Abstract

A self-defense device with a body, a gun barrel, a trigger assembly, at least one forward light, and a switch is disclosed. The body is held by a human hand. The gun barrel can be positioned in the body and include an entry port and an exit port. The trigger assembly includes a trigger and a firing pin. The firing pin is moveable to engage a round in the barrel. The light can be exposed on an outer surface of the body. The light is positioned such that light emitted by the light projects forward, along the axis of the barrel. The switch can selectively activate and deactivate the light. The switch and the trigger are positioned close to one another so as to be concurrently engageable by a single human hand.
