    1. Was George Zimmerman hurt?
    Mr. Zimmerman’s attorney, Craig Sonner, has said his client’s nose was broken in a fight with Trayvon. The police report of the incident, written up in the squad car that arrived in response, says Zimmerman was bleeding from the back of his head.

    2. Is 'DeeDee' telling the truth about the phone call?
    Trayvon’s 16-year-old girlfriend has been identified in the media only as “DeeDee.” She has said she was on the phone with Trayvon in his final moments. He said he was being followed and was trying to get away, in her account.

    3. What was the condition of Trayvon Martin's body?
    While much attention has focused on whether George Zimmerman showed evidence of a fight, less has been said about the condition of Travyon Martin’s body. Forensic evidence should be able to establish whether he participated in a hand-to-hand fight with Mr. Zimmerman. At the least he would have sustained bruising to his own hands and body consistent with an attack, if Zimmerman’s account is true.

    4. What if George Zimmerman had non-lethal weapon instead of a hand gun?
    Non-lethal self defense weapons can be used to help you, if you ever find yourself in such situations like George Zimmerman. These personal defense products are light enough to carry around with you, and can be concealed easily. A self defense product such as pepper spray can be used to momentarily pain your attacker while giving you enough time to escape. These self defense weapons do not permanently harm your attacker, they are only meant to buy you enough time to get out of the situation. Other examples of such weapons are like stun guns, stun pens, and stun batons.

    There is no doubt in anybody's mind that police officers have one of the most difficult jobs you can imagine. Every time they are faced with apprehending a suspect a whole range of options looms in front of them. That range of options is known as the 'continuum of force.'

    The idea behind it is you use the least amount of force necessary to gain compliance to a lawful order. Down at the bottom of the continuum are verbal commands. At the top of the continuum is deadly force.

    In a way those same options are available to civilians for their own self-defense.

    Batons are somewhere in the middle. Their history goes back to the mid-1800's when London police carried truncheons about a foot long. They were called Billy clubs or nightsticks. Back then they were made of wood. Today they may be made of wood, plastic or metal. They can be used to hit, block or bludgeon an assailant.

    A skilled user can apply an arm lock. They can also be used to smash windows or doors.

    For police if a lawful verbal order isn't obeyed physical force may be applied. The next level of force could be a baton. In some jurisdictions the baton could be considered excessive force.

    Today most batons are made out of stainless steel with rubber handles. The telescopic variety comes in four lengths of 15, 17, 21 and 26 inches. At the flip of a wrist the baton extends to its maximum length for use.

    In some jurisdictions batons are illegal. It's easy to see that they can be and often have been used as an offensive weapon. So check with your law enforcement agency before you buy one.

    Many people have a hard time with deadly force. That's why the proliferation of non lethal self-defense products. Telescopic Steel Batons are one of the more popular inexpensive, effective self-defense items.

    If you have ever accidentally hit a bone on a solid object you know what kind of excruciating pain it can be. That is a kind of pain associated with the telescopic steel baton.

    Used appropriately in self-defense, the steel baton can disable an assailant in one or two strikes. Even a petite woman yielding a baton is a dangerous force to be reckoned with.

    So next time you're looking for a self-defense product, consider getting a telescopic steel baton. They aren't for everyone or every circumstance but they certainly have their place in the world of self-defense.
