How Can Seniors Defend Themselves? Try Personal Alarms.

I have been asked by many of my older customers whether or not a personal alarm might be of use to them. Although no two people are alike, and hence any two situations will vary, I have put together this brief checklist to help ascertain whether or not a personal alarm would be beneficial to you personally.


1. Are you professional MMA fighter and former multi-sport hall-of-fame athlete Herschel Walker?

2. Are you under the constant surveillance and protection of a personal security team?

3. Do you enjoy having your wallet and other valuables taken from you with violent force?


If you answered ‘no’ to all three of these questions than I would be extremely confident in saying that a personal alarm could be an immensely useful and possibly life-saving device for you to own. If you said yes to any of these questions than I would still be confident in saying that a personal alarm might just be worth picking up in the event one is needed.

Personal alarms truly are a device that I feel every man, woman and child should own as they are the only non-lethal self-defense tool I can think of that is 100% safe and carries zero risk of injury. The same can certainly not be said for firearms, stun guns, mace, pepper spray, knives, chains, bats, etc…, all of those weapons can be wildly effective but they also can be wildly dangerous and can often cause severe injuries and death. Personal alarms emit no deadly projectile, electric charge or dangerous spray, they work solely by emitting an extremely loud siren that works to distract, confuse and frighten a potential assailant.

Now let’s say that your assailant is deaf, stupid or high on drugs or maybe all three, then what? What if the 130 decibel alarm does nothing to deter the assailant? Well as long as everybody living in a quarter mile radius is not deaf, stupid or high on drugs then you are going to have a great deal of attention directed towards you and Mr. assailant, the kind of attention that gets police called. And to be honest I think the vast majority of criminals are smart enough to understand that getting caught is not a good idea if one wants to have any success in their criminal lifestyle and as such I think many (if not all) will run as soon as that alarm goes off. 130 decibels is extremely loud and if one considers that the average rock concert is about 120-125 decibels than you really get a sense of how loud these things can get. So when one is contemplating the ways in which senior citizens (or anyone for that matter) can defend themselves please consider these personal alarms.
