can deploy and use it.

When carrying self defense weapons always remember that acting first generally means a victory.
