1. A personal self defense device comprising: a canister, the canister having a valve, a valve stem, and containing fluid;an actuator, the actuator having a through orifice in communication with a nozzle and the valve stem, wherein depression of the actuator causes the release of fluid from the canister;a housing, the housing having an interior to support the canister ends without completely encapsulating the canister, the housing having: a front wall, the front wall having an aperture aligned with the nozzle, wherein fluid leaving the nozzle travels through the aperture;a grip section, the grip section extending the length of the canister and terminating at a bottom section;a top wall, the top wall having a cylindrical bore, the cylindrical bore sized to receive a top flap, the top flap pivotally received with the cylindrical bore and movable in a direction upwards from the housing;the bottom section having a socket, the socket opening orientated perpendicular to the grip section and the bottom section having a means to adjust the diameter of the socket;a rear wall; anda channel, the channel perpendicular to the canister and extending from the front wall to the rear wall;a slide plate, the slide plate moveably received in the channel, the slide plate having: a central aperture, the central aperture sized to allow receipt of the actuator, wherein movement of the slide plate disrupts the receipt of the actuator within the central aperture preventing depression of the actuator; andan incline aperture, the incline aperture shape being angular;a shaft, the shaft located in the grip section parallel to the canister and movable, the shaft having: a top end, the top end having a inclined block, the inclined block sized for receipt within the incline aperture;a bottom end, the bottom end terminating within the socket; andan elastic member, the elastic member mounted on the shaft and biased in a direction parallel to the shaft;a ball, the ball sized for removable receipt in the socket and capable of both rotational and angular movement while retained within the socket, wherein the ball can be removed from the socket by force from multiple angles and directions, the ball having: a upper end, the upper end in frictional communication with the shaft when the ball is received within the socket, wherein receipt of the ball within the socket loads the elastic member moving the shaft and the incline block into the incline aperture aligning the central aperture with the actuator; anda lower end, the lower end having a stud, the stud having a bore for the attachment of a strap. 2. The self defense device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the housing comprises: a camera, the camera in communication with the actuator and capable of taking still or video pictures;a light source, the light source in communication with the actuator;a memory storage device; anda power source, the power source in communication with the camera, the light source, and the memory storage device, wherein depression of the actuator will cause fluid to be released, the light to be illuminated, the camera to be turned on, and the images produced by the camera stored in the memory storage device. 3. The self defense device as in claim 1, wherein the housing comprising: a audible generating device in communication with the power source and the actuator; anda speaker in communication with the audible generating device, the power source, and the actuator, wherein depression of the actuator generates an audible noise. 4. The self defense device as claimed in claim 1 comprising: the housing having a through hole aligned with the slide plate; andthe slide plate having an indicator visible via the through hole, wherein the user will be able to discern whether the slide plate is in alignment with the actuator allowing fluid to be released. 5. The self defense device as claimed in claim 4 comprising: the shaft having a spline,the housing having a plurality of transverse support ribs perpendicular to the canister, the transverse support ribs having a notch sized to movably receive the spline, wherein the transverse support ribs support the spline maintaining alignment of the shaft. 6. The self defense device of claim 5, wherein the means to adjust the socket diameter comprises: a screw with elastic member, wherein tightening or loosening of the screw adjusts the diameter of the socket relative to the diameter of the ball to adjust the amount of force required to insert or remove the ball. 7. The self defense device of claim 6, wherein the housing comprises two halves joined together.
