Car Keys at Beside Act as an Alarm!

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.

Purchasing Self Defense Products

Both men and women should be looking to protect themselves by using self defense products.  There are many ways to defend against an attacker.  There are many different self defense products on the market today your choices are endless.  Devices as stun guns, pepper sprays, taser guns and personal alarms are all useful in your personal protection.  These wonder devices come in many styles, sizes, colors, voltage levels and price ranges.  You do not have to spend a fortune to get the proper protection.

Self defense products do not have a mind of their own and will only operate to their potential if the person controlling it is using it correctly.  Self defense products are great protection tools but there are things you should take into consideration when utilizing them.

• Keep in mind that you aren't routinely safe because you are carrying self defense products.  do not underestimate the capability of an attacker because you have a weapon with you.
• You must have confidence in yourself and how your self defense products work.  You should practice with your device prior to taking it out with you.  Knowing your weapon and how to use it properly is a key component in your defense.
• Never threaten an attacker with your self defense weapon, if you do you better be prepared to use it.
• Self defense products can't help you if you don't carry them.  You should always have it readily available at any give time.
• Consider your personal defense needs prior to purchasing self defense products.  You should only carry one at a time as you don't want to have to decide which to choose when you are in an attack situation.  This will only take time and that you won't have.  Attacks only take a matter of seconds so use your time wisely.

Becoming more aware of your Surroundings

Being aware that you could potentially be attacked is part of creating your personal security awareness.  It is greater than accepting the fact that you need to take a pro-active action.   In creating your personal security acceptance you need to develop the knowledge and consideration about your environment.  It is an insight of when and how you will be prepared to defend yourself, meaning whether you choose a self defense spray, stun guns, TASER or martial arts moves.
   
Focus is the main awareness factor.  Focusing is a portion of our daily routines; we tend to do this on whatever is in the moment.  In creating personal security awareness we need to learn when we should pay closer attention to a possible situation.  The issue at hand is we live in an increasingly hazardous atmosphere, which provides more susceptibility to criminal attacks on the street. 
 
In development on personal security awareness we need to pay closer attention and mind focus on our personal security when we may be susceptible to vulnerability.  This is common when we are out doing things on our own, jogging, shopping, walking.  In these situations we are isolated from those around us.  By training you to contemplate your security when alone and exude more awareness of your surroundings.  Is there a threat nearby? 
 
An example of this is while walking to your vehicle after a day of shopping you should be focusing on what are around you not your packages, fumbling for your keys or talking on the phone.  Is there a potential threat?  Is anyone behind you? Stay focused turn and look.  Are people near your car?  All these questions are potential risks to you that you should be conscious of.

Many of us have been accustomed to stay to yourself, mind your business.  We tend to not make eye contact with others it’s not polite to stare.  This is exactly what you should be doing.  Check all around you, look directly at others, notice the clothing they are wearing, are they walking in the same direction as you, are there more than one, and are you a possible target? 


Many attacks are brought on by surprise to the victims.  This is partly due to not having security awareness about your surroundings.  The victims of these horrible crimes will usually say that the criminal came out of nowhere, well not true, they came from somewhere.  You just weren’t being aware of your surroundings.  This is crucial in self protection.  Train your mind on providing yourself personal security awareness!  

 This can mean the difference in staying safe or becoming someone’s next victim.

Are you at risk of being stalked?

Many individuals have become amongst the three million who are being stalked.  Do you have to be famous in order for this to happen to you?  Absolutely not.  Countless people who are both men and women have filed for restraining orders in the US alone.  This was reported in 2006 which in these times I’m sure that number has drastically increased.
 

Being a woman, should you have concerns?  Don’t confuse stalking with admiration, don’t allow yourself to fall into the flattered stage as it truly can be a stalker situation.  What could start out as a harmless flirtation can hopelessly turn into you becoming a rape victim or even worse a murdered victim?

 

Becoming familiar with certain signs of a stalker can in fact save your life.  The following are signs of a potential stalker.

It seems like no matter where you are you keep bumping into the same person.  While it may not need immediate attention if you are running into the same person while at the gym it may be a serious concern if you find that same person in a variety of places you may be visiting.  If you see a person checking you out in the morning while getting your coffee and you again see that same person later in the day at the store you should have concerns.  

 

If you feel as though you are being watched chances are you are.  Don’t disregard this as I’m imagining things, take it seriously.  Stalkers will surveillance you from a short distance.  They want to know as much as they can about you, your daily schedule, where you go, what time you come home, do you live alone?

If you start receiving phone calls and no one is there when you answer, you may have a stalker.   Be extremely conscious of this as someone may be checking on whether you are home or not. 

Have you become a victim of burglary, vandalism and the like?  Beware as stalkers like to see their potential victim in a terrified state.  They are letting you know that access to you and your belongings is theirs.

Taking precaution in the above and seeking out help from the police department can prevent you from becoming a victim.  Always stay focused and pay attention to your surroundings.  If for any reason you feel as though you are being stalked, don't hesitate in seeking help.  You may want to purchase yourself a self defense device to have with you at all times.
