Which Defensive Spray Is Best For You?

Thursday, September 9th, 2010

I get so many phone calls from people asking if I carry pepper sprays. And of course I do. I carry Mace brand, Wildfire and Pepper shot between the three it is probably close to 30 different models. Everything from half ounce pepper shot to 330 gram bear spray to 1 pound pistol grip wildfire similar to the one “dog the bounty hunter” uses a TV.

Many people think that all pepper sprays are the same. They do all do the same thing. When an assailant gets a shot of pepper spray in the face several things happen. First of all it incapacitates him for anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes. It will cause an intense amount of pain on his eyes, nose, throat and mouth. He might even be swearing at you for several minutes.

The oleoresin capsicum that is in most sprays causes intense tearing to the point of the eyes shutting. Defensive sprays also causes choking, shortness of breath, and a burning sensation to the skin eyes and throat. Some disorientation can occur.

Many people don’t realize that there are several basic delivery systems for the pepper spray; foam, spray and gel are the most popular. The new pepper gel holds up better in a wind outdoors and has a greater distance than most other sprays at 18 feet. The new Mace pepper gun uses a “bag in a can” technology which provides the longest range distance of any pepper spray in the world at 25 feet.

But there are four different kinds of defensive sprays for you to choose from.

Triple Action-it uses OC (oleoresin capsicum) which causes choking and the eyes to close; tear gas for tearing and disorientation and UV dye to mark the bad guys for further identification by police

Double Action-uses CS tear gas for profuse tearing, intense pain and shortness of breathe with UV dye.

Pepper gel-uses 1.4 percent capsaicinoid concentration in a gel and UV dye.

Peppergard-uses OC spray whci cause intense pain to skin, eyes and throat.

So many choices for you. Which is best for you? Only you can decide.

Best Defense Against Dog Bites

Wednesday, September 8th, 2010

Millions of Americans every year are victims of dog bites mostly from dogs roaming around loose in violation of local leash laws. Close to five million of them are bitten that we know of. Many more go unreported. Close to one million of them require hospitalization. It is a growing problem across the country.

I get more emails and phone calls about this than any other single topic by far if that tells you anything.

Aside from using common sense when approaching a strange dog what is the best defense against dog bites? I used to carry the telescopic stun baton on my daily walk and it saved me on two occasions. Anymore I carry the mace pepper gun for the best long range defense against dog attacks and dog bites.

It is easy to carry and very effective with a full dose of 10 percent concentration of oleoresin capsicum or OC spray as it is called. It has the best range of all self defense products at 25 feet. In independent tests done it is the most accurate of all defensive sprays.

It uses replaceable cartridges that are easy to load. The unit comes with a water test cartridge so you can practice and get used to the range. And you have a choice of four fashionable colors.

A ten percent solution of OC will cause excessive tearing in humans to the point of shutting the eyes. This is accompanied by extreme pain, choking, coughing and shortness of breathe.

Don’t be intimidated by a charging dog any more. Walk, cycle or jog in freedom and carry the best defense against dog bites-the Mace pepper gun.

Self Defense Products-Why Nurses Need Stun Guns-Top Four Reasons

Tuesday, September 7th, 2010

Self defense products are a group of items that provide a nonlethal alternative to the deadly force of a handgun. They have been used by police officers law enforcement agencies for years in one form or another. Pepper sprays, stun guns and tasers which are used by over 11,000 police agencies.

The purpose of self defense products is to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help.

When I first started doing some research for this article I was shocked at some of the things that I learned. Why would a nurse need a self defense product working in a hospital?

There are four reasons that stand out.

1. First, the International Association of Healthcare Security and safety is reporting that’s is 70 percent of all hospitals are located in average or above-average violent crime areas. The area around the hospital is a breeding ground for crime.

2. Second, because of shortages of staff and widespread drug and alcohol use by emergency room patients the number of assaults, beatings, stabbings even rapes is way above average as well.

3. Third because most people working in the nursing profession are women. Women are the targets of violence in nine out of ten times for everything from street assaults to domestic violence to home burglary and home invasion to carjacking, women are the preferred targets in 90 percent of the cases.

4. The fourth reason is that nurses frequently work odd shifts more than practically any other occupation. This frequently places them is darkened stairwells and deserted parking lots at odd hours placing them at greater risk of assault.

Those are four good reasons why nurses need a self defense product in a hospital setting.

A stun gun makes more sense than others. They are hand held devices with two prongs on one end that conduct an electrical charge. When that electrical charge is applied to an assailant for 3 to 5 seconds it causes the body to overwork and deplete it of all blood sugars needed for energy. It will incapacitate an assailant for five to fifteen minutes giving you time to get away.

No long-term damage is done by the charge. When are you getting one?

Best Self Defense Products for Women-The Four Most Popular

Monday, September 6th, 2010

Unless you’ve been living in a cave somewhere you can’t help but notice in the local paper or on the evening news that women are the targets of violence by a substantial margin over men-9 to 1 to be exact. And that’s here in the United States. In other parts of the world it is much worse. It is just an unfortunate fact of life that women are at some point in their lives going to be subjects of a crime.

It can be anything from rape, domestic violence, assault, robbery, street crime, home invasions, or even carjacking. The sooner that women realize this the sooner they can start preparing to defend themselves adequately. And I’m not trying to put fear in everybody-just sound the warning bell.

Knowing that they are at risk is the first step. The second step is to get some self defense products that can actually help protect them. After four years in the business of selling self defense products here are the four most popular self defense products for women based on sales and personal experience.

The first is the C-2 taser. It shoots out two electrified darts up to 15 feet away for nearly 100 percent take down rate. It police tests they have more stopping power than a 9 mm handgun. Nearly 11,000 police agencies in this country and agencies in six foreign countries carry tasers. Is that endorsement enough?

The second is the Mace pepper gun. The Mace pepper gun carries more OC spray than most pepper sprays. It has enough for seven 25 foot shots. It is equally effective against human assailants as it is against charging dogs. It can be used effectively against multiple attackers should the situation warrant.

The third one is the pretender stun gun. It looks like a camera cell phone and but isn’t. Instead it is a powerful stun gun-4.5 million volts to be exact. One of the most powerful in the world.

The fourth is a personal alarm-the electronic pocket whistle. This handy device not only can draw attention to a dangerous situation you may be in but it can also scare away attackers with 120 dB whistle. It comes with a handy key chain attachment. Just press a button and the whistle sounds.

These are the for best most popular self defense products for women. When are you getting one?

Best Self Defense Products For Nurses Inside and Outside The Hospital

Friday, September 3rd, 2010

When I started doing research for this article I had no idea of the danger that nurses were in on a day to day basis. Here are a few facts. Almost two thirds of all hospitals are in areas that are above average or average high crime. This fact from the International Association of Healthcare Security and Safety. So they work in high risk areas.
Because of increased stress due to low staffing ratios and rampant drug and alcohol abuse, assaults, stabbings, shootings, rapes and beatings are all on the rise inside hospitals.

On average, workplace violence reports that there are nearly 1,000 murders and 1.5 million assaults every year with two thirds of them happening in healthcare settings. Nearly 50% of the nursing population is affected by violence in the workplace. That my friends is a very scary statistic.

Hospitals are putting procedures in place to handle rage and violence with visible security personnel, security cameras and equipment and classes teaching nurses basic self-defense techniques.

Self defense weapons like stun guns are being carried by nurses more often than not. For inside the hospital that may be perfectly good, but they face great risk outside the hospital because of the neighborhood areas that they’re located in. Conditions like darkened stairwells inside the hospital, working late shifts and walking to the parking garage that may or may not be covered and probably is poorly lit at that are all breeding grounds for crime.

Self defense products are nonlethal by nature and offer the user an opportunity to get away from an assailant and a dangerous situation.

Perhaps the best self defense product for a nurse to carry in her purse is the Mace pepper gun. It shoots out seven 25 foot shots of oleoresin capsicum better known as OC spray. This spray causes intense pain, tearing of the eyes so bad that they shut, choking, coughing and shortness of breath. And oh yeah, it also causes a great deal swearing by the assailant.

Its’ effects can last anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes giving you more than enough time to get away. It is perhaps the most effective self defense product you can use outside of the hospital.

Inside the hospital I would not recommend using it. Even though the spray from the Mace pepper gun is very accurate, wayward spray could affect patients or innocent bystanders. Inside the hospital, the pretender stun gun with 4.5 million volts of power that will put anyone down.

Don’t fall victim to crime, especially when you’re at work. Start defending yourself with some self defense products.

When are you getting some?

A 10% solution of OC spray is illegal in some jurisdictions. So check the internet or your local sheriff’s department first before getting some.

Best Defense Against Dog Attacks

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010

I go for a walk nearly every morning with several of my friends. We are known far and wide as the “rolling thunder walking club.” Admittedly we walk at a very slow pace but we have a very good time and have developed quite a following on our walking route with people stopping to talk to us almost daily. We do it more for the fun than the exercise.

Occasionally we will come across a charging dog. I used to carry my telescopic stun baton as our defense and I used it twice with great success. But now I carry the Mace pepper gun. It is the best defense against dog attacks. Nearly 5,000,000 Americans every year are bitten by a dog and close to one million of them requiring hospitalization. It is a rapidly growing problem across the country.

If you’ve ever been a victim of a charging dog you know how terrifying it can be. If you’ve ever been attacked by a dog that is even worse.

The pepper gun shoots out seven 25 foot shots so you can defend against multiple attackers. If you miss it will give you another chance at getting your target. The 10 percent oleoresin capsicum concentration it shoots out is amazingly accurate. The delivery system is a ‘bag in can’ technology using replaceable canisters unlike any other self defense product there is.

A shot in the face of oleoresin capsicum or OC as it is known will cause intense pain and perhaps some swearing at you. It will also cause shortness of breath, choking, coughing, and a mental disorientation all of which will last five to 45 minutes allowing you time to get away.

Here in Colorado Springs, the incidence of dog attacks seems to be up. I can’t verify what it is in other parts of the country but have a suspicion that it is a similar situation. It seems like it’s getting out of control. But don’t leave your safety to chance when you’re out walking get the Mace pepper gun to defend yourself. It is the best defense against dog attacks.

What Are The Most Powerful Stun Guns-The Top Three

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

Self defense products are a rapidly growing group of nonlethal defense items whose sole purpose is to allow you time to get away from a dangerous situation and get help. Some of them include stun guns, pepper sprays, tasers, personal alarms and batons. Stun guns and pepper sprays on average are 86 percent effective. Tasers on the other hand are nearly 100% effective.

They will allow you to incapacitate an assailant anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes allowing you plenty of time to get away.

The stun gun has two prongs on one end of the device. When you touch it to an attacker and press the button or trigger it a creates electrical current going from the prongs thru garments into his body causing him to lock up and collapse.

The pulsed current causes muscles to work so rapidly that it depletes the body of all necessary blood sugars so he has absolutely no energy left to do anything. It also interrupts the microscopic neurological stimulus that controls muscle movement. So he has complete disorientation and loss of balance.

The amperage is low so it doesn’t cause any permanent injury. But the higher the voltage the less time than it takes to work. I always advise people to get the most powerful stun gun that they can afford. And now they are cheaper than ever. You can get some multi-million volts stun guns for less than $30.

Here we’re talking about the most powerful stun guns. There are three that come to mind.

1. The first is the pretender stun gun that looks just like a camera cell phone but is a 4.5 million volt stun gun. It offers power and added advantage of surprise because no one can tell that it is a stun gun instead of the camera cell phone.

2. Next is the multi-function stun gun at 4.5 million volts. It is an alarm, bright LED flashlight, red flashing emergency light all with a disable pin and it is rechargeable too.

3. The third is the runt stun gun at 4.5 million volts that is so small it is easy to conceal or wear it like a pager.

These are three of the best most powerful stun guns. When are you getting one?

Best Self Defense Products for Professional Women

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Women in the United States are targets of violence 90% of the time. Everything from rape, domestic violence, assaults on city streets, home invasions, even carjackings; women are the targets 9 out of 10 times. All you have to do is just read a local newspaper or watch TV any evening to see more anecdotal evidence of that.

For professional women who are out and about and maybe travel more than most women and are in darkened stairwells and darkened garages more than most women they especially present themselves as attractive targets. And that isn’t just me speaking. It is borne out by the facts. So what are professional women supposed to do?

The first and most obvious is be aware of this fact. That puts you ahead of the masses. The fact that you are reading this tells me you have more than a passing interest in your own safety.

Be aware of the problem. Take steps to defend yourself. Learn some basic self defense techniques. “Jeet kune do” will protect you in ninety percent of all street crimes. It is no rules street fighting (with some guidance). And get some self defense products.

The best self defense products for professional women are:

Mace Pepper Gun-enough 10 percent defensive spray in a replaceable canister to shoot seven 25 foot shots. Great for dense against dogs and multiple attackers.

Taser C 2 Gun-shoots two 15 foot electrified darts to disable attackers with nearly 100% effectiveness and more stopping power than a 9 mm handgun. Used by over 11,000 law enforcement agencies.

Pretender Stun Gun-is disguised as a camera cell phone but is the most powerful stun gun we have at 4.5 million volts.

There are more women in all areas of the workforce than ever before in sales, nursing, law, education and other fields. Take that pre-emptive step to protect yourself with some self defense products.

When are you getting some?

I always advise that if you feel threatened by an assailant point a charging stun gun at him and hold it up for the bad guys to see the flying current and hear the sounds. A ‘back off’ warning may scare him away when he sees what you have. From a distance the crackling noise alone and blue sparks that stun guns give off when activated may be enough to keep attackers at bay.

If you think crime can only happen to the other guy you are wrong. The “other guy” is thinking the same thing and to him you are that “other guy”. There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!

Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of one of these.

If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Check with your local police department first before you get one.

Best Self Defense Product Against Multiple Attackers

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Self defense products provide a nonlethal alternative to deadly force. Their purpose is to provide you a means to get away from a dangerous situation and seek help or just to get away. They do that by disabling an assailant for anywhere from 5 to 45 minutes giving you more than enough time to get away.

Stun guns, pepper sprays and tasers all do that and are all effective. Tasers are nearly 100 percent effective. Stun guns and pepper sprays on average are 86 percent effective. But they all are mostly only good against one assailant.

There is only one product on the market today that can be used against multiple assailants. Now I will be the first to admit that doesn’t happen very often and I hope it never happens to you. But if you are faced with two or three or even more people then the product that can help you the most is the Mace pepper gun. And here’s why.

First of all it uses a 10% solution of oleoresin capsicum or OC as a deterrent. A quick shot of OC in the face of an assailant will cause extreme pain, more than likely some swearing at you, shortness of breath, coughing, choking, and tearing so badly that his eyes may shut. Those effects can last from 5 to 45 minutes.

Second, the Mace pepper gun carries 28 g of OC spray enough for seven 25 foot shots.

Third, it has range of 25 feet which is longer than any other pepper spray in the world.

Fourth, the OC spray comes in a replaceable cartridge. If you happen to run out you can replace the cartridge in a matter of seconds.

The Mace pepper gun should be your self defense product of choice for facing multiple attackers. When are you getting one?

Self Defense for Women -The Taser C2 Is Their Best Friend

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

If you watch the evening news or read your local newspaper you will notice that the vast majority of assaults, incidents of domestic violence, rapes, robberies even home invasions are committed against women. Of course there are exceptions but usually men are vastly superior in size and strength to women. Unfortunately that translates to women being victims in nine out of ten cases where violence is involved.

So it is no wonder that self defense product manufacturers have started designing products that appeal specifically to women. Companies like Stun Master, Mace brand and Taser International all have a key part of their product line devoted to products that appeal to women. Probably no other product on the market today is more effective for women than the taser C2.

It was introduced about three years ago by Taser brand from Arizona. It was developed out of the tremendous success of other models of the taser product line that police officers use. All models of the taser basically work the same way. They all do the same thing. They shoot out two electrified darts up to 15 feet. The darts are charged with 50,000 V of electricity. The big difference here between a taser and a stun gun is in the wattage. Tasers have nearly twice the level of wattage of a stun gun.

Is the king of self defense products which provide an alternative to deadly force that is non lethal. The idea of self defense products is to give you time to escape from a bad situation and seek help. It certainly does that and they all do. But Taser International claims that in studies done the C-2 is nearly 100% effective. It is much smaller than its brothers and even comes in six fashionable colors.

That is why the taser C2 is the best friend a woman can have for self defense.

Oh by the way after you get your C-2 you have to pass a background check before the product can be activated. So if you have a felony record maybe you want to consider something else. When are you getting one?
