One of the best self defense devices you unknowingly carry on a daily basis is your car keys. Most vehicles today come equipped with a keypad which locks and unlocks your car and also has an alarm on it. If you have nothing else at your bedside this is the item to keep near you while you sleep.
By pressing the panic button on your car keypad you can sound the alarm on your car therefore scaring off someone who may be trying to enter your home. The alarm should continue to sound until you turn it off or the vehicle battery dies.
This is a great self defense device that many do not think of using and can help deter a possible threat to your home.
This tip was given by a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you are ready for a good nights sleep bring your key chain to bed.
If you are skeptical test it. It should sound from anywhere inside your home and will keep sounding until you shut it off or the battery dies. It performs while your car is parked in your driveway or garage. When the alarm sounds the criminal most likely will leave the scene as they surely don't want to be caught.
Your neighbors will most likely hear the alarm and checking at their window checking to see what's going on. The criminal won't want any attention. Carrying your keys in your hand while walking to and from your vehicle can also provide you the added self protection if needed.
So all in all if you aren't one who wants to purchase self defense devices at least use your keys as a tool to defend yourself if you should be a potential target.
