Pepper Spray
There are so many types of pepper spray on the market today that it has become confusing for you to decide which one to get.
There are three basic chemical compounds that compose these defensive sprays.
• CS (Orthochlorobenzalmalonitrile)
• CN (alphachloroacetaphenone)
• OC (Oleoresin Capsicum)
The first two, CS and CN, irritate the membrane tissues and cause stinging and tearing. They can take from 5 to 30 seconds before they are effective and may not work if someone is drunk, on drugs, psychotic, or can't feel pain. The time delay and the fact that they may or may not be effective, is enough to turn people away from the self defense sprays. However, the remaining compound, OC, does not have these limitations. OC, or Pepper Spray, is an inflammatory agent; not an irritant. When someone is sprayed with OC pepper spray, the person's eyes slam shut. Even if someone does manage to get their eyes open, they won't be able to see because OC dilates the capillaries and causes temporary blindness. Additionally, instant inflammation of the breathing tissues restricts all but life support breathing. They double over coughing uncontrollably.
Stun Guns
Stun guns are electrical self-defense weapons that use high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs of the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because stun guns have very low amperage, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.
No matter if you are looking for the Streetwise 1,000,000 Volt Stun Gun (SW1000) or the Streetwise 200,000 Volt Stun Gun (SW200), both are very effective and will stop your attacker in their place.
Each of the stun guns below are effective options you have when defending yourself. The model you choose depends largely on your personal preference. There are different (physical) sizes of stun guns and different voltages you can choose from. Dimensions are given on each page for each stun gun where appropriate. Generally, the higher the voltage, the quicker the full effect of the stun device will happen. Lower voltage models are still effective though they make take a second or two longer to have full effect on your assailant. We generally recommend you get the highest voltage you can comfortably carry.

Several major British police forces say they are refusing the government's calls to extend the use of Taser stun guns to thousands of officers.
The Sussex Police have joined the London Metropolitan Police in refusing to extend the use of Tasers to officers who are not specially trained to wield the weapons, The Daily Telegraph reported Monday.
Still undecided on whether to roll out the non-lethal weapons to more officers are the South Yorkshire Police and Devon and Cornwall Constabulary, the newspaper said.
Concerns over providing 10,000 such weapons to 30,000 officers nationwide have reportedly been sparked by video footage from Nottingham, England, that appeared to depict an officer shocking a man at least twice while he was lying on the floor.
"Tasers should be left in the hands of specially trained firearms officers," Tom Brake, a Liberal Democrat home affairs spokesman, told the Telegraph. "By making Tasers available to 30,000 officers we are descending down the slippery slope towards fully armed, U.S.-style policing."
