You would think that carrying a weapon for safety would be the best possible way to protect and secure yourself from criminals. But unfortunately, crime statistics present a different picture altogether. They show that overall, self-defense weapons have proven to be ineffective. This is because the criminal takes the victim by surprise and more often than not, the potential victim never has the weapon in their hands at the crime scene. And even if the potential victim has a weapon in their pocket or purse, they don’t get the time or the chance to pull the trigger.

To combat criminals, you need to be attentive and swift because the criminal will never give you time to get your weapon ready and fight back. Also, criminals already know that a lot of people have weapons, like licensed guns for safety purposes. This is why they are already one step ahead of you. And they know exactly what to do even if you point the gun at them.

According to FBI statistics and police reports, in over half of all the crime situations where the victim has tried to use a protective weapon against the criminal/attacker, it has been knocked down from the hands of the victim before they could have used it. And it has also been reported that 1/3 of the gunshot victims have been shot with their own licensed stun-guns by the criminal.
