Are tactical pens really all that effective as a self-defense weapon?
A recent trip to the airport proved my point about how "tactical" these items really are... and some of the hidden traps you need to look out for.
In this episode I'll share with you the truth about using a pen as a self-defense weapon with some real-world how-to of what really works!

Instructor here. For what it's worth, I've brought my Schrade tactical pen through TSA multiple times and have never gotten a second glance, nevermind getting it confiscated. I keep it in my hand in "pen" mode and put it in the personal items bucket with a small notepad, my watch, keys, etc. No problems.

Clip it right onto a notepad. Looks instant.

I've had the exact same experience. The key is to carry it with a notepad or with a bunch of other pens. Never had a problem getting through various airports with mine.

I work in a prison and have a basic titanium clicker pen with steel refills. I also have another titanium pen with a non-aggressive glass breaker with a screw cap. It can be used for self defensive both with writing side out or glass breaker out. I get both of them in with no issues. If anything, the other officers love them and ask how much they cost. When i tell them, they tell me I'm crazy for spending that much on a pen but I look at it as a life insurance policy.

I have a Smith & Wesson tactical pen and it just looks like a weapon. A few people here mentioned the Zebra pen. I'll be picking one up and using that in non-permissive environments. Thanks!

Just ordered a couple of "tactical pens" for my daughters from Sportsman's Guide, only $14.39 each. They won't be going into an airport, or courthouse any time soon. I purchased them for self defense purposes, here in the outskirts of NYC.

. ZEBRA F-701 (0.8mm - fine) These are legitimate pens. Never had one taken by TSA or Courthouse Sheriffs. Yet, I can stab one through a rack of ribs. .

I was given a few at a trade show - I was looking at some gear & was given a few from a nice salesperson. Here in Australia you are not allowed to carry a knife or swiss Army Knife. It used to be any blade over 2inches but now it depends on the police officer but I keep a mini Swiss Army on my key ring & had no issues so far. I get alot of packages sent & don't have scissors to cut open boxes as needed.

I feel like if I’m relying on a pen as my defense tool, it’s probably because I’m in a very non-permissive environment. If that’s the case, I wanna draw as little attention as possible. I recently purchased the “Rebel” model from Atomic Bear, and I’m very pleased.

@dean7673 4 ай бұрын

I got one from atomic bear and it’s very cool but the cap doesn’t stick on the back and it’s 2 pieces. It looks very aggressive when put together because the glass breaker is a spike.

Okay so what tactical pen brands does he recommend that fits TSA friendly requirements and looks less like a tactical pen? Maybe I missed his recommendations in the video. Please let me know. Thanks.

Haven’t really trained with pens much, but I played around with a tactical pen I just got for free and what I realized is you can get to a pen in your pocket much faster with the ice pick grip than a folding pocket knife. You might even cut yourself if you try to go for a pocket knife if someone interrupts you while deploying it. So I’m now considering maybe even carrying one around more often.

I wonder why noone has thought of a tac. pen where the tungsten/carbide tip is the actual cylindrical ''hole'' part of the ballpoint pen tip. If it's mechanically possible to build one and make it a normal color and shape unlike some tacticool monstrocities I've seen, it won't look suspicious

@mainewoods1862 Ай бұрын

I haven’t flown in a bit , when I do I always have a messenger bag / soft leather briefcase. I have my laptop and kindle and maybe an IPad. The bag holds a few pens, I always put the defense pen in there. To your point my Sharade is pink. Sadly they no longer make that model. I always but non tactical looking defense pens and have flown dozens of times , including international with them Zero issues. I have used it twice and it is indeed Very Effective as it delivers LOTS of pain ! As you said a force multiplier. I always have a 1,000 lumen light , defense pen and also a knife even if I have to buy one after flying.

What if the cap is for the pen, but not for the striking end? Meaning, you don't have to take the cap off to use it for self defense. Is that ok?

Bic round stic pen is the best tactical pen. Cheap, replacable, inconspicuous, doesn't shatter

I am all for tactical pens, Security are well aware of what they are so don't loose them ! I carry a sharpie marker now, or knuckle single or full knuckles. I do carry and use a lot at my job a tactical pen it's a voodoo ? I think it's round pressure tip works very well.

I pulled out one of my tactical pens as I was watching this. One big mistake I see is the printing on it is 'STRIKEPEN'. This in itself would make it hard to explain that it's not a weapon.

To answer your end question. I carry the Smith and Wesson flashlight tac pen. I take the battery’s out and roll up money and keep it inside for an emergency. I wear kuba kicks in my boot also. I roll play different senecios practicing getting to my weapon. I do carry a firearm,but a firearm is last resort. On my wrist I went the paraclaw in case I get attacked by a wrestler,or grappler.
