While the rates of violent crime have fallen significantly in the United States in the past 25 years, the majority of violent crimes are never reported to the police, and of those that are, most of those go unsolved.<\/p>\n

Each person has the responsibility to keep himself as safe as possible from attack and assault, and to make a realistic assessment of his situation and his abilities.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Age, size, level of fitness, the laws where you live, and even your own beliefs will affect your plan to protect yourself and your family.<\/p>\n

Firearms are one of the first things people think of when they are planning for their self-defense<\/a>, but they may not be the best choice in all cases.<\/p>\n

Not every location has the same laws about carrying<\/a>, concealing, or even using firearms, so the gun owner has to be and stay up to date on applicable laws to avoid putting himself in legal jeopardy.<\/p>\n

While, in general, we each have a right to use what is called \u201creasonable force\u201d to protect ourselves and our property, there is also a concept called the \u201cduty to retreat\u201d if possible, without killing or seriously injuring the attacker.<\/p>\n

The burden to prove to a jury that you were indeed acting in self-defense often falls on the victim, and decisions made in the heat of the moment are scrutinized out of context.<\/p>\n

An event that starts with you being attacked may end with legal consequences punishing you for defending yourself.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For that and other reasons, many people consider and make self-defense plans based on methods and products that will disable your assailant without causing serious injury or death.<\/p>\n

The primary purpose of these methods is to make yourself a less attractive target to would-be adversaries, to startle or temporarily disable or incapacitate a foe, and to give you time to get away, to attract help, or to get into a place where the attacker can\u2019t reach you.<\/p>\n

All these goals can be accomplished without killing the bad guy or causing the permanent injury that can come back to bite you \u2013 the victim.<\/p>\n

The following are five ways you can defend yourself from attack and assault without causing your assailant harm that may leave you legally vulnerable.<\/p>\n

#1 Make A Scene To Scare Your Aggressor Away<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

First, after making sure you have taken all the reasonable precautions to prevent being attacked, such as traveling in pairs, being aware of your surroundings, and making eye contact with the people around you, your first weapon is to make a scene if someone approaches you meaning to do you harm.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Scream, throw things, break things \u2013 whatever it takes to attract attention from passersby.<\/p>\n

Criminals, above all, do not want to get caught and may decide that you are not worth the effort if others look your way or come closer to see what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

Use the panic button on your key fob, the horn on your car, or one of the widely available noise-making apps and gadgets available to make earsplitting sounds to make the attacker flee.<\/p>\n

Some can be connected to your purse or a child\u2019s backpack or stroller with a mechanism like a pin on a grenade, which, when pulled in a split-second situation, produces loud noises designed specifically to attract attention and to deter opponents.<\/p>\n

#2 An Electrical Charge Will Stop Your Assailant In His Tracks<\/h2>\n

\"Holding<\/p>\n

Stun Guns<\/a> come in all shapes and sizes, delivering a non-lethal electrical charge when pressed against an aggressor.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The charge overwhelms voluntary muscles, causing them to stop working, and the victim of the charge is knocked to the ground, unable to respond so that you can get away and call for help.<\/p>\n

Some models come in the shape of a baton, and the size of a flashlight, and can be pressed against an attacker\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

When you activate the weapon, current flows from the wand into the assailant and interrupts the transmission of nerve impulses from the muscles to the brain.<\/p>\n

In simple terms, he will have no voluntary control over those muscles for as long as the current is active.<\/p>\n

Even when the current is stopped, it has been painful enough and enough of a shock to the body that the criminal won\u2019t be getting up quickly.<\/p>\n

When he does, he will not be anxious to attack you again to be hit again with the electrical charge.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Other models may be longer, like a bat or a cane, allowing you to have a longer reach and to keep the would-be attacker from getting too close to you.<\/p>\n

The cane-style weapons have the added benefit of providing extra support with walking for the elderly or mobility impaired.<\/p>\n

Remember that the purpose of this type of weapon is to allow you enough time to run away, alert passersby, call the police or get yourself into a safer place where the attacker can\u2019t reach you.<\/p>\n

Getting a concealed carry gun<\/a> is another way to prepare for these kinds of situation.\u00a0 Aside from getting a reliable gun, choosing a concealed carry holster<\/a> and learning about the types of gun holsters<\/a> are critical. Here\u2019s an article about the best belly band holster<\/a> to help you get started.<\/p>\n
