Many of us would not consider the keychain as a first line of defense. But consider this, what item would you never leave home without? Ok, your phone. I get it. What about the second item you would not leave home without? Your keys! The keys to your car, your home, the gym, the PO box or for whatever it is you lock. You always take your keys. It ruins your days when you leave your keys behind. And what keeps these all nice and organized? A keychain. So in terms of self defense, it makes sense to have a defensive weapon on your keychain.
These defensive weapons are small and can easily fit in your pockets, purse or handbags. These are mostly not intimidating, designed to be fashionable but effective, always ready to use at a moment’s notice.
When my daughter was still in college, I worried whenever she had to walk home from school late at night. It was an open campus and there was no way the campus police could patrol the whole place. Our solution was a pepper spray keychain. It was small, cute and unobtrusive. Matched her style. But more importantly, she had a defensive weapon on hand whenever she might need it. We were still nervous and asked her to call whenever she gets home. But knowing she had a defensive weapon on a keychain with her lightened that somewhat and helped us sleep just a little better.
There are other options for personal self defense. You can take martial art classes, join a gun club or, like someone I know, join the military. You can also take up running to buildup your speed. For the rest of us, we can always rely on our ever present keychain with the pepper spray attachment.
