]]>1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your
body. If you are close enough to use it, use it!
2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans: If a robber
asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it
away from you…. chances are that he is more interested in your
wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse.
RUN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!
3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the
back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving
like crazy. The driver won’t see you, but everybody else will.
4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping,
eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or
making a list, etc.) DON’T DO THIS! This is the perfect opportunity
for a predator to get in on the passenger side. As soon as you get
into your car, lock the doors and leave.
A.) If someone is in your car with a gun DO NOT DRIVE OFF. Instead,
gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. As soon
as the car crashes bail out and run.
5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or
parking garage:
A.) Be aware: look around you. Look in your car, at the passenger
side floor, and in the back seat.
B.) If you are parked next to a large van, enter your car from the
passenger door. Most attackers attack their victims by pulling them
into their vans while the victim tries to get into their car.
C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle,
and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat
nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work,
and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.
6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are
horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is
especially true at NIGHT!)
7. If a predator has a gun and you are not under his control,
ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in
100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ.
RUN, Preferably in a zig -zag pattern.
8. Women often times try to be sympathetic. Don’t. It may put you
in harm’s way. Ted Bundy was a good-looking, well-educated man, who
ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked
with a cane or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle
or with his vehicle, which is when his victims were abducted.
9. If you are home alone at night and hear strange noises, do not
answer/open the door. Instead, call the police and Wait for them to
arrive. There have been recent reports of women hearing a baby’s
cry outside when they are home alone at night, which is suspected
to be linked to recent serial killings.
One more reminder: we are all 100% responsible to our well being
and safety. MAKE SMART THINKING CHOICES.
Be Safe!
]]>When you do leave for an extended trip, protect your most valuable items by placing them in a safe that can not be removed from the premises, or hiding them in diversion safes which are made to look like regular products instead of an actual safe. They will be ignored by burglars and protected your most cherished possessions.
Follow these tips and make home security a priority regardless of what size budget you have.
]]>Pepper spray is comprised of Oleoresin Capsicum, or OC, which is a derivative of cayenne pepper. A shot of pepper spray to the face of an attacker will trigger temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, coughing and choking. Not to mention it causes a lot pain. Because the natural response from someone sprayed with pepper spray is to rub their eyes, it makes the situation worse for them and now their hands are also burning. Don’t worry; pepper spray does not cause any permanent damage.
There are many reasons pepper gel is one of the best Mace security products. Pepper Gel works by suspending the OC in a gel form instead of a liquid stream. This means it can reach a greater distance, sticks to an attacker like glue, is less contaminating, the strength of the pepper is more robust, and it’s non-flammable. Unlike regular pepper spray, the gel holds up better against wind which is one of the reasons it’s so effective. The reason for this is that the thick consistency prevents the wind from blowing it back into your face like normal pepper spray would. Pepper gel also uses a UV dye to make identifying an attacker much easier for law enforcement.
Each container of Mace pepper gel contains over 1.5 oz, or 45g, of pepper spray. This provides you with 7 one second bursts. It also features a flip top safety cap that will prevent the pepper gel from accidentally discharging. It is ideal for auto, home, business, RV’s, or camping use. This truly is one of the most effective Mace security products.
]]>Batons are great non- lethal self defense devices that can be carried in your car, purse, or even on a motorcycle. If you ever find yourself in a situation such as a carjacking, assault, rape, theft or being threatened and outnumbered, the telescopic steel baton can be a great equalizer. When the baton is fully extended it becomes a serious weapon, and one whack to the ribs, arm, leg, or kneecap will cause any attacker to flee the scene.
Telescopic batons have an 8” steel shaft that can extend to 16”, 21”, or 26” with just a flick of the wrist. The handle is usually wrapped in foam, making for an easy grip and they come with a nylon holder. Some of the telescopic steel batons have an optional LED light add-on that you simply screw-on.
So who should use a baton? Basically anyone who finds themselves alone day or night can use this tool. If you find yourself alone in a parking lot or in your car, the steel baton will level the field if you feel threatened. Unfortunately, you have the potential to be assaulted at almost anytime and any place. The telescopic steel baton will give you a boost of confidence for any possible threatening situation.
Batons are great tools for both offensive and defense use. However, it is very important that you learn how to use it properly and practice with it. It would be best to seek professional training to ensure you know how to use it effectively. People make the mistake of not learning how to their self defense item, even if it’s just pepper spray.
]]>More people are starting to realize that the police can’t be everywhere 24/7 or that sometimes help can’t get to you fast enough. They are starting to understand that they are the ones responsible for their own safety along with the safety of their loved ones. So this brings us to an important question that many people are probably asking themselves- where can I buy pepper spray.
If you are the kind of person that needs to see and touch a product before you can comfortable make a purchase, then some research may be need to find the nearest local store that carries pepper spray. Hunting through the yellow pages or asking friends and neighbors where can I buy pepper spray. However, in the state of Colorado where there aren’t any restrictions on pepper spray or other self defense devices, there are only 4 stores and they have a limited selection of pepper sprays. Not much of a selection…
So we’re back to asking ourselves where can I buy pepper spray. Well, the answer is the internet. Shopping online gives you access to the best assortment of pepper sprays at the very reasonable prices. Shipping fees are associated with shopping online, but some merchants offer some sort of deal that includes free or low cost shipping. You’ll also find helpful tips on home security and self defense. Finding an online store is very easy. Simply do a Google search for pepper spray or self defense products and start looking through the results until you find a merchant you are comfortable with.
]]>Before you do anything else, it’s very important to find out if it’s legal to own a tazer gun in your state. The following states do not allow tazers: Illinois, Hawaii, New York, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Jersey and Rhode Island. Next, find a local store that sells self-defense devices, such as federally licensed firearm dealers. You may find it harder in some cities to find a reseller compared to other, so you may be hunting around for awhile.
Generally when you purchase a tazer gun in a store, they will perform a background check on site and it could take up to ten minutes. If you pass, Tazer Inc. will supply you with an activation code for your device and walk you through the activation process. In the event that the store doesn’t perform background checks, Tazer Inc. will do the background check for you as long as you’re purchasing a Tazer brand item.
The second way to purchase a tazer gun is by ordering one online. This is one of the easiest and most convenient options for many people. There are several online stores that sell self-defense items and it’s important to find one that is reputable. Here are a few things to consider when ordering anything online. Make sure you review the store’s policies and pay close attention to their return policy. May stores charge a restocking fee or won’t allow certain items to be returned. It is also important to confirm they use SSL encryption, an industry standard for safe e-commerce transactions. After you’ve placed your order and received the tazer, you will still need to proceed with a background check before you can activate the device. Again, this can be done through Tazer Inc.
]]>The ASP tactical baton is considered a non-lethal weapon, but it does have the potential to be lethal. These batons are commonly used by law enforcement and are one of their most popular pieces of equipment. Their collapsible design makes it easy for them to fit on a police duty belt and when they are expanded, the baton remains locked for as long as the user requires.
These batons are offered in an assortment of lengths and finishes. The 26″ batons are the most popular and prefered by law enforcement officers, but they are also available in 16”, 21” and 31”. The ASP tactical baton comes in Black chrome, Airweight, Federal, Chrome, Electroless, and Gold; black chrome is the standard issued finish for most police departments. The batons are made out of high carbon steel and sections are coated with Zinc and anodized black chrome to prevent deterioration.
If you are carrying an ASP tactical baton, then you need to have the right accessories to go with it. The ASP SideBreak case provides a solution the problem associated with conventional baton carriers. It’s constructed out of the finest firearms polymer and is not easily ruined or show any sign of wear. It comes in leather grain, high luster, basketweave or ballistic weave to match other police equipment. There is also the average nylon case that can easily be turned at any angle allowing for the best tactical access.
Like any self defense item, it is important to practice using the ASP tactical baton and to learn how to use it properly. If training dolls are accessible or real hand to hand combat training is arranged, ASP batons offer a training baton. The training baton has the same concept as a regular ASP baton, but is crafted from a softer material which decreases the possibility of injury.
]]>One of the most important reasons pepper spray is so well-liked, is that it’s non-lethal. No matter what brand, strength or form of pepper spray you use, you’ll never have to worry about it killing someone. The same can’t be said for sharp edged weapons or firearms. When it comes to knives or guns, people can be seriously wounded and some injuries can be fatal. This is why special permits are typically required when anyone carries these types of weapons and some states don’t allow carrying them at all.
Another reason pepper spray is an ideal choice, it’s easy to purchase. You can obtain the best pepper spray products online or for those who prefer shopping in person, there are stores out there that carry personal security devices. Pepper spray normally comes in small, medium and large containers. The choice is up to you on which is the best pepper spray size to carry. Most people prefer something small and easy to conceal, so that it’s easy to carry it at all times. Another important factor is the strength. This is what makes it such a powerful and effective tool against attackers. When you spray an attacker in the face, they become temporarily blinded and experience difficulty breathing.

Try a website such as planetmace.com for a wide variety of products and helpful information. Prices usually range from ten dollars and up, this of course depends on the pepper spray style you prefer.

]]>The problem with some pepper sprays is they are not convenient to carry and can accidentally disperse in your pocket or purse. Also, a number of pepper spray dispensers are large and none refillable, which produces a lot of waste. Fortunately there’s Spitfire pepper spray! It’s light, discreet, and suitable to carry on your key ring at all times. Spitfire pepper spray has an inner safety mechanism to stop any accidental discharges and it’s also refillable.
Spitfire pepper sprays are designed for easy use and can be fired in any direction or angle. To activate, simply press your thumb on the safety trigger and a potent mist is quickly dispersed.
