This is a story about a man in Bridgeton, New Jersey who had a little bit too much to drink. When police approached him he started resisting. So they gave him a friendly shot of pepper spray to get him under control. That’s a good example of how pepper spray can be used.

Every law enforcement officer in the country carries a pepper spray on his utility belt. And letter carriers with the USPS carry pepper spray as the first line of defense against dog attacks.

We have always recommended that women especially carry some kind of self defense product. Pepper sprays are the most common in the country. Why? Because it is so effective-close to 90% on average and is generally very inexpensive.

One of the best ways to protect yourself in an assault situation is with the Mace Triple Action Sprays.

Here’s a story out of a Middleton Ohio newspaper that talks about the risks of using a taser. This prompted the local police chief to defend the use of tasers.

He went on to say in the interview that they actually saved lives by not using deadly force. This argument will rage on forever.

“The devices shoot barbs attached by wires that administer 50,000 volts that most often temporarily immobilize a person’s muscles so police can gain control of the suspect. They can be shot at a distance of 35 feet.”

The civilian versions of tasers do exactly the same thing only don’t shoot out 35 feet. They only have a range of 15 feet. The most popular civilian taser is the Taser C 2 that was designed specifically for women. They have an amazing take down rate of near 100%. When your life is on the line you want a taser by your side.

Here’s a story about a man who has been assaulting college coeds in an area in San Diego known as the “college area.” He sneaks up behind his prey just like any other predator. You can read the rest of the story HERE.

So far the police have been unable to catch him.

I can’t help but wonder whether it’s ignorance or what the reason might be why college women especially don’t carry and use pepper sprays. If they understood the risks of being assaulted maybe more of them would carry pepper sprays and these crimes could be avoided.

Pepper sprays are the most popular self-defense item in the world for a reason. They work at repelling an assailant and putting him out of commission for up to 45 minutes.

Pepper Shot shown above is one of the most inexpensive and effective pepper spray products you can get.

This is a story about how a domestic abuse shelter for women in Columbia, Missouri is experiencing an increase in cases. They put some of the blame on the economy.

The story goes on to say”Domestic violence shelters across the country report the economy continues to significantly affect battered women and children, Hodges said. According to a national study, domestic violence shelters have reported a 78 percent increase in women seeking assistance since 2008.”

One of the best defenses you can get against assault or domestic violence of any kind is a self defense product. I can’t imagine why women would not consider carrying a pepper spray when they are so inexpensive, easy to use and legal in just about every state.

One of the best of all of them is the Pepper Shot 2 & 4 ounce sprays that come in a stream or fogger. They are some the least expensive in the market place.

This is a story about how a small community in Massachusetts is going to add tasers to their arsenal for the police officers to do their jobs.

Story goes on to say “Of the 351 communities in Massachusetts, 123 currently have Tasers”

Stoneham Police Chief Richard Bongiorno discussed the growing need for Tasers to be made available to his officers.

In 2011, several difficult situations cropped up that put officers and suspects at risk of injury that could have been resolved more efficiently and safely had the department had Tasers, according to the police chief.

“We researched our records and in the last year we had six very serious incidents that had we had use of the Taser we would have reduced officer injuries as well as an injury to at least one suspect,” Bongiorno said.

“It completely debilitates and subdues an individual—it’s quite painful—but it’s not lethal and the effects of the Taser wear off in approximately a minute and a half and that gives us ample time to neutralize a suspect with no injury, and after that minute and a half it’s like nothing ever happened.”

If it so effective for all these law enforcement agencies in Massachusetts why shouldn’t you have one? The civilian version that’s most appealing to women is the Taser C 2.

It also shoots out two darts that are electrified up to 15 feet away. It does the same thing that law enforcement tasers do.

This is a story about two sexual assaults that occurred in Las Vegas, Nevada recently. The two were particularly violent and police are seeking help from the public in trying to catch the guy.

The story goes on to say “The similarities in the suspect descriptions, the proximity of both crime scenes, and the time and day of the occurrences suggest these assaults may be the work of a single perpetrator.”

As long as I’ve been in this business I can’t help but wonder why women don’t invest $10 or $15 in a self defense product that can protect them against crimes like this. I guess all we can do is let people know that they’re available.

One of the best defenses against sexual assault are pepper sprays. There is a wide variety of them available for less than 15 bucks.

Mace Pepper Gard is one of the best.

Here’s a story about how 64-year-old man forced a 20-year-old store clerk into a back room and then sexually assaulted her. The clerk escaped when another customer came into the store. He then called 911. The customer then followed him and provided police with updates on his location. He was caught shortly thereafter.

You can read the whole story HERE. The man is being charged with sexual assault, robbery and a whole bunch of other things. His bond was set at over $1 million.

The whole episode might have been avoided if the clerk had some Mace Triple Action pepper spray. It incapacitates an assailant for up to 45 minutes and uses a UV dye to identify the assailant.

There’s a reason why law enforcement officers carry pepper spray. It is one of their first lines of nonlethal defense. If they use it. Why shouldn’t you?

If you’ve ever seen the University of Colorado, Boulder campus is you know it’s in an idyllic setting right next to the Rocky Mountains. It is so close to bear territory to make me wonder why people seem surprised that this would happen. Anyhow a bear wandered onto campus and was going around a dormitory scaring people. duh-that’s what bears do.

It is getting to be that time of year when people go camping, hiking, fishing or just wandering around the mountains. Whenever you go into the back country always make sure you have some Bear Pepper Spray with you. It is your best protection in the event of a bear attack and has been proven to offer more stopping power than a handgun. So as the old commercial used to say don’t leave home without it.

Two ounce Pepper Stream is one of the least expensive yet highly effective self defense items. A pepper spray can incapacitate an assailant for up to 45 minutes allowing you sufficient time to get away and seek help. Pepper sprays cause choking and coughing, great difficulty breathing, intense pain, and tearing of the eyes so bad that the eyes may actually shut. With all that there is no long-lasting or permanent damage. Maybe that’s why it’s the biggest selling self defense product in the world.
