INTRODUCTION
It may seem ironic if not contradictory if this introduction is asking the reader to always bear in mind the following advice, namely ……
Escape is the best defence when you are confronted by a life and / or serious injury threatening situation.
There are 2 reasons for adopting this attitude when the possibility to escape exists :
(1) Self-defence tools/devices currently available are often dangerous to the user or cannot be used properly without proper training.
(2) There is always the likelihood that use of such tools/devices could make the attacker more aggressive. So, if you have to use a self defence tool make sure its one you prefer and know how to use to the best of its capabilities i.e. features !
Which Self Defence Devices To Consider
The world can be an intimidating place, so why not have something to defend against in a hairy situation? We are all a little afraid of being the next victim of a random assault or home invasion. On the other hand, we all think about the consequences of using lethal means and the serious trouble that can come from acting in self-defense. The best solution ?
Non-lethal self-defense items that will leave your attacker helpless, in pain, and ripe for police pickup. Stun guns, sticks and pepper gel, tactical pens are all viable options. Also worthy of consideration are high intensity flashlights which are discussed in the ‘Survival Lighting’ section.
The 2 options we will discuss here are (i) Tactical Pens and (ii) Pepper Sprays.
(i) TACTICAL PENS
Tactical pens are a type of ballpoint pen with special functions. They are also often called self-defense pens or tactical pens. They combine writing utensils, tools and weapons in a small pen . They are very inconspicuous and do not attract attention as a weapon since they look like a normal ballpoint pen.
They are built to be very robust and resistant . The surface is usually roughened or grooved so that the tactical pen lies comfortably in your hand and does not slip away when you write. The writing tip is on one end and the so-called “combat tip” on the other . It consists of sturdy metals and can be used as a glass breaker or as a list of self-defense weapons.
A tactical pen such as a Kubotan can be used as a weapon . It is an Asian melee weapon. With different punch and grip variants you can cause strong pain stimuli in your attacker.
If you are traveling in situations in which you feel unsafe, then always keep the tactical pen in one place on your body or on your clothing so that it is within easy reach.
Usually the lead is protected at the writing tip with a screw cap. There is usually a clip on this that you can use to attach the pen to your belt or a bag . Thanks to their compact size, they can be easily stowed away and taken anywhere.
The hard tip of the tactical pen can be used as a kubotan as well as a glass breaker and, for example, free yourself from your car if the door jams after an accident and you cannot get out otherwise.
Tactical pens are often also called multi-purpose pens and, in addition to the additional functions as a Kubotan or glass breaker, have the main task of writing. Note, however, that they are heavier and usually larger than conventional ballpoint pens.
With a tactical pen you can cause serious injuries to your opponent . Be aware of this and use the tactical pen as a last resort as a Kubotan and thus as a cutting and stabbing weapon . If you use the tactical ballpoint pen as a weapon without being in an emergency situation, this is a criminal offense.
As a self-defence weapon, the tactical pen is just as popular with women as the pepper spray. Since they are often physically inferior to their attacker, carrying such a weapon within reach is usually calming and helpful in an emergency.
If you really want to use your tactical pen as a self-defense weapon, then you should attend an appropriate self-defense course to learn fighting and grip techniques with the pen. It is a melee weapon and if you cannot handle it appropriately, your opponent risks disarming you.
The advantages and disadvantages of tactical pens are clearly presented below.
Advantages | Disadvantages |
multi-functional handy and small inconspicuous weapon high impact with little effort pretty tough | As a striking weapon, it can cause serious injuries. Use as a Kubotan requires training. Heavy nature makes it uncomfortable for use as a regular pen. |

Additional Information ; Buying Advice & Faqs
The main features to look for in the best tactical pen are:
- Made of solid alloy
- well-designed handle
- The pen works like a pen
- discreet
If the Tactical Pens characteristic has each of these qualities, then it’s one of the best. You want it to be made from a strong alloy to make sure it won’t break even under intense pressure.
The handle should be designed to prevent the pen from slipping in your hands when using it for self-defence.
The pen should be discreet and be a functional pen., You also want the pen to have replaceable ink cartridges for long term use.
it’s also a nice bonus feature if it includes a carbide tipped glass breaker.
Once these conditions are met, the best tactical pen is one that is affordable and that you will carry every day.
Summary, Reminders & Faqs
– A tactical pen is primarily for writing, just like a regular pen. However, in the event of a threat, it can be used for defense . – It can hit sensitive areas or nerve points. – Tactical pens are strong and made from durable materials such as steel, aerospace and titanium so they can withstand impact and not break. It is an ideal defense tool, it is available and has no restrictions. It can be carried like a regular pen, but it’s worth learning at least the basics of self-defense with this tool. <<<<Are tactical pens legal in the UK? No, this pen is specifically made as a weapon. Carrying anything specifically for self defence is illegal in the UK.It’s all about your intention. If you carry absolutely anything specifically to use to assault someone you’re breaking the law. <<<<<<< Can I have a tactical pen in Canada? What does this mean for you? You are legally allowed to carry this stick. However, like any legal weapon in Canada. However, it cannot be used, even in self-defence (!) <<< Are tactical pens worth it ? Yes, they are viable self-defense, escape, and hand-to-hand combat weapons. Additionally, tactical pens are versatile and could save your life in more ways than solely if you’re being attacked. For example, it can get you out of a submerged vehicle and notify people that you’re in danger. <<< What should I look for in a tactical pen? Look for a pen made of strong, durable, lightweight components (think aluminum, titanium, etc.). Aesthetics: It’s more than just selecting the coolest-looking model. An innocuous-looking pen won’t draw unwanted attention or get confiscated at the airport. Ink: Don’t forget this tool’s original mission i.e. writing. |

(ii) PEPPER SPRAYS
Before discussing this topic, it’s important for us to remind you to check the legality of this device in your country and / or state. For example, the possession and/or use of this type of self-protection tool is prohibited in the UK and The Netherlands but not in Germany and the USA.
Pepper spray is a powerful substance containing capsaicin—or Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) which is derivative of cayenne pepper. It causes temporary blindness and an excruciating burning sensation in the eyes and mouth that incapacitates attackers—allowing for a safe getaway. Below is a more detailed and illustrative explanation of the effectiveness of Pepper Sprays :
Therefore, we like to stress that it’s not only important to learn how to use such a device BUT ALSO devices like this should be used in a responsible manner in that minimal force is used to deter the attacker/s and help you get away quickly. To achieve both objectives – practice, practice and practice and that includes trying your device on yourself if only in a limited fashion.
THE REVIEWS
The very nature of this product means that we have concentrated on reviewing and recommending products from a brand company, in this case Sabre. This is a market leader as regards pepper sprays production and quality. The company doesn’t stray from the traditional design of a pepper spray canister, which helps its products dominate the market. Sabre is also affordable with many of its best products in a sweet spot between $10 and $20 that won’t stretch your budget and this includes their top device the Sabre Red Pepper Gel.
- Gel-based sprays are a liquid-based option that’s heavier than traditional aerosol sprays. This gives gels a huge advantage because they’re less likely to drift back into your eyes as you spray at an attacker.
- This reduction in blowback makes gels safer to use. Gels are also easier to aim because the spray comes out in a stream you can point at an attacker’s face.
Characteristics :
Carry Method = clip-on holster
Volume = 1.8 oz.
No.of Bursts = 18
Spray Range = 18 feet
PROS :
- safer gel spray feature as opposed to traditional aerosol
- good spray range value
- great value for money product.
CONS :
- NO practice canister
- some customer feedback include dripping problems.

The attack happened to Vincent Jeanbrun’s home in L’Hay-les-Roses in the early hours of Sunday morning (3-07-2023), as violent clashes between protestors and police broke out during a fifth night of unrest. Riots which have rocked the country were sparked by the death of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk, who was allegedly ‘executed’ by police during a traffic stop on Tuesday, a week earlier. A total of 719 people were arrested in France following the widespread unrest. Last night saw Mr Jeanbrun’s home was targeted by rioters, who used a car to ram through the gates of his home and then tried to set it alight. He was not at home at the time.
