Skip the Guessing and Start With What Already Works
I’ve been doing gun shows and trade shows since before most people selling online today were born. The question I get more than any other from new dealers is simple: what do I actually buy to start? They don’t want a catalog — they want someone who’s been on the floor to tell them what moves. That’s exactly what this package is. It’s not a random assortment. Every product and quantity in here was chosen based on what we’ve seen sell consistently at gun shows, flea markets, and trade shows across the country.
The retail math is straightforward. You’re putting in $514.66. The suggested retail on this inventory is $1,389.85. That’s not a guarantee — your actual numbers depend on your pricing, your market, and how you run your table. But the margin is built in. Your job is to show up, set up, and talk to people.
Who This Package Is For
This is for someone who’s ready to start and wants to do it right the first time. Maybe you’ve been to a few shows as a customer and noticed the self-defense tables always seem busy. Maybe you’ve been selling other products and want to add something with better margins. Either way, you’re not sure exactly what to order, and you don’t want to spend the next three weekends at a show figuring out through trial and error which products people actually buy.
It also works well for someone who’s already doing shows with a different product category and wants to add a self-defense component to their table. The price points in this package — from $4.95 credit card knives to $29.95 stun batons — give you something to offer every type of customer who stops to look.
First-time dealers at flea markets and swap meets will find the product mix particularly useful. The items are recognizable, the price points feel accessible to impulse buyers, and nothing in the package requires explanation to sell. People know what pepper spray and stun guns are — you’re just making them available at the right time and place.
Is This the Right Choice for You?
Choose this package if you want:
- A done-for-you starting inventory with no product selection guesswork
- A tested mix of price points and product types that work at live events
- Strong wholesale margins with a combined retail value near $1,400
- Free shipping and a single order to get everything you need to start
Consider something else if you need:
- A single product type — this package is a broad-mix starter, not a category-specific deep stock
- Higher quantities of specific items — individual wholesale orders may serve you better once you know your best sellers
What’s Inside and Why It Works
The package covers five product categories: stun guns, pepper sprays, personal alarms, diversion safes, and edged/impact tools. Stun guns make up the core — Runt, Trigger, MultiGuard, Talon, Bad Ass Baton, Lipstick, and Stun Pen models in multiple colors. Color selection matters at live events. Women shopping for personal protection often have preferences about what they’ll actually carry. Having black, pink, and purple in stock means you’re not losing sales because you only have one option.
The Wildfire Halo pepper spray assortment comes with a counter display, which means one less thing to source before your first show. Twelve units across five colors, display included — set it on the table and it sells itself. Diversion safes — book safe, coffee can, cola can, wall socket — are reliable conversation starters. People who’ve never heard of them stop and pick them up. That curiosity converts to sales more often than you’d expect.
Personal alarms, door and glass break alarms, tactical pens, and steel batons round out the table. These fill the gaps for customers who aren’t comfortable with stun guns or pepper spray but still want something. Every category is covered at a price point that makes sense for a show environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any special licenses to sell these products at a gun show or flea market?
Requirements vary by state and sometimes by county or municipality. Most self-defense products — stun guns, pepper spray, personal alarms, and similar items — don’t require a federal license to sell. However, some states have restrictions on specific products, and individual show promoters may have their own rules about what can be sold at their events. We recommend checking your state’s regulations on the products you plan to carry and contacting the show promoter before your first event to confirm what’s permitted. Safety Technology has been helping dealers navigate this for nearly 40 years and can answer specific questions.
How much table space do I need to display 74 pieces effectively?
A standard 8-foot table handles this inventory comfortably with room to spare. The Wildfire Halo counter display takes up a small footprint and does its own work. Stun guns and pepper sprays can be displayed on peg hooks or laid flat in rows. Many new dealers start with one 8-foot table and find it sufficient. As you identify your best sellers and start reordering, you’ll naturally figure out where you need more depth — and a second table becomes worth considering.
What are the best-selling items in this package for first-time sellers?
Based on consistent show experience, the Runt stun guns, Wildfire Halo pepper sprays, and personal alarms move reliably at nearly every type of event. The Wildfire display helps because customers pick it up and look at it without needing to ask. The credit card knives and diversion safes are strong impulse purchases — low price point, high curiosity factor. The Bad Ass stun baton tends to sell as a higher-ticket item to customers who want something more substantial. Your specific results will depend on your audience and how you engage customers.
Can I reorder individual products once I know what’s selling best?
Yes — that’s exactly how most successful dealers operate. This package gets you started with a tested mix. Once you’ve done a few shows and identified your top sellers, you order those in depth and reduce or eliminate the slower movers. Safety Technology is a wholesale supplier, so reordering individual SKUs is straightforward. Most dealers find they can identify their core sellers within two or three events and build their inventory strategy from there.
