For those who do carry, there have been many amongst them who have already had to use their self defense devices to defend themselves.  This particular group of people are surely glad they had some sort of self defense devices on them at that moment and will continue to carry for future use.  Why?  Because if used properly they work.  As simple as that.

For those who choose not to carry, beware, crime is all around you and yes it can happen to you.  I know many people take their personal safety for granted, going about their daily lives without giving thought to the possibility of them becoming someones next victim.  If this is how you choose to live you should reconsider and think about your options.

One in every five women will be a victim of a violent crime during their lifetime.  Do you want to be one of these statistics?  Most of these violent crimes are performed by someone you know and would least expect to hurt you.

By carrying self defense devices you can increase your odds of survival dramatically from being victimized.  Doesn't this give you a better sense of self than not having any weaponry, using only what strength you have, this won't be much when you are fighting against a man who is two to three times your size or up against more than one.   

The only possible way you may get through an attack is if you have some sort of martial arts or tactical training under your belt.  There are many who do have this training, however for most it isn't practiced and takes years of training to perfect.

Are You Defenseless without a Firearm?

This article written by Rick Saxby of FightingPhilosophy.com speaks of the issues related to carrying handguns and having folding knives as a back-up self defense device.  There are many talks about the government banning civilians from carrying and the possibility of them coming into your home and confiscating your self defense weapons.

Most of the people I know who have a carry permit for their pistol also carry a folding knife as a backup self defense weapon.  These friends of mine go to the shooting range or in their backyards quite often to practice shooting targets but none of them practice with their folding knives that they carry.  I think this is quite typical for America at large. 

In this article, I go over a few of the reasons I think this mentality is wrong and it's just as important to practice with your folding knife as it is your pistol.

There is a question I hear a lot from people asking who have recently been issued a carry permit; "What do I do when I can't carry my pistol somewhere?"  The common answer for this question by civilians who have had carry permits for sometime is, "Carrying is a lifestyle and I make a habit of avoiding places like that."  This is a horrible answer.  It's not a solution and is someones pretend world where carrying a gun wherever they go because they have made some kind of a habit.  Here are a few places where civilians are not allowed to carry a firearm:

1. Workplace:  Most companies forbid their employees to carry firearms on the job
2. Courtrooms (Jury Duty), post office, DMV and other government establishments
3. Any commercial airline travel
4. Colleges and all sporting events that take place on campus
5. High Schools and all sporting events that take place on campus

I think that most everyone with a sliver of common sense knows that most shooting sprees happen in places like these.  But those same people just pretend they can avoid these places.  In reality, for most of the civilian population in this country, this is not possible.  If all you have is firearms training then when you enter these places, where most of the mass shootings in our country take place, you are putting down you only line of real self defense. 

You don't have to be defenseless if you take the time to train with your knife.  There are studies that have shown that a person armed with a weapon such as a knife can travel the distance of about  yards in 2 seconds.  If you train with it, you can get even faster.  I'm not advising anyone to bring a knife to a gun fight but at the same time you should never underestimate what someone can do with a knife, especially if that person has intent and training.

Here are some facts for the female audience (or parents who have daughters).  Women who are between the ages of 16 and 19 are more likely than anyone in this country to be the victim of a violent crime with women ages 20-24 in at a close second.  In the case of rape, half of all victims are under 18.  A third of all rapes that occur happen to women between the ages of 12-17.  It just seems odd to me that our country is more concerned about grown men protecting themselves than the segment of the country that is statistically more likely to be violently attacked, raped or abducted.  (You have to be 21 or over to obtain a carry permit in any state).

Remember there are a lot of politicians out there dedicated to disarming the American public.

Rep. William L. Clay (D-St. Louis, MO), said the Brady Bill is "The minimum step" that Congress should take to control handguns.  "We need much stricter gun control, and eventually we should bar the ownership of handguns except in a few cases".

Senator Dianne Feinsteine Democrat-California; Interview with 60 Minutes (1995) "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban picking up everyone of them (firearms), Mr. and Mrs. America turn them all in, I would have done it".

The real tragedy of it all is the fact that every time there is another shooting spree in this country, we come on step closer to the disarmament of the American people.  There is absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop these shooting rampages from happening.  They are just the byproducts of a society that has become almost completely morally bankrupt.

The United States economy will soon be surpassed by China's in real terms by 2016.  That is, if the IMF's latest forecasts are correct.  The sad part is we are so in debt to this massive communist superpower that they are actually starting to strongly influence our economic policies.  Don't forget that China forbids any of its own civilians to own a firearm.

Maybe we will get lucky and our biggest creditor, who at any time can stop loaning us money and our whole society comes to a screeching halt, won't care if all their debtors are armed.  However it looks like they really don't have to worry about it because our own government is taking care of the problem.  Don't think so?  Remember Katrina?  I know these victims of gun confiscation in Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina have something to say:

• Buell Teel - "Automatic rifles pointed at you, you don't have any choice...They didn't care what your rights were; they were going to deny them.  It's not America as we've known it before; it's changing"
• Robert Zas - "Heed the warning of what this was, it's like Australia.  All of sudden, boom, they've got our rights."
• Richard Styron - "They took 'em, and they didn't have a right to take 'em, they didn't even have a reason to take 'em."
• Wayne Schum - "We are living proof that all they have to do is say, 'look-this is the law'."

So what exactly would be your response if a bunch of policemen had M16's pointed at you and your family, safety off and one in the chamber?  Seriously, when the police come for your guns all the tough talk stops and you hand them over.  I sincerely hope this never happens to anyone, but in the world we live in it is a very strong possibility.

What I'm getting at is anyone who believes in practical self defense training should incorporate knife and club training into their firearms routine.  this is not a guarantee to save you and your family from all harm but nothing is and it is far better than firearms training by itself.  Rest assured that for self defense purposes, a good pair of combat boots, a great folding knife, bulletproof vest and a billy club can work wonders if you keep a low profile.

Your Personal Defense. Is any better than the other?

What are the best self defense weapons?  There's no single device on the market today that can suit every situation except in my opinion the Taser gun.  But let's talk about other methods right now.  What I can say is that the best self defense devices are those that will effectively protect you from an attacker, easily carried and have simple operation.  What might perform well enough for home protection might not be best suited for personal carry while out in public.

Taking your own personal defense needs into consideration and weighing the pros and cons of each self defense devices will help you in making a good choice.

Firearms are in fact the most powerful in personal defense.  Although guns can cause lethal results.  If you can handle the aftermath of firing a gun on someone and knowing that you can possibly kill them then this would be the weapon of choice for you, however keep in mind by using lethal weapons you may be setting yourself up for a jail sentence.  Utilizing firearms in the home can be the best use of this self defense device.

If you aren't quite sure about using lethal firearms then you should consider the Taser gun.  This self defense device is the ultimate in less-lethal weapons.  They allow you up to 15 feet of distance between you and the attacker, will go through up to 2 inches of clothing and will drop them down immediately.  You won't kill them however you will stop them in their track, at this time you can either run away or tie them up and call the police.

Stunning devices disrupt the person's electrical impulses that send signals from the brain to other parts of the body.  When a person is stunned with a stun gun, the body is temporarily paralyzed as the various muscles are being disrupted.  It confuses the brain and temporarily shuts down.  Because of disruption, the muscles work extremely hard and don't know what they are supposed to be doing.  This depletes the energy from the body thus causing incapacitation on the attacker for a short period of time.  At this time you run.

Stun guns are able to produce voltages ranging from 50,000 to 4.5 million with some being even higher.  They will penetrate through the thickest of clothing.  Stun guns radiate a spark with is very visible.  They also protrude a loud crackling noise that can be intimidating.  Its purchase is to let an attacker see and hear that you have a stun gun.  This will usually be enough to deter an attacker away from you.

Self defense sprays work best for those who practice using them.  You must spray an attacker in the eyes and face in order for them to perform to their potential.  Aim is crucial with this form of self defense.  Practicing with an Inert Practice Spray will help you with your aim.

There are a vast variety of self defense weapons on the market today; they all come in different sizes, styles, strengths and voltage levels.  Keep in mind that stun guns are for close encounter attacks and require physical contact with the attacker.  You will not cause permanent harm to someone by use self defense weapons.

While you may not think you are already equipped with some of the best self defense weapons you are by already carrying ordinary items with you daily.  Your car keys make a great self defense device, hold the point of the key between your fingers and jab the attacker.  If you have a pocket full of change, throw it in the attackers face.  If it's raining ad you have an umbrella in your hand, close it and start hitting, swinging and jabbing.  Yes, purchasing self defense devices is your best bet but if you don't already have one, use your head, what do you already own that's on your person that you can use to defend yourself.

In the end it's all about personal choice when choosing self defense weapons.  Take the time to look at all your options before purchasing.  Always remember if you don't carry your weapon it can't help you.

Keeping Yourself in Tune to your Surroundings

Criminal activity is vast and in every area imaginable today.  We all can become victims of a hideous crime at any time.  In this day and age it’s a scary thought that finding a safe place of criminal absenteeism is becoming a rarity.  Sadly we are not safe in grocery stores, malls, and even church, at work and in our homes anymore.   So the question remains, how can we protect ourselves and our loved ones from all these dangers?  Do we need to follow certain methods or guidelines to create a safer environment?  

Many are taking self defense classes and learning the teachings of martial arts move.  This is great for those who are capable of the physical ability that is involved.  This form of training takes many years to master, and if principles are not followed correctly you are wasting your time, money and energy.  

You also chance that you will be harmed regardless of this training. What about those who just simply aren’t physically able to do this? 

 

What one should keep in their minds is awareness, communication, attention and carrying self defense weapons.  These factors can help you in self defense against an attacker.

Awareness should always include keeping aware of your setting and those who live within it.   Take caution if an unfamiliar person comes within the vicinity, the majority of criminals choose their victims casually and in many different places.  There are those criminals who choose to follow their victims for day or two to acquaint them with the victim’s schedule.   They check for ways to attack their victims successfully.

Communication includes never talking to strangers.  Never except a car ride or walk leading to your home from strangers.  Don’t let the potential attacker get the better of you by his or her insistence; this should trigger an alarm in your head to definitely get away from this person.  If at all possible seek a police officer’s help. 

Carrying Self Defense Weapons can help you; however you must learn how to use your defense device properly at time of purchase, and this is a crucial step.  By utilizing these defense tools efficiently, you will increase your chances of survival to escape and seek out help.

Always pay close attention to your surroundings.  Make sure you exude confidence in your attitude, walk, and act like you know where you are and where you are going even if you don’t know.   This will probably deter the would-be attacker away from you as he or she usually will prey on those who appear weak and unknowing.

Purchase self defense devices to help aid you in protection.  Make sure you learn the weapon thoroughly and most of all make sure you are carrying it at all times and that it is easily accessible to you in.   

Time is of the essence in an attack situation.  It’s a matter of seconds.

Steel Batons have what it takes in Self Defense

I think we can all agree that the police departments across the country have a difficult job to do.  Each time they step into their positions they face criminal activity of all sorts and with that comes severe dangers.

   

The idea for these brave officers is to use the least amount of force possible.  In some cases they are required to use deadly forces.  With that being said, it’s really the same way for civilians in their own defense.   

Utilizing steel batons or otherwise known as the billy club in their day, can provide some distance between the police officer or in your case an attacker.  Their history goes back to the 1800 era and was carried widely by London policemen.  In those times the baton was made of wood.  In today’s times you will mainly purchase a steel baton made of stainless steel.   

Their usage includes but is not limited to hitting, blocking or to bludgeon a criminal in the worst scenario.  They can smash a window out or be used to go through doors.  Someone who is skilled may use a baton as an arm lock.  

Most batons today are made of stainless steel and have a rubber handle.  The telescopic baton comes in a variety of lengths starting at 16 inches and extending all the way out to 26 inches. With a flip of the wrist the steel baton extends to its maximum length. 

Some states carrying batons is illegal, it’s simple to see why as they are often used as an offensive weapon.  Always check with your local authorities prior to purchasing a steel baton or any other forms of self defense weapons. 

 

To many using deadly force is just not an option and justifiably so.  For this reason, using a steel baton has become very popular in its own right.  These self defense weapons are very affordable and are an effective self defense device. 

   

To realize the pain they can cause, when you have hit your shin bone on a solid object or banged your knee against your office desk that’s the kind of pain that’s inflicted when someone uses the steel baton.  

  

If properly used in self defense, the steel baton can take down an attacker with only one or two strokes.  Your size won’t matter when utilizing this self defense weapon.  The smallest woman with a baton in hand is a dangerous force to be reckoned with. 

If you are searching for the right self-defense product for you, you may want to consider getting a steel baton.  They may not be for everyone or every circumstance but steel batons have earned their right in the world of self defense products.
