Home invasions have also climbed in record numbers, are we 100% safe in our own homes?  This is the reason self defense weapons have and will help you in your personal and home protection.  If at all possible it is smart to call your local police department in the event you need them, however it takes them time to get to you, the crime has already been committed and you have become a victim,  you need to be able to defend yourself.


Criminals are out there and attacking everyone and anyone, women and the elderly are more susceptible to attacks however more and more men are becoming victims.
   

Not many people care or take the time to think about whether or not they may become a victim of a violent crime but one should take precautionary measures as it's smart to prepare in attack prevention.

Self Defense In Multiple Situation

Attacks by more than one criminal would be the worst possible situation, however it’s something that has and can happen to you.


Statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation show three out of seven sexual assaults committed are by multiple attackers.

Increases in violence of young individuals and gang related people it’s very likely that the multiple assailant situations will increase.


Criminals are just people and for the most part cowardly. The potential victim who appears to be confident and strong will most likely not be a target, but when coupled with other criminals and now out number you, this is when they become stronger and over powering.


Being in good shape will allow you to be more effective in a street fight. Your intensity of performance will be stronger, more confident and your resilience to physical hits will be more tolerated.

Fighting is a competition on who is the strongest physically and mentally. The better shape you are in the better chances of conquering your would-be attacker.

If you are capable of exercising to build your stamina, try to do so, it will only help you.

 

Technical skills such as martial arts training will allow you the ability to perform trained defensive movements that would help in taking control of a bad situation.

Emotions place a huge part in how your situation can turn out. Confidence, strong willed and a, “I can do this” attitude will guide you. Remember it’s you or them.

The use of self defense weapons or a weapon of other resources can give you an advantage over your attackers. Just remember! If you should decide to carry any type of weapon and you choose to pull it out and threaten you attacker, you must be prepared to use it, there is no going back. No hesitation when it comes to using your weaponry.

Choosing The Best Pepper Spray

Here is a very informative article on choosing your self defense weapons wisely for your information.
Choosing The Best Pepper Spray
By Irv Gelbart

Over the years, law enforcement agencies and military personnel worked towards the development of non lethal self defense products. This was done, ostensibly, for crowd control and to temporarily incapacitate attackers.

It can be very confusing to choose the proper chemical agent that best suits your situation. As with the purchase of any other product such as a car or stereo, it is highly recommended that you conduct research on the various types of pepper spray offered to civilians.

The beauty of non lethal pepper spray is that it is inexpensive, easy to deploy, and can be carried in different dispersing containers. For example, pepper spray can be carried on a key chain. This may be a great choice for people who walk, jog, run, or individuals who traverse parking lots and college campuses.

When presented with a dangerous situation, self defense products are designed to allow you sufficient time to leave the scene and seek help. Although pepper sprays may deliver a painful experience to an attacker, it is non lethal; therefore, it will not kill them. The effects will incapacitate an assailant for nearly 45 minutes, thus allowing you to flee the scene.

Oleoresin capsicum (OC) is the primary ingredient in pepper sprays. It causes the eyes to tear excessively, thus causing the eyes to slam shut. It also causes pain, choking and shortness of breath and disorientation. If an attacker can't see you, you can run away without being seen.

There are various kinds of pepper spray that utilize different delivery systems. As mentioned previously, for crowd control, the popular sport of paintball uses paintball markers to shoot "pepper balls" at instigators, to disperse a crowd.

Typically, for civilian use, you can choose between a gel, foam or spray. The delivery system can also deliver the contents in a stream, cone or fog.

Pepper spray which is suspended in a gel instead of a liquid stream, is referred to as Pepper Gel. This formulation results in longer distance with a range of 18 feet as the particles of OC are less apt to be atomized. It contains a stronger pepper, it is non-flammable and it sticks like glue.

Pepper Foam contains 10% pepper and foam and produces a powerful deterrent. The thick foam covers an attacker's face making it difficult to see. When they try to wipe away the foam, the pepper is ground into their face and eyes.

The classic defense spray is delivered by way of a stream, for longer distance, a cone for a wider area, or a fogger designed for use in home or automobile.

With respect to the containers used to deliver the chemical spray, they are usually an aerosol canister with some form of safety to prevent accidental discharge. The containers can be cleverly disguised as a pen, a key chain model, a decorative ring or even in a seemingly innocent lipstick.

When choosing the model that suits your needs, make your choice wisely. If you need discretion, a disguised model may be best. If you are a bounty hunter, a large container that can be attached to a "thigh holster" may be best for you.

With the high level of unemployment that exists today, crime has increased. People, who would normally be law abiding citizens have, on occasion, resorted to "purse snatches" or other means to unlawfully get money. Self defense products are so named as they are designed to protect you from crime. Don't think that crime only happens to other people.

"Choose your weapon wisely" In today's society you must protect yourself, your family, you're your home and your business! Lastly, check with the local laws in your area with respect to the possession and use of pepper spray. In many cities and states it is perfectly legal. In others, it may be against the law.

Fox Labs Mean Green Pepper Spray - OC Spray at Its Best

Here's a great article I came across on Fox Labs Mean Green Pepper Spray - OC Spray at Its Best!
Fox Labs Mean Green Pepper Spray - OC Spray at Its Best
By Michael B Saunders
Fox Labs is a well known brand name in the law enforcement community for good reason. They manufacturer what many believe to be the strongest pepper spray (sometimes referred to as OC spray) on the market today. Founded in 1992, Fox manufactures a large lineup of OC sprays both in the traditional canister and keychain delivery systems.
Fox Labs Background
Fox pepper spray was made famous by its original 5,300,000 Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) formula which is by far the hottest OC spray in the industry. This is far higher than the typical 2 or 3 million SHU heat content found in competitor products. What is unique about this remarkable heat level is that Fox Labs is able to achieve this high SHU rating with only a 2% oleoresin capsicum percentage. The proof, as the saying goes, is in the pudding. Fox Labs uses a premium formula that emphasizes premium grade pepper resin quality which has a direct impact on the overall heat and stopping power of the OC spray. The cost of the pepper resin which Fox uses is is approximately 5-10 times more than their competitors.
While the law enforcement community and civilians rave about Fox's 5.3 million SHU formula, Fox has developed another innovative premium pepper spray line called Mean Green™ which we believe is one of the most unique pepper spray products on the market today and all law enforcement and civilians should take serious notice.
 

Mean Green™ Pepper Spray Description
Fox Labs Mean Green is comprised of green OC formulas consisting of pepper resin rated at 3,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). The pepper resin is so purified it is virtually clear. The quality of the pepper resin used is unmatched in the industry. Other manufacturers use low grade resin and then mix this with other additives, which weaken the overall stopping power and slows the time it takes for the pepper spray to react. Mean Green™ provides intense heat, potent stopping power, is non-flammable and has a unique, easily visible green ID dye that can take days to remove from the skin.


Mean GreenUnique Green Dye
One of Mean Green's most unique features other than its serious heat and fast acting formula is its bright green dye. This dye makes it easy to identify the attacker for law enforcement officials or campus safety officers. This dye can take days to remove from the skin and means that the attacker will have to stay out of the public eye for many days, or risk being identified as an assailant. This will make the job of identifying these assailants much easier for police. The green dye is vegetable based and safe for human use.
Summary
Whether you are a law enforcement officer or a civilian looking to buy pepper spray for general protection to effectively stop and be able identify your attacker, Mean Green™can be an excellent option. The Mean Green™ line is available in both 1.50 and 3.00 ounce canisters (in stream and cone fog) as well as in keychain pepper spray form.

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.
