Self Defense Sprays do what their meant to do

In the world of Self Defense Devices  – Self Defense Sprays have become the most popular and I can see why!  Over the last couple of years self defense spray purchases climbed in record numbers as the #1 in self protection. Their performance speaks for itself, however aim can be crucial, you must spray your attacker directly to the face area. Word of caution; wind conditions may affect the outcome of your aim as the pepper spray can spray back into your face too.


Self defense sprays have been around for many years.   Pepper sprays overall effectiveness depends on the Scoville Heat Units. Self Defense Sprays should be at 2 million SHU in order for them to properly work on your attacker.  Pay attention to that when purchasing.
   


Pepper Sprays Oleoresin Capsicum will cause eye tearing profusely, possible temporary blindness, massive coughing and difficulty breathing. Self Defense Sprays will drop the attacker and cause a lot of pain. Self Defense Sprays are extremely reliable in its affects on people who may be using drugs or alcohol while other methods of self defense weapons will not.  Self Defense Sprays come in different strengths, usually between 10% and 18%. This will definitely effect someone who has been sprayed to feel the painful affects and will last up to 45 minutes with aftermath lasting up to 2 hours.  Don't hang around with the attacker after using your pepper spray. Get the job done and get out of there promptly.

The Oleoresin Capsicum is derived from oil and doesn’t mix very well with water.  Do not touch the affected area with your hands and then touch yourself elsewhere you will only spread its affects.  If do spread it to other parts of the body you will feel burn sensations and could lead to blisters, this can last for quite some time.

Self Defense Sprays come in a large variety of styles, from what looks like an ordinary pen to a compact lipstick you can easily carry in a pocket or purse, or as a one pound canister for your home. Many don't think about purchasing self defense spray for their home, you might want to as the one pound canister's can certainly help in a home invasion.  Self Defense Sprays have a shelf life of approximately 3 to 4 years. Checking your pepper spray on a regular basis for leaks and that it hasn't expired as it may lose potency over time.

Pepper Sprays, TASER, Stun Guns

Are any self defense weapons better than the other? Pepper sprays, stun guns, TASER®, they all work great with preventing an attack. There is no quick response to this query. All self defense weapons have definite advantages and some disadvantages.


Pepper spray is a highly under rated self defense tool. It will immediately stop an assailant however it does have some restrictions. Pepper spray will cause inflammation of the eyes, throat, nose and the lungs. The attacker will experience a large amount of pain due to this which will allow you time to get to safety.



Most all pepper sprays out there today due spray a distance between eight to twenty feet which allows for distance between you and your attacker. The down side of using pepper spray is you have to be able to spray your potential attacker directly in the face area for maximum effectiveness. With that being said it is imperative you pay close attention to the direction of the wind while using pepper spray. It can potentially spray back at you and not hit your attacker. One must also be very cautious to the surroundings as if you are attacked from behind utilizing pepper spray would be very difficult.



Stun guns are an outstanding choice in a self-defense weapon. The electrical voltage will play havoc on the muscle function of your assailant. Utilizing a stun gun will hamper an individual’s neurological impulses which cause your attacker to have no control of his/her muscle function. Stun guns do cause some pain, however it’s the inability of muscle control that will take your attacker down and allow you to safety. One can use a stun gun anywhere on someone’s body so in this respect it would be much easier if someone should attack you from the rear. The disadvantage of using a stun gun is that you will have to have complete contact you’re your attacker in order to use the device.


The TASER® can stop a threat up to 15 feet away (4.5 meters), allowing you a safe distance to protect yourself and family from an attacker. If a close quarter defense is warranted, the TASER® doubles as a contact stun device to repel someone as a powerful and unexpected backup capability.

A TASER® can be conveniently discharged to work anywhere on the body, unlike other conventional weapons with a specified target area. This makes the TASER® more effective self-defense option by making it easier to stop a threat under an already stressful situation.

TASER® technology provides one of the only less-lethal means of stopping an attacker dead in his tracks, even if under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

No matter which self defense weapon you should choose, remember to make sure you ALWAYS have it with you and easy accessible. If you don’t carry it, it won’t help you!

Nine Tips For Women In Emergency Situations

In daylight hours, refresh yourself of these things to do in an emergency situation...
These great tips were written by a police officer

Everyone should take 5 minutes to read this. It may save your life or a loved one's life!


This is for you, and for you to share with your wife, your children, everyone you know.  After reading these 9 crucial tips, give them to someone you care about.  It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do:   The elbow is the strongest point on your body.  If you are close enough to use it, do!

2.  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 LIKE MAD 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.  This has saved lives.

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!)  The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go.  AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE..  If someone is in the car with a gun to your head

DO NOT DRIVE OFF,


Repeat:  DO NOT DRIVE OFF!

Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car.  Your Air Bag will save you.  If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it.  As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.  It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage:

A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door.  Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

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.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

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 the 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. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:  STOP  It may get you raped, or killed.
Ted Bundy, the serial killer, 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 he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point:  Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird.. The police told her  Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.. The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.  The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.  He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby.. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

10. Water scam!  If you wake up in the middle of the night to hear all your taps outside running or what you think is a burst pipe, DO NOT GO OUT TO INVESTIGATE! These people turn on all your outside taps full ball so that you will go out to investigate and then attack.  Stay alert, keep safe, and look out for your neighbours!  These tips should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby Theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana.

Purchase your self defense weapon today. 

On the Lighter Side!

A WISE OR CLEVER OBSERVATION OR A GENERAL TRUT



1. The nicest thing about the future is that it always starts tomorrow.
2. Money will buy a fine dog, but only kindness will make him wag his tail.
3. If you don't have a sense of humor, you probably don't have any sense at all.
4. Seat belts are not as confining as wheelchairs.
5. A good time to keep your mouth shut is when you're in deep water.
6. How come it takes so little time for a child who is afraid of the dark to become a teenager who wants to   stay out all night?
7. Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
8. Why is it that at class reunions you feel younger than everyone else looks?
9. Scratch a cat and you will have a permanent job.
10. No one has more driving ambition than the boy who wants to buy a car.
11. There are no new sins; the old ones just get more publicity.
12. There are worse things than getting a call for a wrong number at 4 AM. It could be a right number
13. No one ever says 'It's only a game.' when their team is winning.
14. I've reached the age where the happy hour is a nap.
15. Be careful reading the fine print. There's no way you're going to like it.
16. The trouble with bucket seats is that not everybody has the same size bucket.
17. Do you realize that in about 40 years, we'll have thousands of old ladies running around with tattoos? (rap music will be the Golden Oldies!)
18. Money can't buy happiness -- but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Corvette than in a Yugo.
19. After 50, if you don't wake up aching in every joint, you are probably dead!
20. Always be yourself because the people that matter don't mind, and the ones who do mind, don't matter!

Stun Guns - Try It Out and See for Yourself!

A man my husband works with wanted to purchase a stun gun for his wife.  So my husband came home and told me about this man and I provided him with a catalog to look through so he can make a good choice in stun guns.

A few days go by and John decided to buy one of our cell phone stun guns The Pretender, an excellent choice in a stun gun.  At 4.5 million volts,  12 LED lighting and to prevent accidental discharge, two levels of safety have been built-in and it also comes in black or pink!
This Pretender Cell phone stun gun is nothing to joke about!   
 
In a few days John received his stun gun and gave it to his wife.  She was very happy that her husband had purchased the stun gun and the fact that she now has a self defense weapon in her possession.  She couldn't be more delighted.

THE PRETENDER STUN GUN! 
 4.5 Million Volts of Power

So with her new found weaponry on hand, Sue decided to bring it to work to show all the girls!  Her co-worker's were very skeptical at the operation and performance of the stun guns.   I guess one would be if they have never experienced the jolts received from being stunned or been in the company of others getting zapped!  So in order to find out how well these devices work one of the girls decided it would be a great idea if they all took turns in stunning each other, so off to a room they went and did just that!  They each took a turn getting zapped with the stun gun!

One by one they stunned each other!  Well I don't know if I would be as brave as these women were, however I can assure you the next thing I know I am processing orders for The Pretender stun guns for all of these same women!

So if you are skeptical and you know someone who may have stun guns - try it, get zapped!  I'm sure if you did you would purchase one too!

All Women Should Know This!

DIALING 112 FROM YOUR CELL PHONE CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Some of you may know about the red light on cars, but not the 112.


It was about 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon, and Lauren was driving to visit a friend.  An UNMARKED police car pulled up behind her and put his lights on.  Lauren's parents have always told her never to pull over for an unmarked car on the side of the road, but rather to wait until they get to a gas station, etc.

Lauren had actually listened to her parent’s advice, and promptly called 112 on her cell phone to tell the police dispatcher that she would not pull over right away.  She proceeded to tell the dispatcher that there was an unmarked police car with a flashing red light on his rooftop behind her. 

The dispatcher checked to see if there were police cars where she was and there weren't, and he told her to keep driving, remain calm and that he had back up already on the way.

Ten minutes later 4 cop cars surrounded her and the unmarked car behind her.  One policeman went to her side and the others surrounded the car behind.  They pulled the guy from the car and tackled him to the ground.  The man was a convicted rapist and wanted for other crimes.

I never knew about the 112 Cell Phone Feature, but especially for a woman alone in a car, you should not pull over for an unmarked car.  Apparently police have to respect your right to keep going to a safe place.

*Speaking to a service representative at Bell Mobility confirmed that 112 was a direct link to State Trooper info. So, now it's your turn to let your friends know about 112.

EVERY WOMAN SHOULD HAVE 112 PROGRAMMED INTO YOUR CELL PHONE IN CASE YOU SHOULD EVER BE IN THIS TYPE OF SITUATION.

Key Questions to Ask Before Buying Pepper Spray

Michael Saunders brings up alot of great questions you should ask yourself prior to purchasing
Pepper Spray!

Key Questions to Ask Before Buying Pepper Spray

By Michael B Saunders


When searching for the best methods of self-defense, pepper spray always seems to be at the top of the list. Sometimes called OC spray, due to its active ingredient being oleoresin capsicum, it is an effective non-lethal self-defense tool for protecting oneself in this dangerous world that we live in.
When used effectively, OC spray can disable an attacker for 20-45 minutes and allow enough time for the victim to flee the scene and call police. In addition, many brands have UV dye in their formulas, which aids in identifying the assailant when they are apprehended by law enforcement.
Before buying OC spray, it is critical to perform adequate research on the topic to ensure that the product you choose is the most effective for your specific situation. We've listed several questions that are often asked regarding OC Spray.

Key Questions to Ask Before Buying Pepper Spray
1. How do I determine the overall effectiveness of pepper spray? Should I look for the highest OC percentage or should I focus on the Scoville Unit Heat (SHU) Rating?

2. What is the best OC spray for my daughter who is attending college? Are there any OC sprays that serve this market specifically?

3. Is pepper spray legal in all states? Are there specific laws or restrictions in terms of the size or strength?

4. Are there specific brands such as Fox Labs or SABRE RED that cater to specific consumer or law enforcement markets?

5. Should I buy a keychain or 2,3 or 4 ounce canister?

6. Are there specific antidotes available on the market if I accidentally spray myself or someone else?

7. Does standard OC spray work on dogs as well or should I look for specific dog pepper spray?

When performing research on which OC spray to buy, one of the best resources are informational websites such as blogs which dive deeply into specific issues as well as get reader feedback. Understanding these issues and see how they relate to your specific concerns is often the best method to determine which OC spray to choose and more importantly, which one not to choose. Feedback from people in your specific situation can provide enhanced piece of mind and can make the buying process much easier. More importantly, it can enable you to make the right purchase which can effectively protect you in the event you need to discharge your pepper spray - whether it is a keychain or 2, 3 or 4 ounce canister.

Summary
In summary, the decision to buy pepper spray is an important one and should not be taken lightly. You should gather as much information as possible from the market in order to make the best purchasing decision. A key piece of this information puzzle should be gathering information and researching informational sites such as pepper spray blogs, which are invaluable as they cater to like-minded individuals who pose critical questions like the ones above in order to make the best possible OC spray decision.
The decision is not easy, but with the right help, you will get there.

Pepper Sprays - What About Them

Pepper spray is for the most part highly used method of less lethal self defense today! It is more commonly known as OC pepper spray. Pepper spray has grown in popularity over the last few years and is one of the top used self defense weapons on the market today.


Self Defense Spray is derived from Oleoresin Capsicum (OC), a compound found in hot pepper plants. The effectiveness or hotness of pepper spray is rated by the Scoville Heat Units (SHU) scale. Wilbur Scoville, an American chemist developed the scale in 1912 to appraise the hotness or tang of an assortment of peppers. The number of SHU assigned to a particular pepper indicates the amount of capsaicin that is present. For instance a bell pepper is rated at 0 SHU since it has no capsaicin, but Jalapeno pepper is rated at 5000 and a Habanera pepper is 250,000-300,000 SHU for potency. In order for pepper spray to be effective against an attacker it will need a minimum rating of 2 million SHU. There is pepper sprays that are much higher rated at 5 Million.

Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) pepper spray is an inflammatory, so if sprayed into the face of an attacker, the eyes will instantly close, temporary blindness may occur, difficulty breathing, runny nose and severe coughing that will drop the attacker. Pepper spray is very effective on criminals who may also be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or in a psychotic episode mode. The duration of pepper spray effects will depend on the strength of the pepper spray and will last up to 45 minutes with the after affects hanging in there for hours. Let’s just say your attacker won’t be a happy camper! A full recovery will be made once all the effects have worn off with no long term harm.

OC Pepper spray is oil based so water will not take it off your body. Eye tearing is the best way to minimize the effects of pepper spray it will help flush it out. Do not touch the affected areas as this can spread to other parts of the body and cause irritations. Rubbing oils or creams onto the affected areas will trap the capsaicin in the skin pores which will cause severe burning and possibly blistering.

Pepper spray comes in a variety of sizes, strengths and styles all of which can be easily carried on you person. Pepper spray can also be bought disguised as ordinary items such as everyday objects, lipstick, pens! It is also recommended that you pay attention to the expiration date as it will expire and loose its potency. Depending on the brand it usually expires in three to four years.

Pepper spray is regarded as the best Self Defense Weapon on the market and shouldn’t be disregarded to how it can affect a potential attacker. Pepper spray will do the job for you to allow you to get to safety. I do caution though, when spraying make sure you hit the face directly and watch the wind direction as it can spray back at you instead.

Stun Guns or Taser - Which Is Right For You

       


Men or women need to ensure their personal safety in the event of an attack. Individuals should provide themselves with a form of preparation if someone should try to harm you. Because of this it’s strongly advised that you take the time to make sure you are purchasing the right self defense weapon. Everyone is different and have distinctive tastes so what device might be right for you may not be right for the next person.
For many carrying a gun is not an option but feel that pepper spray may not be enough you might want to check into purchasing a stun gun or TASER.
Stun guns and TASER guns are not one in the same. With a stun gun you will be able to take down your assailant by utilizing a less-lethal short burst of high voltage shock. The stun gun is producing a charge of electricity to your attacker which will enable them long enough for you to get to safety or the authorities. This electrical charge confuses the attacker's nervous system.

Stun guns are hand held and run on batteries. Some stun guns today are rechargeable and plug in like your cell phone. Stun guns can charge through heavy clothing and if you should be touched while using the stun gun you will not feel the shock. The disadvantage of stun guns is you will need to be in close contact with your attacker in order to discharge the gun.
The TASER gun is made with the same technology as a stun gun and your attacker will react somewhat the same as being stunned with a stun gun. With the TASER you do not have to be in close contact with your potential attacker. The TASER gun utilizes cartridges which propels the barb wires that attach to your attacker and discharges electrodes as a stun gun. This will immediately take your attacker down.
The TASER presents advantages of not having to be within 15 feet of your attacker unlike a standard stun gun. The TASER can also be used as a backup stun device for that added extra zap.
These devices are both great forms of self defense weapons. What’s the difference between the two? Stun guns require you having close contact with your attacker. Stun guns are more affordable, less up keep and depending on which model you choose, smaller in the hand.
The TASER allows for up to 15 feet distance, more expensive and up keep is more costly as you need to purchase cartridges and magazines.

They are both great devices for self defense weapons. It just depends on which you would prefer and affordability. Make sure you check with your local and state laws prior to purchasing any less lethal weapon.

Stun Guns are a Great Choice of Weaponry



Every sensible individual must take into account measures for their personal security. As defense is a major concern, the diversity of self defense weapons and usage available has grown considerably. Efforts in protecting oneself is admirable, some options are more valuable. Stun guns very dependable, uncomplicated and make for a safe self defense weapon.



Unless you have been in a bad circumstance where you had to defend yourself, it’s hard to determine how you will react. Stun Guns ease of use will ensure you your safety if you are in need of protecting yourself under a stressful state or situation. Stun guns are very simple as they only need a small amount of trigger pressure and very little contact with your assailant. Due to the ease of use with stun guns there are no personal strength requirements for you.


There isn’t any need to guess with stun guns, their effortlessness with dependability anytime you might have to use it. Stun guns send voltage of electricity through the assailant’s body that impedes their muscles. The attacker will then become immobile and allows you to get away to safety. This self defense device has the preferred effect in spite of the assailant’s size and can be stunned on any portion to the body.

Stun guns have many benefits in that they are a fundamental self defense weapon but will not cause any long lasting harm. The ease of use and dependability coupled with safety features to make sure you accidentally activate.

Stun guns also come in different styles to choose from as lipsticks, flashlights and cell phones and much more. Make sure you check with your local and state laws prior to purchasing a stun gun or any other self defense weapon in your state.

If you are approached by an attacker your first option should be to try and get away from the situation.  If you are unable to escape you will need to take control and stand your ground against the attacker.  It's best to not use methods as a handgun or knife, these items can be taken from you and used against you with deadly results.  However there are those out there that choose these types of weapons and that's their choice of weaponry.  Utilizing a less lethal weapon as pepper spray, stun guns or martial arts training is highly recommended.

Martial arts training is an effective defense however it takes many years of training to perfect and isn't the defense method for many.  There are those who simply do not want this type of training or aren't physically capable. 

Self defense sprays allow you a safe distance between you and the attacker. Depending on which style you choose you can get up to 25 feet of distance, however most pepper sprays range from 8 to 12 feet.  Beware, if the attacker is wearing some sort of face garment or other covering there's a good chance that spraying him or her with pepper spray will not affect them.  

Utilizing stun guns may be a better choice for you, however try to stun the attacker to the upper hip or shoulder area for better results.  Using a stun gun will deliver shock to your assailant and incapacitate him or her.  The longer you can hold the stun gun on the attacker the better results you will have.  Keep in mind that using stun guns do require close encounter with the attacker, however in many situations you will be in this situation anyway.

If you are someone who doesn't want any contact with the attacker if at all possible, then the Taser gun is the right weapon of choice.  This tool also serves as a back-up stun device if needed.  The Taser gun will give you up to 15 feet of distance.
