Over the past few years it has become a necessity to carry self defense weapons as the statistics on home and personal crimes keeps climbing. This in itself has made me a believer in looking out for myself and my loved ones more than ever. I don’t know about you but I work hard to earn my dollars and I’m not going to let anyone come into my home or on my person and take my valuables that I have worked so hard to get so I decided to carry a Taser® for protection.
The problem I see with many individuals through conversations is they go on about their daily lives thinking “it won’t happen to me”. So what happens if and when it does come your way? You will not be prepared for the fight. For an example; remember the news on the 90 year old woman who was beaten to death, she was approached by a young woman who asked her for a ride, and then the young woman’s boyfriend forced his way into the vehicle. Not only did they steel whatever this poor 90 year old had, they took her to a wooded area and beat her to death.
I know you are thinking, well that was a 90 year old woman, how would you expect her to protect herself? Age is not the issue here. If this woman had only had a pepper spray or Taser C2 readily available when she was first approached and used her self defense weapon on these two criminals, maybe, she would still be here to tell her tale. Her odds of survival would have increased dramatically if she had been carrying.
Number one lesson learned here; never as nice as you may want to be to someone, take a stranger into your vehicle, home or anywhere. I’m sure in this 90 year olds vision she was thinking in terms of the olden days when maybe you could do such a thing. Not today folks.
The only questions you should be asking yourself is what type of self defense weapons should I carry and what style is best for me and where can I buy one, not whether you should carry. The old saying goes, never say never; it’s a great possibility that you could become someone’s next victim. The best thing you can do for yourself and your loved ones is prepare. Carrying a personal alarm which will draw attention to your direction if needed, pepper spray and/or a stun gun or Taser® will help you in defense against attack.
It’s no secret that many are being raped, robbed, carjacked, murdered, sexually and mentally abused by criminals, spouses, boyfriends girlfriends don’t let this happen to you. Sadly as you are reading this article someone somewhere in this country is being raped, robbed, sexually assaulted, another is suffering serious violence and possibly murdered.
Times are rough for many today with unemployment and the ever increasing costs, with this comes increased criminal activity.
By preparing yourself for the worst you are taking the necessary steps in self defense. If you never use your self defense weapon, and hopefully you never will, it will still be the smartest purchase choice you could have ever made.

Forms of Self Defense
Are you protected while away from your home? While walking down a street would you be able to defend yourself in the event of an attack? As the importance of martial arts training or similar skills are many out there just simply do not possess such skills. If you find yourself within this group of individuals, you are at a serious safety risk every time you step foot out the door.
In today’s times however, it’s fortunate that there are many ways of protection without having to know these methods of physical training. While signing up for self defense training classes is a great idea, you may also want to consider carrying a self defense weapon.
Precautionary Measures to keep in your thoughts
Never leave home without your cell phone. Make sure you have programmed emergency numbers for your local and state police and save it to speed dial memory. Always keep your cell phone readily available in case you need to reach for it in the event of attack. Whether or not you are able to speak into the phone, sounds of struggle will be heard and the police will be able to locate you. Carrying a flashlight can also be a crucial tool in your defense.
Flashlights are not only handy to have on you, they will aid in seeing better while walking at night, oncoming vehicles can see you and can be shined out in front and around you to see hidden people or animals you would most likely not see otherwise.
Self Defense Weapons
The last thing you want is to be caught helpless if you are approached by an attacker. Carry a self defense weapon and know how to use it.
Self defense weapons like pepper sprays, stun guns and tasers are very good defense tools to have, however there are many weapons out there today that are every day common household items. Having an umbrella, flashlight, pens, belt and many others are great defense tools. You do need to remember that by utilizing any weaponry you do take a risk in it being taken from you. This is why we highly suggest pepper spray as a defense weapon. You can spray your would-be attacker from a longer distance and not have to worry about physical contact. The pepper sprays are small and easily fit in your purse or your pocket. If you are attacked, simply spray it in your attacker's eyes.
This quick action will render them temporarily blind, giving you a chance to escape.
Utilizing stun guns will provide you a higher level of protection. Remember that you do need to become phsyical in order to use a stun gun. Stun guns disrupt the signals that go from the brain to the muscles, causing your attacker to lose control of his body and drop to the ground.
It is highly recommended that you check with your local and state laws prior to purchasing any self defense weapons.
Many items can be used as emergency weapons, keys army knives, pen knives and the like. If you do not have a formal form of self defense weapons, carrying your keys between your knuckles while walking to and from anywhere can provide an effective method of defense. Both a pocket knife and a sharp pen can be jabbed into any soft tissue in your attacker's body. Consider the abdomen, the cheeks, and the back of the knee.
Carrying personal protection devices can help you make an escape should you be attacked. Important factor, pay close attention to your surroundings and use good judgment. It’s you or him.

Differences Between Pepper Spray Types
To help you in determining which Pepper Spray may be the best fit for you and how they perform, here’s a listing of all the different types for your knowledge.
PEPPER STREAM: The stream form is a very effective self defense weapon in the use of hitting multiple attackers, spraying an attacker in darkness, in tight areas, ie; through your partially opened car window, and will dramatically help with your aim.
The stream method will shoot an attacker with super-hot pepper! If sprayed through a partially opened car window you will have minimum contamination against you.
By moving the pepper spray from side to side while spraying (fanning technique) you will increase your chances of hitting your mark.
The stream method will empty very quickly however will provide the heaviest blast of pepper. Pepper Spray is a popular choice amongst women as a self defense weapon. Pepper Spray performs immediately causing running nose, shortness of breath, and the eyes to shut with severe tearing.
FOGGER PEPPER SPRAY: This self defense weapon provides a spray pattern also great for multiple attackers, crowd control, animal attacks and to keep at a dorm room or at home.
You can experience blow-back with the fogger method especially while using outdoors. The advantage outweighs the disadvantage of blow-back as the attacker when sprayed will be incapacitated for approximately 30 minutes while you may suffer some tearing and coughing.
While pressing the trigger and taking a few steps back using the fanning technique the spray will penetrate through anything that moves through the fogger path. This pepper spray works immediately causes eyes to shut, tearing, runny nose, shortness of breath and severe coughing.
FOAM PEPPER SPRAY: This form allows you to spray with little to no blow-back. It sticks to the recipient like glue! Using foam spray in windy conditions will not cause the spray to come back at you.
Many believe if sprayed with the foam spray they can just wipe it off and continue on with an attack. This Pepper Foam is similar to thick, sticky saving cream loaded with a high concentration of hot pepper.
When you try to wipe it off it only penetrates deeper. The pepper works instantly again causing the eyes to shut with tears, runny nose, excessive coughing and shortness of breath. Great self defense carry for women.
GEL PEPPER SPRAY: Pepper gel formulation is suspended actually as it’s named, in a gel form. This type results in several advantages, stronger pepper, sticks like glue, longer distance, less contaminating and non-flammable. Ideal for carry anywhere.
The great advantage of Pepper Gel is the 18 foot spray distance which is twice as far as most pepper spray ranges. The Gel style is also an excellent self defense product for women.
PEPPER POWDER: Is very compact and highly portable defense (weighs only 3.4 ounces). Launches hot pepper powder in a cloud onto an attacker and also creates a barrier between you and your attacker. Pepper cloud irritates attackers' eyes, nose and lungs, causing temporary incapacitation.
Excellent form of protection in a pepper spray for anyone.

Practicing with Self Defense Spray Can Make a Difference
After you have purchased your new pepper spray it is highly recommended that you take the time and practice using it. Knowing how and where you carry your self defense weapon is a huge factor in your success on using your defense spray. Women especially should not carry your weaponry in your purse as if your purse is taken from you your weapon won’t be able to help you.
That being said, you may want to consider carrying it clipped to your purse and keep a hold on it while you are walking. This would prevent your self defense weapon being taken with your purse should the purse be stolen from you.
Having your weapon in ready mode is a crucial step in defense. This applies to whether you use a pepper spray or any other self defense weapon. Assaults are not a planned event and can happen at anywhere or time, while walking to your car, jogging going to and from the store, these are all potential risk factors which will not allow you much time.
This being said, it’s very important you practice with your self defense weapons, being comfortable with your own ability to use your weaponry properly can be the difference between you actually using it or not. You must mentally feel ready; this can make or break a bad situation at hand. If you aren’t mentally comfortable using your weapon there’s a good chance you may not use it. Reaction time is a matter of a second or two, you must have the ability to react and use it efficiently and fast. These factors can make the difference as to whether you become a victim or survive your attacker.
Formal training with self defense spray may be something you should seek out in your area. Your local authorities may have instructional classes. Practicing and knowing your weapon is of significant value and will help you in becoming very familiar with your pepper spray and to feel a comfortable level of confidence.
To some this may sound as though you need to be paranoid every time you walk out your door, this is far from the truth however being cautious and having preparation in your personal protection is simply smart. Crime is out there and you could be the next potential victim. We cannot predict the future but we can certainly take steps in self preparation. One will never know if they will become a criminal’s next victim.
Hesitation is not an option when it comes to protecting you and your loved ones. Get protected today and help save your life.

Help You and Your Family stay Protected
Whether you may or may not realize, purchasing a self defense weapon for you and someone you love is your first line of defense. Crime rates are at an all time high and criminals are seeking out people like you and me to get their hands on.
Many individuals out there do not give defense a second thought, it's just not something we run around thinking about on a daily basis, however in these times we all should be second thinking and taking steps in our own protection.
Sadly it's become a necessity today, personal and home protection. Many household's are being broken into or invaded with you in it. We as good citizen's need to take a stand and help ourselves become more efficient in protecting our personal and home values. The police just aren't equipped enough to be everywhere at one time.
With today's vast variety of self defense weapons to choose from there's no reason why one can't get the necessary protection for your personal or home use. These products are very affordable and perform as they are meant to.
Pepper Sprays are a great start for personal protection. Depending on which model you choose will depend on how it sprays and the distance it will go.
Stun guns are a great source of protection. With this method you will need physical contact with your attacker, most are reluctant on this however if you are personally attacked in the street there's a good chance you will be in a physical contact mode anyway. The stronger the voltage the better off you will be. With the high voltage it will perform quicker so you can get to safety faster.
Taser guns are superior protection. This device will allow you up to 15 feet distance between you and a possible assailant. You can reload this gun in less than a second and also use it as a backup stun device if needed.
Personal Alarms are meant to be heard. Don't under estimate carrying these small devices. If you want attention drawn your way this is a good way to get it. However, these devices are not meant to protect you.
For your home there are many different alarms that can be placed amongst your household. This type of protection is not only effective but very affordable versus placing a full surveillance system.
The point here is getting you and your home protected. Don't wait until it's after the fact like many have done. Get pro-active and take steps to protect yourself. You'll be glad you did. Even if you never have to use your device, it'll be the smartest purchase you will ever make.
