Safety Tools One Could Carry

PPE: Complete guide to Personal Protective Equipment

In case of an emergency, it is important to be properly prepared. Unfortunately, you don’t know what a day may hold or what could take place. There are many tools and techniques available that you can use to protect yourself in case something was to happen. Here are some of the most popular things that people like to have to ensure their safety.

Knife

A pocketknife is something that is simple and easy to carry with you no matter where you are. It can be used for more than just self-defense, so no permit or special carrying license is necessary to own one of these. Many knives are small and easy to conceal, making them a popular choice. They are not very expensive and can be bought in many different places. The kind you buy will depend on your preference and need.

Gun

If you live in a state that allows it, conceal carrying is another option. You could wear a CCW vest, holster, or gun sleeve that will help you carry the firearm safely yet keep it concealed. Carrying with one of these allows you the ability to do day to day activities and not be hindered from carrying around a gun. You will want to wear something that gives you easy access and offers convenience if you need it in an emergency. Your weapon needs to be easy to access, yet not be in a place where someone can see it on you.

Pepper Spray

Pepper spray can be a way to disable someone and allow you enough time to get away from them. When spraying it, aim it in the vulnerable spots of the attacker, such as the eyes. It offers a non-lethal way to protect yourself. Many different size spray bottles can be carried around, with some attaching to a key chain or placed in a personal bag. This is a popular thing for women to carry around as it is easy to maneuver and get to.

Martial Arts

Although beneficial to know, martial arts is more than just a purchase. The various moves and techniques will take time to learn. With practice and training, these self-defense techniques could help protect you when in close quarters. If you are face to face with your attacker, knowing simple strikes and punches can protect you.

Although you never expect you to be in one, you should be prepared in case you ever find yourself in an emergency situation. Consider some of these tools and see which one might be best for you to have.
