Stun Gun Flashlights Are Great for People Who Dont Have Night Vision And Hate Being Mugged


Stun gun flashlights are truly one of a kind. They are multi-functional tools of safety and not just self-defense weapons. They first and foremost are a flashlight and who can’t use a flashlight on occasion. Unless of course they are capable of seeing in the dark. You know, people that have night vision. I believe they call those bats. So unless you are a bat the flashlight should come in handy on occasion. If you are a half-bat-half-human hybrid I hope that I have in no way offended you as that is pretty cool.

The stun gun flashlight is also a safety light which can be used in many situations but I think makes the most sense in traffic situations. Say your car stalls on the highway after the sun has gone down. That is always a tense situation and a potentially dangerous one that can now be avoided with this handy little tool. In a case like this it doesn’t matter whether or not you have night vision. It’s the other cars not seeing you that you have to worry about. Sorry bat guy.

The stun gun flashlight is also a high decibel alarm. This is where this instrument of self-defense really starts strutting its stuff. If someone were to approach you in a threatening manner you simply let this little baby start sounding off and I assure you that the assailant is going to think twice about continuing. When a 130 decibel alarm starts going off people start noticing. That’s great for you and bad for Mr. Assailant.

Last but certainly not least the stun gun flashlight is just that. A stun gun. A stun gun with 200,000 volts of stopping power. So even if Mr. Assailant is stupid enough to not heed the alarm he can come get a taste of what 200,000 volts can do. Let me tell you what it will do. Stop the assailant from doing anything but losing complete control over their own body. Fortunately for the assailant (I know that sounds odd) he or she won’t have to worry about any permanent damage as this weapon is as humane as a truly effective weapon of self-defense can be.

So just to recap…

If you don’t have night vision, are not a half human/half bat mutant and don’t enjoy being mugged you might want to seriously consider purchasing a stun gun flashlight of your very own.

Stay Safe,

Buy Bear Spray If You Are Going Camping And Not Stronger Than A Bear

I am often asked by my customers when an appropriate time to carry bear spray would be. The answer is simple really. Just ask yourself these two simple questions.




1. Am I going to be somewhere where wild bears have even the slightest chance of being seen?



2. Am I stronger than these bears?



If you answered yes to the first question and had to think about the answer to the second question for more than 1 second I would say that buying bear spray should be on the top of your list before your next camping trip.



Here’s the thing. What, realistically, are the chances of you ever using bear spray to save your own life? Pretty slim even if you are an avid camper. Now, what are the chances of you winning a fight between you and an 850 pound grizzly bear? I would say even slimmer unless you are defensive end Julius Peppers of my Chicago BEARS!!!!! I apologize. I get excited when talking about bears of any kind. Seriously though, Peppers is a beast of a man and if any human could take a grizzly bear it would probably be him. The rest of us should seriously consider carrying bear spray.



Here’s another tip when using bear spray. When you are camping you should ALWAYS have the bear spray on you. ALWAYS. It makes no sense not to. A bear attack is going to happen quickly and without much warning if with any warning at all. Bears move quickly so if one starts charging and you don’t have the bear spray in your hand or in a holster at your side you are in a huge amount of trouble. You are not going to out run a bear unless you are Devin Hester of the Chicago BEARS!!!! Okay. Sorry. But in all seriousness you need to have the spray on your person or there isn’t any use in buying it in the first place.



With Guard Alaska bear spray you simply point and spray. The canister has an easily removable safety clip and I would get in the habit of either removing it before you wander from the campsite or even while you are still at the site. Also I would practice taking it from the holster or even spraying it from the holster itself. Practice for an hour straight. Seriously, just practice grabbing it from its holster. Not only is a bear attack going to happen more or less as a complete surprise but you aren’t going to be thinking as clearly as you would with an 850 pound grizzly not charging. Grabbing the bear spray and using it has to be second nature.



Thank you as always for taking time to listen to my ramblings. My intent is always to help ensure that you and yours are well protected. In this case I’m simply saying that if you are going to be going camping anywhere there has ever been a bear sighting it would behoove you to buy bear spray

Cheap Metal Detectors Are A Great Way To Make Sure Nobody Gets Shot At Your Party

I am a real social butterfly. I just love parties. I love just getting together with other people and unwinding after a long week of work and just socializing. I love getting together with old friends and retelling crazy stories from our youth and meeting new and interesting people and hearing new stories for the first time. One thing that I definitely do not enjoy though is being shot. Getting shot while enjoying yourself at a party is a real downer. It just ruins the entire atmosphere that the vast majority of parties are trying to convey when someone has to go and get shot.




A good friend will come up to me at the party and be like ”Hey remember that one time you and Steve went bungee jumping in New Zealand? Wasn’t that great?”. And I’ll be all like “Ha. Yeah that was a great time and I totally want to talk to you about it but right now I’m bleeding from the abdomen. You remember that loud banging sound you heard about 15 minutes ago? Yeah, that was me being shot. I’ll talk to you later though.”



This is why I always implore party planners or anyone trying to organize an event to please consider the use of a metal detector. Metal detectors are an inexpensive measure that can be taken to avoid a possible catastrophe. I’ve been to plenty of concerts, parties and get-togethers that have required me to be screened with a metal detector to enter the premises and exactly zero times have I been offended or felt put off by having to wait a few extra minutes to ensure that the event I am attending is free of anyone carrying a weapon. As long as you are not picking and choosing who is being screened there should not be a problem and nobody should feel singled out for any reason.



If I have to choose between waiting an additional 10 minutes to secure the event I am at to ensure that the event is safe and being rushed to the emergency room with multiple gunshot wounds I am going to go ahead and choose the former. Why not help ensure that your next party or event goes off without a hitch and get yourself a handheld metal detector. There is nothing more valuable than human life and if cheap metal detectors can help prevent the loss of that life than why not make sure we have one on hand at our next party.

When Trouble Calls Answer With The Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun



Anyone who wants to truly feel safe should have at their disposal some means of self defense. Anyone who cares about human life should make sure that self defense comes in the form of something non-lethal. Anyone who wants to make sure that the means of self defense is going to be entirely effective should make sure that the self defense tool is a stun gun. Anyone who doesn’t want the entire world to know they are carrying a weapon of non-lethal self defense should make sure that the stun gun is a cell phone stun gun.




It’s not that I am necessarily opposed to the ‘walk softly and carry a big stick’ ideology (I think Teddy Roosevelt actually said ‘speak softly..’ but whatever) it is just that I don’t think its very practical to walk around letting everyone know that you have a stun gun. I could see that actually causing some potential problems for you so best to conceal it. And nothing is more concealed than the Pretender cell phone stun gun.



It isn’t just a well concealed weapon of self defense but an extremely effective one to boot. Because what good is having a tool that doesn’t work. The Pretender cell phone stun gun packs a whopping 4.5 million volts of stopping power. That is more than enough to make even the most brazen of attackers quit acting a fool.



One question I get on occasion about these cell phone stun guns is really more of a concern than a question. People often ask me if I’m not afraid that someone won’t accidentally answer one and shock themselves. When I get done trying to stifle a hearty laugh I always tell them no. Not at all. That is because to prevent accidental discharge, two levels of safety have been built in. The safety switch must be in the on position (this will cause an LED warning light to come on) and the trigger button pressed before the unit will operate.



As always I must express my man crush on all things non-lethal. I love the protection that a stun gun can afford and am even more in love with the fact that it can offer this protection without having to harm another. I understand that your concern for a potential attacker is probably none too great but there is a very real chance that someone else does care for that person. Maybe the attacker is just a drug addict who could potentially redeem himself one day and once again become the good person his loved ones knew he could be. There is little chance at redemption for an individual with a bullet hole in their chest. Let’s protect ourselves without question but let’s try to do it without taking the life of another. We can accomplish this with the cell phone stun gun

.



In all seriousness how clever was that title? It’s pretty clever. I really impressed myself this time.

What Is The Best Means Of Self Defense For A Senior Citizen? Personal Alarms.

I love my mother. I love my grandma. I would much rather neither of them be the victim of a violent attack. I doubt very much that I am alone on this. I think that many people care very deeply for one or more senior citizens that they know. That is why I think it is such a great idea and such a wonderful gesture of appreciation when we can go just a little bit out of our way to make sure that these seniors we care for have a means of self defense in the way of a personal alarm.




Personal alarms are great because they are truly as ‘safe’ as a tool of self defense can possibly get. I’m not comfortable with my 87 year old grandmother walking around with a handgun. That isn’t safe for her or anyone around her. I don’t like anyone having a firearm, much less a senior citizen. I think the world would be a far safer place if every firearm were to instantly vanish right now. I will always choose the more humane, non-lethal alternative.



I have no problem with the majority of able-bodied seniors carrying a stun device as long as they are in fact able bodied and sound of mind and are properly trained in using such a stun device. However a stun device is no joke and the decision to carry one should not be taken lightly. I also understand that a stun device is not for everyone and that some people just do not feel comfortable with one and so for many people this just is not an option.



Defensive sprays are great for any and every responsible adult looking for a means of self defense. I would say they are immeasurably less dangerous than a firearm and considerably less dangerous than a stun device. However there is still an inherent danger level involved in using a defensive spray, especially with a senior who may not be as physically strong as their attacker. Namely the threat of the defensive spray being turned against them by the attacker.



So what is my choice for senior citizen self defense tool of the century? A personal alarm. Personal alarms for seniors are completely and utterly safe and can still be as effective as any non-lethal self defense weapon. A personal alarm works by emitting an extremely loud alarm (130db or more in some cases!). Usually what happens when some cowardly punk scumbag attacker tries to engage someone smaller and weaker than themselves and a 130 decibel alarm goes off is that the coward attacker decides to turn tail and run for fear of being caught. Unless the attacker is a complete fool he will understand that when one of these alarms starts wailing that people will start diverting their attention to the source of such a noise.



So please do yourself and your loved ones (of any age) a favor and strongly consider carrying a personal alarm with you at all times.



Stay Safe,

Stun Guns Are Better Than Regular Guns In My Opinion

Let me explain the title. Firearms were designed to kill. That’s it. They are not meant to maim. They are meant to stop somebody by putting a hole in them that requires a professional to close. Relax hunters, as long as you are using what you kill I wont gripe. How can I say anything derogatory about hunters when I just ate a McRib. (Although I’m not entirely sure the McRib is made with any real meat).




Responsible gun owners I really do not have a huge problem with as long as they aren’t constantly shouting about how everyone should own a gun too. Actually if they were doing that then I guess they wouldn’t be responsible so I was wrong. I guess I do hate those particular gun owners. The majority of humans on this Earth should not have any kind of access to a gun. Drug addicts, airheads, people with anger issues, criminals, really young people, really old people, really dumb people and a host of others are an accident waiting to happen with a firearm.



I also don’t want to hear from any NRA second amendment freaks that cry constantly about their constitutional right to carry a killing machine on them because some people that lived 250 years ago said so. I am not disparaging the Constitution. There are some inherent flaws in it but the heart of the Constitution is more or less in the right place. The flaws I speak of are, for the most part, there because we just live in a different time than did the gentlemen that penned the Constitution. I know I’ll hear from some people on this but I think the need for a person to have a gun today is much less evident than it was 250 years ago.



With that said I am all for people being able to protect themselves and having an efficient means of doing so. That is where stun devices come in. They can be every bit as effective as a firearm without all the blood and fatal chest wounds. Stun guns are the humane alternative to firearms. I don’t own a gun and I don’t think I will ever have my mind changed on that matter. I just don’t want to be responsible for the death of another human being. Even if it is while protecting myself or my loved ones. If I had a gun and it was truly a matter of my life or anothers then see ya wouldn’t wanna b ya but if I can choose between stopping an attacker non-lethally or by putting him down for a permanent rest I’ll take the non-lethal choice.



Again these are merely my opinions and you can choose or yourself whether or not you agree.



For those of you that think along the same lines as myself and would like to buy a stun gun please feel free to visit us online at Puzek Security Systems

Double Trouble Stun Gun Dont Want No Trouble Now, Ya Hear?



If the Double Trouble stun gun was a sheriff in an old western town it would be the strong, confident type that didn’t take no riff-raff from no hornswoggler. He’d just stare at the bad guys with that steely gaze and the criminals would just hot foot it out of town lessen they wanted to tangle with the meanest, fiercest most rottin’-tootinest’ sheriff in the land. Those no-good sidewinders would know full well that sheriff Double Trouble was meaner than a rattlesnake and when provoked could strike with a venomous bite.



The Double Trouble Stun Gun is so effective because of the space between the contacts. The further the distance between contacts the more effective a stun gun is. Most normal stun guns have a 1.5 inch space between contacts whereas the Double Trouble has 5 inches! Now I know that by looking at this device it might seem impractical and a little over the top but I’m here to tell you it isn’t so. It’s truly form meeting function. It looks mean because it is mean. If you are about to be attacked I am fairly certain you are going to be much more concerned with the effectiveness of a stun gun than whether or not it looks a tad ‘over the top’.



People have handguns for protection because they are effecvtive but those things can and do kill. These can be every bit as effective but without taking anyones life. Sherriff D.T. might not take any riff raff and isn’t afraid to put a whoopin’ on an intruder but he lives by the motto that we should ‘live and let live’. Another thing to consider is that with a firearm you can’t have an ‘oops’. I am by no means saying that you should get in a ‘use this stun gun first and ask questions later’ state-of-mind



So let’s all take a page out of sheriff D.T.’s book and keep ourselves safe when we are out and about. The world is a crazy place and there are people out there that will hurt you over nothing at all and it won’t affect them a bit. So please be safe and consider carrying some form of non-lethal self defense with you be it a defensive spray, stun device or personal alarm of some type. Hopefully you will never have to use it but if you do need one and don’t have it? Ouch. That will be a horrible day.

Apartment Alarms Are Great For People Who Don’t Enjoy Being Robbed


Let me explain to you what I had in my apartment when I was in my twenties and living alone in the city. Nothing. I mean I had objects that might be referred to as tables as you could technically set something on them but in all seriousness if someone robbed me and took every last thing in my apartment I would be out maybe 200 bucks. He might have taken the Nintendo 64 and although that would have hurt immeasurably it wouldn’t have been an earth shattering financial event. Regardless of there being little of value in my apartment at the time I did have renters insurance in place and had anything been taken it would have been replaced with me losing nothing more than my deductible.



Unfortunately many renters take care to make sure their material items are insured but not necessarily the most important item of all, their peace of mind. What I mean is that when someone is the victim of a robbery what often happens is that they feel a sense of violation and insecurity that renters insurance can not replace. Fortunately I have not had to deal with that feeling but many of my customers have and the things they have told me make me glad I have not had to experience the same hardship. There’s a real sense of fear that can set in the night after a break in. Who was in here? Do I know them? Are they coming back? What the heck is going on? What was that noise? Am I talking out loud or am I just thinking these things?



The point is that renters insurance can help protect you from a financial loss but will do nothing to protect you from the mental and emotional toll that a break in can have on your sense of safety and security. A very inexpensive apartment alarm can however. Most apartment alarms work by emitting an extremely high decibel sound when a window or door has been breached and that really loud noise is almost always enough to deter a potential criminal from further entering the residence and why wouldn’t it be (unless the burglar is literally deaf)? Criminals don’t like being caught and as soon as they pop the window and hear a 130 decibel alarm screeching at them they are going to turn tail and book but by that point everyone within ear shot is on the lookout and that criminal has just increased his or her chances of being caught.



So please do yourself and those that love you a favor and consider installing one of these extremely effective yet affordable alarms in your own apartment or dorm.



Stay Safe.

Electronic Dog Repellers, For When Ubu Won’t Sit.

I am a dog lover. I have always had dogs and my current best friend, Kody is a 9 year old yellow labrador who I have had since he was a pup. My children ride this dog around the house like a carnival pony and my 2 year old son fails to understand that Kody is not indestructible. Like all good dogs Kody is extremely tolerant of all of this and it’s easy to tell he loves the kids every bit as much as we love him.




Unfortunately not all dogs are as loving, obedient and kind as Kody. Some dogs can be, for lack of better words, vicious killing machines. I truly believe that the vast majority of these vicious dogs are not born this way but made. Usually by low life scumbags who should never have the privilege of owning a dog in the first place. These types of dogs are awfully frightening because reason can not be talked into them. They have been programmed to attack and that is all that they know. Either that or long term abuse by irresponsible owners has made the dog afraid and untrusting of humans. One way or another these dogs are dangerous and if one gets close enough to attack you while you are out for a morning stroll you are in significant danger. Life threatening danger depending on the dog involved.



That is where something as inexpensive and easy to carry as an electronic dog repeller can be a real life saver (literally). These things work in two ways. The first is by emitting an extremely high frequency sound (20,000Hz-25,000Hz) that is discomforting to the dog but in no way harmful and can not be heard by the human ear. And, the second is a super bright LED flashing strobe that temporarily blinds and confuses the dog but again will not do any real harm to the creature.



These have also been used to help train dogs and I completely support its use in doing so as it is, once again, in no way shape or form harmful to the dog.



The fact that these are so portable makes them great for anyone but I always like to carry mine in the morning when I go for my daily run. Okay, maybe I don’t run daily but every other day. At least once a week. Listen, I’m going to start running again soon and when I do I wont have to worry about any of the scary dogs in my neighborhood.



Stay Safe.

My Favorite Things About Camping With Bear Spray Are The Camp Fires, Fresh Air And Not Being Mauled To Death By Bears




I really love camping. The fresh air, the sun, the campfires at night, the not being eaten by a 400 pound Black Bear, the smell of morning dew, the quiet tranquility that only a trip to the northern woods of Wisconsin can truly deliver. Unless the bear thing is happening to you. That is because that is one of the last things you want occurring while camping. Or anywhere really. I can’t think of too many times where I’m like “you know, this is good and all but I’d much rather be getting eaten by a bear right now”.



As such I never go anywhere near a forest without bear spray. I don’t own a gun and never will. I eat meat so I’d be a hypocrite if I said I’m against hunting but I don’t hunt myself because I just am not hip on having a gun around. That is in no way a slight against responsible gun owners who enjoy hunting and use what they kill to sustain their own life it is just my personal preference. What Guard Alaska bear spray does is prevent a bear attack by spraying the bear with a large dose of highly concentrated pepper spray. It is highly effective and certainly will give you a leg up in an otherwise doomed situation.



One thing to remember is to always have it accessible. Very accessible. When the immediate danger of a possible bear attack occurs it is because you are…



A. Very close to a bear that could very easily remove you throat for you.



and…



B. That close and have upset the bear for whatever reason.



Either way you are not going to have much time to think about where you may have packed the bear spray. Nor is the bear going to let you take a 2 minute ‘time-out’ while you think about it. You pretty much want to always have it on your person when you are out and about or what is the point of having it?



As always my intention is not to make light of what could be a very tragic event but hopefully to draw attention to a very safe and effective way to prevent such a tragic event.



Stay Safe.

And The Gods Of Non-Lethal Self Defense Said “Let There Be Light” And There Was The Stun Gun Flashlight. And it was good.




In olden days, before the age of electricity there wasn’t much in the way of non-lethal self defense. In the very early days of man an attacker could be stopped with a rock but often a rock could do serious damage to the Neanderthal attackers cranium and what Neanderthal knew how to repair a fractured skull? That attacker was dead.



Throughout time weapons have evolved but if you think about it there was never really much in the way of defending ones self without endangering the life of another. It began with rocks and then progressed to swords, axes, firearms, cannons, missiles, etc… you get the point. These are all fine and well if you have no regard for the other persons life. If someone comes at me with a knife and I shoot them with a very high caliber firearm I am probably going to stop the attack. And probably that mans heart. I don’t need that on my psyche but I do enjoy knowing I have the option to carry something that can be every bit as effective as many firearms at stopping an attacker and that I can do so without killing another person. We can keep a measure of compassion for human life and still protect ourselves effectively.



The stun gun flashlight is pretty next-level. A true marvel of modern ingenuity. As multi-functional as a device can get. It can keep you safe in so many ways. Let’s go ahead and come up with a completely hypothetical situation where this device could deliver protection in many ways. For one its a flashlight. When is the last time a flashlight wasn’t completely imperative when you needed it. Can you see in the dark? Are you a bat? Seriously, are you? Because that would be pretty cool.



Second, it is a 130 decibel alarm. Do you know what happens when you set off a 130 decibel alarm anywhere near civilization? People pay attention. Criminals stop breaking the law and run in fear of getting caught.



And last but not least it is a 200,000 volt stun gun. 200,000 volts that will completely and efficiently, yet non-lethally, incapacitate your attacker(s). It works by using a high voltage, low amperage current of electricity into the attackers body. It basically ends all normal neuromuscular activity until the current is stopped. Or in other words makes the attacker involuntarily lay down.



If only the Neanderthals would have had this technology.
