The state of Alabama boasts beautiful weather and some very nice areas, but, Birmingham, Alabama, has been named as one of the top 10 most dangerous cities in the United States. It never hurts to be vigilant and carry some type of self defense product like pepper spray or a stun gun. Both are legal in Alabama.

Alabama has no law that prohibits you from carrying or using self defense products such as pepper spray, stun guns—whether easy to spot or concealed to look like other items like pens or lipstick. This makes it easier for you to respond to dangerous situations. Personal safety should be a priority—it’s simple and inexpensive have something with you that could save you from getting hurt…or worse.

Whether you are commuting for work, running errands, or enjoying some recreation time, you never know when a potentially dangerous situation can arise. Avoiding dangerous places whenever possible is always recommended, but crime can happen anywhere, to anyone, at any time.

Having a non-lethal weapon on hand can help you to put distance between you and an assailant and give you the time you need to get away to safety. You can find plenty of options when you visit our online store and get just what you need for your own unique situation.
