I need your recommendations.

Without going into detail, I'll just say that due to very recent events, I need to find an edc taser and pepper spray for my 18yr old daughter's safety and peace of mind.

I need some solid recommendations. I'm looking for reliability and effectiveness. I know nothing about what to look for or what brands are reputable.

I have bought this pepper spray before, but haven't had to use it yet, so I can't really say if it's good or not. I'm sure one of the LEOs will be along to help out with the taser recommendations shortly. They would know better than me.

I don’t know much about ltl options but I believe I would go with the items below.

Not trying to be smart-aleck at all... but my wife and girls carry a snub-nose, hammerless, S&W in .38, or .357 loaded with .38. They're not highly trained, but all they have to remember is pull the trigger and keep pulling it. About twice a year I ask 'em "how do you run this?" Answer: (with an eye roll) "pull the trigger". Can be fired through a purse or jacket pocket without fouling/malfunctioning and turning into a single-shot weapon. Won't go out of battery (and therefore not fire) if pressed against bad guy's ribcage or grabbed by bad guy.

Pepper spray is difficult to deploy on an assailant. You might notice most uses are "offensive" on immobile but noncompliant subjects (by LEO), not defensively on assailants. The same with tasers. Additionally, taser effect ceases completely the instant contact is lost.

Problem is that apparantly 18yr olds don't have constitutional rights. Also, she'll be going off to college soon and that's a whole nonpermissive environment.

Maine non-resident permit is available at the age of 18, just sent off for one for my 20 year old daughter. Second, schools and most laws, treat pepperspray and tasers as weapons so shes still getting suspended or expelled or having a hearing if caught. But to directly answer your question, Pom Pepper spray. Sabre is good but the safety constantly gets disengaged so I do not recommend it. Axon tasers are what PD uses, and has some civilian products. I dont really recommend most civilian models, I've seen people use them on themselves/each other for fun, with no effect.

They have the Byrna pepper ball guns at https://sharpthingsokc.com/ in their OKC, OK store. They're worth looking into. Appear to be well made.

Thank you all for the suggestions.
