Boker SO4PRO-K Titanium Pocket Stick
This pocket stick can be used both as a defensive tool or, via its rounded tip, as a capable massage tool for relaxation of muscle tightness. The double finger loop in the middle of the shaft allows you to hold the pocket stick and use your hands without dropping or losing it in a defensive situation. Its lack of a blade or point makes it appear very inoffensive while still being effective and versatile. The SO4PRO-K Titanium Pocket Stick is constructed of grade 4 titanium and has an overall length of 5.25 inches.

Counter Assault Bear Deterrent
Counter Assault’s Bear Deterrent is a lifesaving pepper spray that’s capable of stopping an attacking bear from 30 feet away, with no harm to either party. The CA-12 model contains 8.1 ounces of 18 percent OC (2 million Scoville heat units) solution that can be shot continuously for 7.2 seconds. The canister weighs only 1 pound, making for easy backpack carry. Since bear attacks happen each year, having a deterrent spray, which can be used on a variety of predators, is not unwarranted.

Counter Assault Pepper Blitz
This OC spray is a serious, no-joke zombie-stopper that is just as good for stopping muggers and thugs. The Pepper Blitz pepper spray comes in 11- or 15-gram canisters that shoot a green stream of 18 percent OC solution as far as 10 feet, using a ballistic stream to reduce blowback. The 11-gram canister comes as a key ring unit, while the 15-gram canister comes as a keyring or flip-top/pocket-clip unit. The latter model has sufficient volume to provide approximately eight 1-second bursts to take care of several human or animal attackers. A 40-gram fogger is also available.

Personal defense is not always a firearm. Depending on the location, situation, clothing or venue, a pistol, a combat folder or even a pocketknife may not always be right for carrying concealed. That’s why we’re bringing you this roundup of the less-lethal gear. These tools can be used in defensive situations to stop or prevent an attack. Even though each of these devices is designed to be less-lethal (we’ve listed no blades longer than 1.5 inches), please verify with the TSA prior to attempting to transport any of them in carry-on luggage and with local law enforcement to ensure hassle-free carry.
