There has been a lot of attention given to the position of neighborhood watchman due to recent events in Florida and this attention has been brought because a young man unfortunately lost his life. I won’t bother rehashing the whole story except to say that there was a man involved who claims to have been doing his duty as neighborhood watch and apparently shot and killed another young man in what he claims to have been self-defense. Whether or not it was truly self-defense really has no bearing on the point of this blog as the point of this blog is to make people aware of the fact that there is a much better choice than a firearm for anyone working neighborhood watch. A whistle or personal alarm would be a much safer and humane alternative for someone patrolling their neighborhood than would a firearm. However if someone truly feels the need ,and perhaps this need is justified depending on which neighborhood we are talking about to carry a device that can effectively stop an attacker than how about a stun gun flashlight?
I don’t have enough time to write all of the many reasons why some neighborhood watchman should not be running around his or her neighborhood with a loaded gun, suffice to say it just isn’t a good idea and scares the heck out of me just thinking about it. Guns are designed to take lives and I don’t feel there is anyone, certainly not a neighborhood watchman, which is in a position to make a decision as to whether or not another human being should live or die. I think anyone that volunteers their time to patrol their neighborhood and make it a safer place to live is extremely noble and I commend those people and I certainly understand that those people should be protected themselves and have a means of effectively defending themselves against an attacker. The point is that there is a way for people to protect themselves without having to kill another person or even seriously injure themselves and that is with the stun gun flashlight.
It’s perfect for neighborhood watch programs because first and foremost it has a flashlight which is great for patrolling at night. Secondly, it has an alarm so if someone patrolling the neighborhood feels they are in danger they can always sound the alarm and have the attention of others drawn to their location. Lastly, if a neighborhood watchman is in serious trouble an attacker must be subdued the stun gun flashlight is also a 200,000 volt stun gun that will stop an attacker of any size. Unlike a handgun it will simply subdue the attacker and not kill them or even leave that attacker with any long lasting injuries.

Security Guards Should Carry Stun Batons Like The Stun Gun Flashlight
The job of security guard is one that is often underappreciated and undervalued. These people, although often found sitting alone with not much to do, are often the first, last and only line of defense that a business has in protecting their personal property. If an intruder should illegally enter privately secured property it is up to the security guard to stop this intruder by any means necessary. Surely these men and women deserve to perform their job with some form of protection but what should that protection be? The vast majority of security guards cannot, and in most cases should not, be armed with firearms and I don’t think I need to get into explaining why that is a bad idea as it should be obvious. So the question is what is a self-defense device that can be carried by security guards that is effective yet relatively safe and of course legal? The answer is a stun gun flashlight. I think these are great devices for just about anyone but they really seem custom made for security guards.
First of all the stun gun flashlight is a solid, extremely well built and sturdy flashlight and I can’t think of too many security guards that couldn’t use a flashlight. It also has an extremely high decibel alarm, great for alerting other security personnel that they might need assistance or for scaring the bejeezus out of any intruders. Lastly, the device is what the name implies, a stun gun. Not just a stun gun but a stun baton which is ultimately more effective than a traditional stun device as it gives the user the advantage of having more reach. This way the security guard doesn’t have to be quite as close to an intruder in order to subdue him.
Stun devices are certainly much safer than many other options for self-defense, like a firearm for example. They are also a much more humane alternative as they do not leave the attacker with any lasting side effects. Stun devices can also be every bit as effective as any option one may have for defending themselves. Some police studies have shown stun batons to be as effective as a 9mm handgun without having to take the life or even seriously injure anyone.
So if you are a security guard, know one or possibly employ one please strongly consider arming them with an effective, humane and legal means of defensing themselves with a stun gun flashlight.

A Stun Baton Flashlight Is The Ultimate Non-Lethal Self Defense Tool
Having been in the non-lethal self-defense business for many years I have seen a great deal of self-defense weapons come and go. Some were great and others not so great but the one that has always stood out as the very best and most effective in my opinion is the stun gun flashlight.
Stay Safe,
First and foremost the stun gun flashlight is a flashlight, and who couldn’t use a flashlight from time to time? The fact that the stun gun flashlight is a device you can use on a daily basis is what really sets it apart from its peers and what makes the device so extraordinary. Stun devices, especially stun batons are wonderful non-lethal self-defense tools but how often will they really be used? Hopefully never.
Stun devices, in my opinion, have an advantage over other non-lethal self-defense weapons like mace and pepper spray in that they don’t allow your opponent to “fight through the pain”. Defensive sprays are extremely effective but there is the small chance, especially if an attacker is under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, that the spray will not immediately and effectively stop the attack from proceeding. A stun device on the other hand leaves this attacker with no choice but to stop attacking. That is because a stun device like the stun gun flashlight does not work on the premise of causing an attacker pain but by completely disrupting the attacker’s neurological pathways. In other words it takes away the attackers ability to control their own body so it doesn’t matter how tough the attacker is or how high their pain threshold.
Stun batons like this one have an advantage over other more traditional stun devices in that they give the user more reach. With traditional handheld stun devices one must actually be touching an attacker in order for the device to work and subsequently subdue the attacker whereas with a stun baton one does not need to be nearly as close to an attacker in order for the baton to do the same job. The best analogy for this is to think about a boxer. One trait they always list before a fight is a boxer’s reach and with good reason as reach is a major advantage in a fight. If you don’t have to be as close to your opponent as your opponent does to you in order to deliver an effective strike then you have a major advantage over that opponent now don’t you?
So if you feel the need to carry a non-lethal self-defense tool I would hope that a device like the stun gun flashlight would be strongly considered.

I Hope Santa Brings Every Security Guard A Stun Baton For Christmas
Security guards are, in my opinion, one of the most misunderstood, underappreciated, and misrepresented professions in the entire world. They are so often portrayed and thought of as being under qualified and lazy when quite often the exact opposite is closer to the truth. Security guards are very often the first, last and only line of defense that a person or business has against intruders and that fact alone necessitates the need for security guards to have some measure of protecting themselves against these intruders.
Firearms are certainly not an option for the vast majority of security guards and for obvious reasons. The qualifications to be a security personnel are often not as strict as those to become a law enforcement agent and we do not need untrained or under qualified personnel roaming about with deadly weapons. Any option for a security guard should certainly be effective, to help protect the security guard, but also non-lethal, to help protect the general public. So where does that leave us? Well, it leaves us with several options for weapons of non-lethal self-defense. Pepper spray and stun guns being the two most prominent and reasonable alternatives to firearms.
Pepper spray is very effective and has the advantage of giving a security guard a safe distance from which to use this weapon as most defensive sprays have an effective range of about 6 to 8 feet. One disadvantage to pepper spray are that an assailant, although somewhat unlikely, could potentially fight through the pain of the pepper spray and continue attacking. Another disadvantage would be that the pepper spray could potentially be wrestled from the guard by the assailant and used against the guard. Stun guns are great because an attacker loses the ability to ‘fight through the pain’ because stun guns do not work on the premise of causing an attacker pain but completely incapacitating them by disrupting their normal neurological processes through the use of a high voltage electrical current. The disadvantage with traditional stun guns is that they lack any range and must be physically touching an attacker in order to work and that means extremely close combat situations which could prove disadvantageous for the guard. It should be noted that stun guns remain non-lethal as the current of electricity that they emit is high voltage but low amperage and it is in fact amps that prove fatal, not volts. This is where the stun baton can prove to be so useful. It combines the advantages of completely incapacitating an assailant with the reach of a pepper spray. The retractable stun baton by Stun Master, for example, measures almost 2 feet when fully extended and that allows the security guard another 2 foot cushion from which to work if he or she should find themselves in a physical confrontation with an intruder.
So if your business has security guards why don’t you do them a huge favor this Christmas and have Santa Claus bring them a stun baton this year. This will help ensure the safety of your security guard, the general public, your business and even the assailant.

Stun Gun Flashlights Are Perfect For Security Guards
Security guards are often portrayed as lazy, overweight, bumbling, and altogether inept when it comes to actually securing the place they are being paid to do so. I have worked as a security guard and still have some friends that are security personnel and I can say that I find that stereotype to be quite misleading and not a very realistic description of myself or the guys I know that are security guards. I think that stereotype derives from the fact that many security guards will never see any real “action” and will never have to use force to secure and protect an area but any security guard could potentially be called to do so at any time and many other professions will never understand the stress that goes along with that knowledge. Not to mention that some security personnel, depending on where they work, may see “action” quite a bit and have had to , or will have to, use force on multiple occasions to secure and protect. In cases like this we should give them every advantage to do so in the safest, most effective and humane way possible. This is why I feel the stun gun flashlight might just be the perfect tool for any security guard and I believe that for multiple reasons.
First and foremost the device is exactly what it says it is and that is a flashlight. What security personnel working at night couldn’t use a flashlight? A flashlight might very well be the most oft used tool in security guard history. Second, the device comes with a 130 decibel alarm that can be used to both deter unwanted trespassers and at the very least alert other security personnel that trespassers are on the grounds and that help may be needed. This alarm is also of great benefit to security guards and their employers as any altercation is best ended without getting physical and an alarm like this can certainly increase the chances that an altercation does end without it getting physical or anyone being injured.
Last but by no means least the device is a 200,000 volt stun baton, a far superior device to a traditional stun gun due to its reach. Again, it is obviously best for all parties involved if any and all altercations end without things getting physical as it assures that nobody is injured but what should a security guard do if things do need to get physical? The best bet is to have a weapon that is every bit as effective as possible but also humane enough to not leave a trespasser or assailant with any serious or lingering injuries. Stun devices do that by incapacitating an attacker with a high voltage blast of electricity but remains non-lethal by keeping that current of electricity low amperage. This can also avoid the security guard’s employer from being sued in a wrongful death or injury lawsuit.
