SMITH & WESSON SWBAT21H COLLAPSIBLE BATON
Measuring up at 16″, 21″ AND 26″ when fully deployed, the Smith & Wesson SWBAT21H Collapsible Baton gives users about the same reach and power as a small baseball bat — meaning it can be swung with great force and strike assailants with devastating power. However, unlike bats, it can be collapsed when not in use down to just 8.5″ — roughly small enough to stash in any standard-sized nightstand or KITCHEN drawer. It’s also made from super-sturdy, lightweight Chromoly steel — meaning it can survive quite a bit of abuse without breaking or becoming ineffective as a self-defense weapon. In case that’s not enough to get you on board with this device, it’s also utilized by actual law enforcement personnel across the country, which lends credence to its overall effectiveness as a tool.

STREETWISE BARBARIAN STUN BATON
If you’ve ever been accidentally electrocuted, you’re probably aware of just how much even a low-voltage shock can sting. Of course, if you’ve never felt it yourself, you can simply Google videos of people getting shocked to understand just how unpleasant it can be and how effectively it can drop even a large man regardless of size or strength. As such, you can probably understand the value of utilizing the Streetwise Barbarian Stun Baton as a home defense weapon. Not only will it help keep some distance between you and any potential attackers it also can emit 90 million volts across a trio of contact zones (the tip and the sides) — the sound of which alone might scare off intruders. Just keep in mind: yes, this device can deliver a powerful shock that will flatten any assailant.

Warrior X Pro Tactical Flashlight is an effective self-defense weapon with some built-in versatility — meaning it works in more than one way. For starters, this light emits a beam of light of up to 2,100 lumens, which is more than enough to temporarily blind and disorient any attacker. It’s so bright, in fact, that it may be useful even in the case that an attacker is wearing sunglasses. However, if the light fails to halt an attack, this portable torch was also built with a durable and lightweight aluminum body and a toothed bezel designed specifically for use as a blunt striking instrument. To summarize, the Warrior X Pro can be used to blind and beat an attacker, lending credence to this device as a double threat. Better still, it’s also useful as a simple piece of everyday carry gear when you don’t need to defend yourself, giving it even more overall value.

Utilized by law enforcement and military personnel around the world, the ARMA 100 Bean Bag Gun is effective at knocking down assailants at up to 20 feet away — sending non-lethal bean bag rounds across the room at a rate of 135 feet per second. For reference, that’s enough force to completely knock the wind out of a healthy adult male, should you score a direct hit. It’s also legal to own in all 50 States and requires no license or training to own. The one thing worth noting, however, is that — in the right combination of circumstances — this could theoretically be lethal, especially if fired at someone’s face or throat. Furthermore, it’s only good for a single shot prior to necessitating reloading — meaning you’ll need to be confident in your ability to hit your target on the first go if you want to utilize this as a home defense weapon. If you’re comfortable with those two issues, this could be one of the best go-to self-defense devices around.

S1 PEPPER SPRAY GUN
Pepper Spray Gun is a mainstay of the home- and self-defense industries, and it works in two ways (so long as you pick up the black one). First, it looks a lot like a genuine firearm which could be enough to scare off an intruder in the heat of the moment. However, if the home invader keeps coming at you, you can simply pull the trigger and send pepper spray and/or tear gas rounds (it comes with 10 of each) in their direction at a rate of 320 feet per second with an effective range of 150-feet or more. Not only will these rounds cause physical pain upon impact, much like paintballs, but they’ll also burst — causing even more physical discomfort, including blinding, and causing respiratory distress like coughing and choking. It’s so effective, in fact, that the U.S. military utilizes it in less-than-lethal circumstances. Unfortunately, if you live in California, New York, or Massachusetts, you can’t have this gun delivered to your home. It must be shipped elsewhere.

X12 TASER SHOTGUN
The Typhoon Defense X12 12 Gauge Semi-Auto shotgun is the next step in the evolution of shotguns. This gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun has an upper received constructed from 7075 T6 aluminum and a lightweight but extremely durable polymer receiver. The X12 offers familiar AR-15 ergonomics and controls, so you don’t need to re-train your mechanics when running 3 gun or out blasting targets. The X12 is a magazine fed with 5+1 round capacity of 2 ¾” and 3” shells. Its capability and versatility make the X12 a clear leader in semi-automatic mag fed shotguns for sport, field, tactical or self-defense.
TASER PULSE+ STUN GUN
This brand is so synonymous with non-lethal electric self-defense devices that people use the name TASER interchangeably with “stun gun.” And that’s probably because they’ve mastered the creation and implementation of the said devices. One of the brand’s latest and greatest offerings is the ultra-compact Pulse+ you see here. Weighing just 8oz in total, this stun gun can effectively halt and disable assailants at up to 15′ away — utilizing a powerful electric charge that can override muscles for up to 30 seconds at a time. Better still, the Pulse+ can link up to Noonlight, a smart app that can send emergency personnel to your location whenever your stun gun is fired. Yes, $450 is an investment — but if it means safety and peace of mind, we think it seems more than worth the price.

Colloquially known as “man’s best friend,” a dog can serve in numerous ways as an effective means of protecting your home against burglaries and break-ins. For starters, regardless of their breed and/or size, a barking dog can function like an alarm, alerting you, your neighbors, and (of course) the home invaders themselves of its awareness of a break-in. That alone is enough to turn away a huge number of potential burglars. However, should the barking not frighten off an assailant, a dog can also be trained to attack unfamiliar humans — meaning your canine can be turned into a weapon itself, which is something we’ve seen put into practice by police and military organizations around the world. It’s worth pointing out that this should not be your primary reason for getting a dog nd we’d be remiss in our duties if we didn’t suggest adoption (as opposed to buying from a breeder) as the preferred method for acquiring a canine.
THE 12 BEST GUARD DOG BREEDS FOR PROTECTION
As mentioned, home security should not be the primary reason you adopt a dog. There’s no denying the potential effectiveness. With that in mind, if you’re interested in a lifelong pet that can also serve to protect you and yours, we’ve put together this guide to the best guard dog breeds for protection.
SimpliSafe Home Security System
Since home security systems don’t function as “weapons,” per se, they didn’t quite make the list. However, these systems are an exceptional option when it comes to deterrents. After all, you likely won’t need to defend yourself against a home invader if your home is wired to call the police at the first sign of a break-in. Having a home security system installed — like the numerous, brilliant options from SimpliSafe — can reduce your risk of home invasion by a huge margin. In fact, Dr. Joseph B. Kuhns of the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at UNC Charlotte conducted a study that determined as little as 13% of home invaders would continue with a break-in after tripping an alarm. As such, a home security system is a significant, effective means of stacking the deck in your favor — and can even drop your personal risk to negligible levels.
