Content preview: April Newsletter A tactical pen is a writing tool that is also designed to be used as a defensive weapon. Tactical pens are typically made of metal or a very sturdy plastic. Aircraft grade aluminum and titanium are frequently employed to make strong, lightweight, tactical pens. One or both ends of the tactical pen is typically tapered to a point to allow for it to be used as a thrusting self-defense tool. Whereas a normal pen would bend or break if used in a defensive scenario, a tactical pen is designed exactly for this use. Why Carry A Tactical Pen? People carry tactical pens for many reasons. Some may just want a high-quality pen that looks good and matches other gear they may have, like a folding knife or other tactical equipment. The main reason people carry tactical pens is to have a reliable self-defense tool that can be hidden in plain sight. While a knife or firearm will draw most anyone????????s attention if spotted while being carried, a tactical pen is more of a ???????gray man??????? option. Most tactical pens will pass a security or TSA inspection, therefore, can be carried almost anywhere. A reader has sent this article to show that some of the more aggressive style pens do get confiscated at airport checkpoints. Consider this when choosing your pen if you plan on traveling with it. With some basic training, tactical pen carriers are more readily able to protect themselves wherever they go. Another advantage of tactical pens is that often they are designed to be non-lethal and come with a blunt end that is intended to apply painful force to pressure points, sensitive areas, and other vulnerable locations on an attacker????????s body. This can be an appealing non-lethal self-defense option for those not wanting to cause mortal damage to an attacker. Others may just be looking to lighten their kit by combining their self-defense tool with their writing instrument into one small multipurpose item. A tactical pen is perfect for this. Tactical pens are a robust, low key, self-defense option.
