The disclosed self defense devices include devices configured to look like everyday clothing or accessories, but which allow a user to respond to potential danger or attack.

An example safety device includes a storage member, a membrane disposed within the chamber, a material disposed within the membrane, and an actuator moveably attached to the membrane. The storage member has a main body that defines a first opening, a chamber, and a windowed portion. Each of the first opening and the windowed portion provides access between the chamber and an environment exterior to the chamber. The membrane has a first configuration and a second configuration. The material is contained within the membrane when the membrane is in the first configuration and is in fluid communication with the environment exterior to the membrane when the membrane is in the second configuration. The actuator is moveable between a first position and a second position such that movement of the actuator results in movement of the membrane from the first configuration to the second configuration.

A reusable aerosol self-defense spray canister container is configured to house a replaceable aerosol self-defense spray canister and includes a transparent housing having a cylindrical side wall, and a spray head removably attached to the cylindrical side wall of the transparent housing. The cylindrical side wall of the transparent housing is configured to be spaced apart from the replaceable aerosol self-defense spray canister when the reusable aerosol self-defense spray canister container houses the replaceable aerosol self-defense spray canister, such that the cylindrical side wall of the transparent housing is configured to house a decorative sheet of material between the cylindrical side wall of the transparent housing and the replaceable aerosol self-defense spray canister.

An aerosol self-defense spray canister container including a pistol grip shaped housing configured to house an aerosol self-defense spray canister. The housing defines a finger-receiving opening thorough which a user’s pointer finger can securely grasp the container for use, and a grip handle around which one or more of the user’s other fingers can grasp the container for use. The container also includes an aerosol dispenser housed within the housing and movable between an inactivated position and an activated position to selectively dispense an aerosol self-defense spray from the housed aerosol self-defense spray canister.

A tactical communications apparatus is used to establish secure, reliable communications between a forward-deployed communications station and any designated second communicator during a building siege or hostage situation. At least one communications device, at least one processing unit, a transceiver array, and a power supply are mounted to a casing. The casing allows the tactical communication apparatus to be tossed into an area. The transceiver array wirelessly connects to at least one remote terminal, enabling communication via the at least one communication device. The casing also contains a plurality of discrete surveillance devices mounted into the casing to enable an operator to remotely surveil the area around the casing. Further, the tactical communication apparatus also supports at least one offensive device operated via the at least one remote terminal. The at least one offensive device may be activated as cover for responders if communications fail to resolve a situation.

A device that attaches to a handgun that selectively dispenses material from a pressurized canister. The device defines an internal receptacle of a first length that is sized to receive the pressurized canister. A nozzle is disposed at a first end. The pressurized canister is selectively biased against the spray nozzle by being displaced within the canister receptacle by a manual actuator. An actuator is suspended between the tabs with a pivot joint. This enables the actuator to swing from a first position outside the receptacle to a second position within the receptacle. The part of the actuator that enters the receptacle contacts the pressurized canister and displaces the pressurized canister forward against the spray nozzle. This releases the contents of the pressurized canister through the spray nozzle. The actuator includes two parallel levers that pass to both sides of the handgun's trigger guard.
