Sell Self-Defense Products and Make Real Money — Any Way You Want
I started Safety Technology in 1986 selling at gun shows on weekends. Nearly four decades later, we supply thousands of independent sellers across the country. Some sell at flea markets. Some run routes of stores. Some do home parties, seminars, Amazon, eBay, or straight mail order. There’s no one right way — and that’s exactly the point. No minimums. No drop ship fees. Same-day shipping. You sell, we ship.

Browse the Wholesale Catalog
The top-selling category in self-defense retail. 24 models from compact keychain sizes to heavy-duty batons — 40–66% dealer margins across the line.
Pepper Shot, Wildfire, Mace, pepper guns, and display units. The widest buyer demographic in the catalog and the easiest impulse purchase at any event.
Hidden cameras, dummy cameras, and 39 diversion safes. No legal restrictions in any state — consistent sellers online, in stores, and at shows.
Personal alarms, keychains, and door/window alarms. 48–77% dealer margins, no permits required anywhere, and strong gift-market demand year-round.
Knives, self-defense keychains, and telescopic batons. Strong performers at gun shows and flea markets with novelty appeal that drives impulse purchases.
10 Ways Our Dealers Are Making Money
One thing I’ve learned in 40 years of this business: the dealers who do best are the ones who find the channel that fits their life — and work it hard. Here are ten ways our dealers are making real money right now.
Flea Markets, Swap Meets & Gun Shows
Set up a table on a Saturday and sell face to face. Our dealers report $300 to $3,000 a day at local events — and with our no-minimum ordering, you only buy what you need.
Home Party Plan
Just like Tupperware, but with products people actually need. Carolyn Waters, an R.N. in Dayton, wrote over $2,400 in orders at her first home party — and made more that month than from her nursing job.
Safety Seminars
Bring a 60-minute personal safety presentation to companies, civic groups, or schools. One Nevada dealer sold 85 pepper spray and alarm kits on the spot — over $1,500 in an hour.
Business to Business
One sale to the right business can put hundreds in your pocket. Our dealers have sold to Hilton, Marriott, Exxon Mobil, the Mississippi Farm Bureau, and a California university — without a storefront.
Fundraising
Schools, churches, and civic groups need to raise money. One dealer raised $6,245 selling personal alarms for her church’s new roof — gave them $3,000 and kept $645 for herself.
Mail Order & Local Advertising
Four small ads in local publications brought one retired Chicago cop over $9,000 in profit last year — barely working at it, by his own account.
Set Up Your Own Dealers
Run a small ad and build your own network. One retired dealer in Topeka set up multiple sub-dealers — people selling at flea markets, realtors buying pepper spray as giveaways, couples doing home parties.
Your Own Website
Steve Thibeault started TBO-Tech in a spare bedroom. Today it operates out of 2,200 square feet with a full-time employee — and has done nearly $3,000,000 in online sales. We can build you a website.
Route of Stores
Place pepper spray displays in gun stores, pawn shops, hardware stores, and salons. One anonymous dealer runs 13 stores — averages $3,250 a month in sales with reorders coming in automatically.
Amazon & eBay
Hundreds of our dealers sell on the major online marketplaces. Good for both sales and lead generation — customers who find you on Amazon often come back to buy direct.

Three Steps to Getting Started
Step 1 — Apply
Fill out the free dealer application at the link below. In most states, all you need is a resale certificate. No business? You can still qualify with two of the following: business registration, business license, or a W9/EIN. There’s a $35 setup fee if you’re starting from scratch.
Step 2 — Order
Once approved, you’ll see our wholesale prices. Order anything you want, in any quantity — there’s no minimum. We process and ship the same day.
Step 3 — Sell
Sell any way you want. Keep the product yourself and ship it, or let us drop ship directly to your customers. We ship blind — your name, not ours, on the package. No drop ship fee.
DEALER REVIEWS
Pepper Spray Displays / Route of Stores
“I just got my shipment with some of the pepper spray displays and they are awesome. I especially like the fact that you have the warehouse people put them together and load them up, so when they pull out of the carton, they are ready to go right on the shelf or counter. That is a classy move.”
— Joe, Celebration, FL
Selling at Gun Shows
“I sell at gun shows and have been a satisfied distributor for Safety Technology for the past ten years. I place a high regard on customer service. The companies that I do business with must be efficient and courteous. Safety Technology has given me excellent customer service when I place orders on a weekly basis. The representatives are always friendly and knowledgeable. They are quick to respond to difficulties. Safety Technology offers unique, competitive products, and their stun guns have increased my business by up to 25%.”
— Howard Whitman – Winchester, CA
Online / Website
“Setting up an online business through Safety Technology was the best decision we ever made. Beginning as a small start-up hoping to make some extra money, our business very quickly began paying for all our bills.”
— Steve Thibeault, TBOTech.com, Bonita Springs, FL
Why Safety Technology — and Why It Works
I’ve been doing this since 1986. Started at weekend gun shows, built it into a full wholesale operation, and spent nearly four decades helping people find a way to make money that fits their life. We carry stun guns, pepper spray, hidden cameras, diversion safes, personal alarms, and more. Every product ships same day. There’s no minimum order and no drop ship fee — ever. We’ve been doing this longer than most of our dealers have been adults. If you’re looking for a business with low startup cost, no inventory risk, and products that sell themselves — I’d like to talk to you.
— Michael Gravette, Founder
