A stun gun is a wonderfully effective piece of non-lethal self-defense hardware and I think a device that any law abiding citizen should have the right to carry. If you are a senior citizen or female living alone and want to feel an extra sense of security without having to carry a firearm then a stun gun could certainly be exactly what you are looking for. However, before you decide to jump online and buy a stun gun there are some things to consider first.
First and foremost you have to make sure that owning and carrying a stun device is in fact legal in your area. Most states have no restrictions whatsoever on stun devices but 11 states do have some restrictions. Stun guns are completely illegal to buy, sell or own in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. In Wisconsin and Illinois stun guns are legal but with certain restrictions. In those two states one needs to basically have a legal firearms license in order to purchase and carry a stun device. I don’t want to get away from the point of this article but it always fascinates me when I see a state that makes a non-lethal self-defense device, like a stun gun, illegal but owning a firearm that kills thousands of people a year completely legal with the proper identification and licensure.
Secondly, it is extremely important to remember that although stun devices were designed as a non-lethal and more humane alternative to firearms they still possess the ability to injure or even kill (although fatalities due to stun devices is extremely rare). Any self-defense device that is going to be effective is certainly going to come with an inherent safety risk or it wouldn’t be effective now would it? With that in mind you need to treat a stun gun with the utmost care. Certainly never let anyone else handle it and if I need to tell you to keep a stun device away from children than I pray that you will never own one in the first place. These devices are not nearly as dangerous as a firearm but they are certainly still dangerous and should be treated as such. At home, especially if there are others living with you, you should keep your stun device in a lock box but close enough to retrieve the device should an intruder enter your residence.
So please consider buying a stun gun online if you are looking for a humane yet effective non-lethal self-defense weapon but as with any weapon use caution and careful consideration before doing so.
Stay Safe,

A Senior Citizen Self Defense Course Should Include The Proper Use Of Pepper Spray
I think self defense classes are great for just about anybody. Not only can they help teach you how to protect yourself in the event of an attack but they can also help build confidence, lose weight, and increase your overall mental and physical well-being. Seniors can absolutely benefit from self defense classes in the same way that people of any age can but I think it best that any course on self defense for seniors also include training seniors on the proper use of pepper spray. I don’t think pepper spray training is unique to senior citizens either and any law abiding citizen of any age could benefit from carrying and knowing how to use pepper spray. I just believe that seniors, more than any age group, could perhaps benefit the most from this training.
Seniors can certainly learn to defend themselves using only what they were born with, meaning their hands and feet, but a defensive spray like pepper spray can really be of great help especially if they are attacked by someone much bigger, stronger and faster than they are. Also, pepper spray training is something that can be taught in one class, as opposed to the weeks, months and years it can take to become proficient in any martial arts discipline. Some seniors may also be lacking the strength, speed and agility it takes to effectively execute many of the moves involved in martial arts. A 95 pound, 80-year old female is going to have problems fighting off a 200 pound, 25 year old attacker no matter how long she has been studying martial arts but the size and age difference can be immediately made up for if that 80-year old lady sprays her attacker in the face with pepper spray.
Like I stated earlier, the proper use of pepper spray is something that can be taught in just one class but I think the actual motion of drawing the pepper spray from a pocket or purse, aiming and spraying is something that can be (and should be) practiced in much the same way that one constantly practices a punch, kick or choke hold. When someone actually finds themself in a physical altercation with an attacker the person’s nerves can be rattled greatly and with the adrenaline flowing it is always best if the motions have been practiced to the point where it is second nature even under the most stressful moments.
So if you are a senior citizen, especially one living alone and unassisted, please consider a self defense course but also remember that training with a defensive spray should be part of the curriculum of that course.

Those In Charge Of Neighborhood Watch Might Want To Consider The Stun Gun Flashlight
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.

Earth Day Is A Wonderful Day To Enjoy Camping With Ozone Safe Guard Alaska Bear Spray
Earth Day is April 22nd and I for one cannot think of a better way to celebrate the beautiful planet we live upon that to get out and enjoy nature through the timeless tradition of camping. Camping is a great way for family and friends to enjoy the great outdoors, get exercise and breathe in the cool spring air that nature provides us with. Depending on where you go camping you must never forget to bring one particular item and that is Guard Alaska Bear Spray. If you do not have bear spray and ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of coming face to face with a frightened bear, well it might just be the last camping trip you ever take. Without Guard Alaska bear spray it might just be the last trip you take anywhere.
Earth Day is also a day to celebrate not just and preserve flora but fauna as well. We humans have done much to drastically reduce the amount of land that many animals called home. Bears in particular used to roam freely over a vast portion of North America until we humans wiped out a fair percentage of them and forced them into smaller and smaller areas to live. Fortunately there are still areas in North America where bears roam freely and many of those areas are beautiful places to go camping, like Yosemite National Park for one. When we go camping in places like Yosemite, or anywhere there is even the slightest possibility of seeing a bear we have to remember to bring along bear spray to protect ourselves but we must also think about these poor bears. You see bear attacks don’t occur because the bears involved are blood-thirsty beats just waiting to prey upon unsuspecting humans, they happen because the bear is concerned for its own safety and does not understand the human’s intentions. Bear spray, like pepper spray, although immensely effective causes no permanent damage to the man or creature being sprayed. The immensely painful burning sensation and swelling of the eyes is enough to stop any attacker, man or beast, but the effects wear off in a relatively short amount of time.
What is so wonderful about Guard Alaska bear spray is that its ingredients are 100% natural, as is almost any brand of pepper spray, and contains absolutely no harmful, ozone-depleting chemicals. So not only does this bear spray keep you and your loved ones safe but it keeps the bear safe and perhaps most importantly on Earth Day is the fact that it keeps Mother Nature safe.

If You Are Serious About Self Defense You May Want To Find Out Where To Buy Stun Guns
I am of the opinion that every law-abiding citizen should have the right to defend themselves using something other than their own body. This is especially true for people who may not be as adept at handling themselves in a physical altercation with an attacker, like senior citizens and females. I am not implying that senior citizens and women cannot handle themselves in a physical altercation but that I think most of us would like to know that are grandparents, mothers, sisters and daughters would have some extra help and insurance should the unfortunate event arise where they find themselves potentially fighting for their lives. The help I am talking about is a non-lethal self-defense weapon; more specifically I am referring to stun guns.
Stun devices are extremely effective self-defense weapon that can be every bit as effective, if not more effective in some cases, than a firearm. The difference is that the person upon whom the stun device was used gets to live to see the next day and in almost all cases gets to do so without any negative, long lasting side effects. The same can certainly not be said for an individual who has been shot with a firearm. If a person who has been shot with a firearm is lucky he or she will have merely a trip to the emergency room to deal with. If they are less lucky they will suffer the same fate that thousands of others suffer every year from gunshots, death. I believe that even scumbag criminal purse snatchers should have, at the very least, a chance to redeem themselves and they can’t very well do that if they are dead, can they?
Stun guns do not work by injuring an attacker, nor do they work on the principle of causing an attacker great pain, as is the case with defensive sprays like mace and pepper spray. Stun guns work by incapacitating an attacker by disrupting his or her neurological pathways via an electrical current. Because the electric shock given off by the device actually disrupts their neurological pathways it makes it impossible for the attacker to “fight through the pain” as could be the case with something like pepper spray or even a firearm and is exactly what makes a stun device so effective. The electrical current is high voltage but low amperage and that is what makes the device such a humane alternative to other weapons as amps is actually what kills and not voltage as many wrongfully assumed.
There are literally hundreds of online stores that sell stun devices but it is important to check with your state and local laws to ensure that carrying such a device is in fact legal in your state. So please consider a stun device if you are interested in ensuring your own safety via a non-lethal self-defense tool.

The Cell Phone Stun Gun Is a Wonderful Alternative to Lethal Weaponry
There is not a day that goes by where multiple people in the United States are not killed by guns. Gun violence has become so commonplace that what I just said probably does not surprise or shock you in the very least and that in and of itself is truly a tragedy. I live in the third most populated city in the United States and one that is well known for its crime rate and I will admit that the few times I watch the evening news (I prefer getting my news from a paper and I can pick and choose what sections of the paper to read) I view the gun violence stories and they are instantly forgettable to me. Forgettable because the next day there will be more new stories of people killed by guns that I can forget about until the next day after that when a new wave of fatalities hits the evening news. So every day that we wake up in the morning another parent will lose their child, child will lose their parent, friends will lose friends and hundreds of lives will forever be devastatingly altered because of firearms. Even if a firearm fatality occurs as an act of self-defense rarely does it not cause a great deal of grief for multiple people associated with either the shooter or the deceased. What makes this even more unfortunate is that it doesn’t have to be this way. It is possible to effectively defend yourself without having to resort to the use of a firearm and that is with something as simple as a cell phone stun gun.
The cell phone stun gun, like all stun guns, is an extremely effective non-lethal self-defense weapon designed to incapacitate an attacker using a jolt of high voltage electricity. The high voltage is what completely disrupts the attacker’s neurological pathways and essentially takes away the control they have over their own bodies. However, this disruption is temporary and because the jolt of electricity is also low amperage it does not kill the attacker nor does it leave them with any lasting negative side effects. Contrary to what some people may believe it is not volts that kill a person when they are electrocuted but amps.
Lastly, the cell phone stun gun is something many people can feel comfortable carrying because it is not so obvious that you are carrying a weapon of self-defense. This device looks exactly like a real cell phone upon even the closest of inspection. So please consider this alternative self-defense item if you really must carry something.

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.

Top 5 Reasons To Carry Guard Alaska Bear Spray While Outdoors
One should never even entertain the idea of camping without Guard Alaska bear spray. The reasons for this should be obvious but here are, in my opinion, the top 5…
Reason no. 5 – Bears are stronger than you are. The bears found in North America, even the smaller black bears which only weigh on average of about 300 pounds, are all much stronger than you are and extremely capable of taking your life. Bear attacks are not very common but they do happen and when they do there is rarely anything short of a catastrophic injury or death as a result.
Reason no. 4 – Guard Alaska spray is extremely effective. Guard Alaska is so effective in fact that it is the only repellent registered by the EPA to repel all species of bear. After all, what good is having a tool of self defense against bears if the tool does not work? If you have any doubts about bear spray’s effectiveness in repelling bears I suggest you check out the multiple videos on YouTube of bear spray being tested in real life situations. Some studies have shown this product to be as effective, and in some cases more effective, than most firearms in repelling bears.
Reason no. 3 – Guard Alaska spray is much safer than alternative means of self defense against bear attack. Actually, aside from bear spray what else is there that would be at all effective aside from a firearm? And if I have to explain why taking a loaded firearm with you on a family camping trip might be somewhat unsafe then you have bigger problems than can be solved by reading this blog.
Reason no. 2 – Guard Alaska is environmentally safe. There are absolutely no ozone-depleting ingredients in Guard Alaska spray. That should be great news for any outdoor enthusiasts. What lover of the outdoors would want to be spraying something into the air that is destroying the outdoors?
Reason no. 1 – Last but certainly not least bear spray is a humane alternative to firearms for repelling a bear. Guard Alaska repellent, much like pepper spray for humans, is extremely effective and will cause pain and temporary blindness by way of swollen mucus membranes but will not leave any permanent or long lasting effects for the bear. Bears were technically here first and we’ve pushed them out of the vast majority of their native land already, let’s not kill them while we are at it shall we? Besides, bear attacks do not often happen because the bear is some sort of blood-thirsty monster. These attacks happen because a human has unwillingly, and perhaps unknowingly, crossed paths with a bear and the bear is frightened for itself or for its cubs.

The Top 5 Reasons To Buy A Cell Phone Stun Device
There are many reasons to carry a tool of non-lethal self-defense with you at all times. Here, in my opinion, are the top 5…
Reason no. 5 – The Cell Phone Stun Gun is ultra-powerful and when I say ultra-powerful I am talking about 4.5 million volts of attack-stopping powerful. You won’t find many stun devices that pack more power than that. The majority of stun devices fall in the 100k-200k volts category on average. 4.5 million volts is enough to stop even the most hardened and viscous attacker dead in their tracks. After all, what good is having a weapon of non-lethal self-defense if that weapon is not effective in actually stopping an attack?
Reason no. 4 – The Cell Phone Stun Gun is incognito and looks exactly like a real cell phone upon even the closest of inspections. This is great because many people might be intimidated by openly carrying a weapon of non-lethal self-defense. With this device one needn’t worry about drawing others attention with a device that is obviously a weapon. Seeing as it is small and compact, like the real cell phone that it pretends to be, people can easily fit it into a purse or pocket and feel even less intimidated and uneasy about openly carrying a weapon.
Reason no. 3 – They are easy to use and require no special training. One needs to simply turn the safety off and press the trigger switch and the device will send a jolt of high voltage electricity to the attacker.
Reason no. 2 – The Cell Phone Stun Gun is very safe, certainly much safer than alternative means of self-defense like a firearm. Also you needn’t worry about accidentally shocking yourself with this device as it comes with two levels of safety 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. Also, even if the attacker is touching you while you shock him there is no shock back involved.
Reason no. 1 – Last but certainly not least this device is a much more humane alternative to other forms of self-defense (i.e. guns, knives, bats, fists, etc.). Stun guns work so well in incapacitating an attacker because they send a high voltage shock. They remain non-lethal and rarely cause any lasting effects after a few minutes because that same shock of high voltage electricity is also low amperage. Contrary to belief it is not volts that kill a person, it is amps that prove deadly.

I Think Anti-Gun Advocates Should Be Pro-Stun Device
I would not describe myself as being anti-gun because I do believe in our 2nd amendment rights and that people who have proven themselves to be law-abiding, respectful, drug-free citizens should have the right to bear arms for protection. However, as with most major issues I do not side myself fully with anyone person or party. I can usually, at the very least, understand both sides of an argument relating to a major topic like gun control. I understand that guns cause injuries and fatalities every day and if I’m being honest I would say that if every gun on the planet vanished into thin air right this second we might live in a more peaceful world. However that will not be the case and if the bad guys of the world have access to firearms I feel it is a law-abiding citizen’s constitutional right to protect themselves and their families with a firearm as well.
I have a friend who is a staunch anti-gun advocate and he knows that I am employed in the non-lethal self-defense industry. He is not quite as passionate about being anti-stun gun as he is anti-gun but he is nonetheless against stun devices of any kind as well. This I do not understand as stun devices, including tasers, do not mortally wound an attacker and still allow innocent people to defend themselves in an effective manner. My friend argues that although stun devices are listed as non-lethal they still have proven to be fatal on multiple occasions. I argue back that the world 'multiple' would be more properly replaced with 'extremely rare' and that the stun device could not be the least bit effective without some inherent level of danger. The truth of the matter is that any instrument of self defense could prove fatal in rare circumstances but the amount of fatalities resulting from the use of a stun gun pales in comparison to that of a firearm. More than 99% of the time the attacker is left with no lasting adverse physical effects whatsoever. The same cannot be said for just about anything else that has ever been used as a weapon of self-defense from a firearm to knives to fists.
I truly cannot think of another device that is as humane as the stun gun while still remaining effective enough to actually protect a person against attack. The whole reason stun devices were invented was to give law enforcement and private citizens alike the ability to defend themselves without having to take a life or severely injure another. Again this is merely my opinion but I can’t for the life of me understand why any anti-gun advocate would be against stun devices.

This I do not understand as stun devices, including tasers, do not mortally wound an attacker and still allow innocent people to defend themselves in an effective manner. My friend argues that although stun devices are listed as non-lethal they still have proven to be fatal on multiple occasions. I argue back that the world 'multiple' would be more properly replaced with 'extremely rare' and that the stun device could not be the least bit effective without some inherent level of danger. The truth of the matter is that any instrument of self defense could prove fatal in rare circumstances but the amount of fatalities resulting from the use of a stun gun pales in comparison to that of a firearm. More than 99% of the time the attacker is left with no lasting adverse physical effects whatsoever. The same cannot be said for just about anything else that has ever been used as a weapon of self-defense from a firearm to knives to fists.
I truly cannot think of another device that is as humane as the stun gun while still remaining effective enough to actually protect a person against attack. The whole reason stun devices were invented was to give law enforcement and private citizens alike the ability to defend themselves without having to take a life or severely injure another. Again this is merely my opinion but I can’t for the life of me understand why any anti-gun advocate would be against stun devices.

If You Are A Senior Living Alone You Should Consider Pepper Spray As A Means Of Self Defense
There are more senior citizens in the world today than at any other point in history. Heck, there are just a lot more people in the world today period. This means that there is now an abundance of elderly people living alone and unfortunately elderly people are often targeted by scumbag criminals that consider senior citizens ‘easy prey’. As I stated before there are a lot more people in the world period and that means a lot more of these scumbag criminals. Just because a criminal is a conscienceless jerk does not mean that they are stupid and as such they are smart enough to know who makes an easier target for a purse snatching between a 25-year old and a 76-year old grandmother. Time eventually slows all of us down just a tad and takes the edge off of our senses and naturally we lose a bit of the ability to defend ourselves in a physical confrontation. Because of this fact senior citizens, especially those living alone, need to carry with them some means of self-defense. Pepper spray is an extremely effective tool of self-defense that is suitable for almost any senior citizen living unassisted.
There are other options available for senior citizens when it comes to non-lethal self-defense weapons but none, in my opinion, are as effective, relatively safe and easy to use as pepper spray. A person needs no special training to use pepper spray and it’s legal to carry in almost every part of the country. Stun devices and Tasers are also extremely effective in stopping an attacker, as effective as a 9mm handgun according to some police tests, but do require at least some basic training and I feel these devices are much more dangerous and hence I do not recommend them for most seniors. Tasers and stun devices are also illegal in many more areas than are defensive sprays. Pepper spray also can be used by
Pepper spray usually has an effective range of about 6-8 feet depending on the brand, spray canister, and wind conditions. It works by causing intense pain to the attacker’s mucus membranes such as eyes, nose and throat. Not only that but because capsicum, the pepper spray’s active ingredient, is a highly potent inflammatory it also causes swelling in the eyes which temporarily blinds an attacker and makes it almost impossible to continue an attack.
So if you are a senior, or anyone for that matter, living alone please arm yourself with something non-lethal, extremely effective and legal like pepper spray.

Tasers Have Been Wrongfully Vilified
In 2009 a gentleman by the name of Jack Cover passed away and very few people will ever recognize that name. It’s a shame really because Cover’s invention, one he invented in 1974, has saved more lives than we may ever know. His invention was the Taser gun and the very intention of the Taser gun is to save lives, plain and simple. It was invented to give police an alternative to firearms as an effective means of self-defense. Unfortunately for Mr. Cover his invention is often looked at in a negative light.
I would say at least half the YouTube videos that feature a Taser and police in any way are featuring it with the intention of showing it as an example of the police in the video using excessive force. Of those I would say that a very small portion are anything even close to resembling excessive force. I won’t say all though and I understand that there are just some meat-head police officers that do use excessive force and it’s unfortunate. Although it does kind of highlight my point that Tasers shouldn’t be so quickly vilified. If I’m going to have a police officer use excessive force on me with a weapon I can think of a lot worse weapon to be attacked with than a Taser like a .357 for example. My preference would to be attacked by neither but you understand my point. Tasers save lives when it’s the alternative to a weapon like a firearm that leaves a gaping hole in a human that needs to be closed by a doctor or the human will die.
Tasers have killed people but the percentage is unbelievably small, much smaller than any weapon on Earth, including guns, knives, swords, bats, chairs and possibly fists when it comes to anything that has ever been used as a weapon. Any item of self-defense that is even the least bit effective is obviously going to come with some inherent level of danger. The weapon would be useless and ineffective if it didn’t at least have the potential to harm, especially if used inappropriately or incorrectly.
At the end of the day though Tasers were designed by Mr. Cover to allow police to defend themselves and/or subdue an unruly and dangerous perpetrator without having to take that individual's life or severely injure them with a firearm. So before we condemn an instrument of non-lethal self-defense like the Taser let us consider what it was designed to be an alternative to, the firearm.

Finding The Proper Self Defense For Seniors Could Be As Easy As Knowing Where To Buy Stun Guns
The senior citizen population is one that is growing with each new day as the last of the baby boomers hit retirement age. What this often means for these newly retired baby boomers is more free time spent outdoors, alone and relatively unprotected. What this means for the scumbag criminal purse snatchers of the world is more targets to rob of their jewelry, money and in some unfortunate cases, life. However, there is a humane, legal, effective and safe way for these senior citizens to protect themselves and that is with a stun gun.
The word stun gun immediately brings to many peoples mind an illegal torturous device of an almost medieval quality meant to punish, maim and destroy anything in its path when the truth is quite the opposite. Stun devices were built as a non-lethal alternative to firearms, one that was meant to effectively stop an attacker without robbing that attacker’s parents of their child or children of their father. Stun guns were built on the principal of live and let live and that is why I feel they deserve our praise and not our disdain. They are also quite safe and that is why I feel they can make a wonderful tool of self defense for anyone but especially some senior citizens.
The fact of the matter is that senior citizens are at a higher risk of being attacked then their younger counterparts and the reason for that is quite simple. Criminals with intent to rob someone are going to rob those that they feel will offer them the least resistance. If you could put yourself in the shoes of such a criminal for just a moment I would ask you just one question and that is this, ‘all things being equal, would you be more likely to try and physically take something from a 70 year old or a 35 year old?’. Obviously it would depend on some things but on average the 70 year old is much more likely to appeal to a criminal than is a 35 year old. The simple fact of the matter is that age does eventually slow us down a bit and in the process makes us less capable of fending off a physical assault. So why not give these seniors a way to legally and effectively defend themselves against these criminals? That is exactly what stun guns do; level the playing field against these bad people. There are of course exceptions and stun guns, like any other self-defense device, are not suitable for everybody. Here is the rule of thumb I use for recommending stun devices to seniors, if you can legally operate an automobile you should by all means be capable of operating a stun device. A half ton of steel cruising at 65 miles per hour is certainly a bigger responsibility and far more dangerous than any stun device ever made.

Occupy Wall Street Has Led To Yet Another Incident That Has Given Tasers A Bad Name
Poor Tasers. Once again another incident has occurred that has caused great harm to a wonderful product and once again Tasers have been unjustly vilified. Yet again tasers are being looked at as an evil torturous weapon, yielded by crooked, blood-thirsty cops against meek and innocent do-gooders who did not deserve such harsh and foul treatment. What a crock of (expletive deleted). It’s a shame really because Tasers, manufactured by Taser International, were designed to be a non-lethal alternative to firearms. Let’s think about that for a second. It seems anytime a Taser is used we hear cries about how it was used unfairly but the simple fact of the matter is that I’d rather be tased than shot (or stabbed, beaten, clubbed, etc…) any day of the week. Tasers don’t leave people dead or even with any lasting injuries, Tasers simply incapacitate. They have given law enforcement and private citizens a way to protect themselves and others without having to kill another human being. Instead of vilifying Tasers we should be praising them.
Okay, the Occupy Wallstreet incident I am referring to is the latest one from Washington D.C. where a gentleman in his pajamas is tased. The video can be found on YouTube and after viewing the video I was astonished at reading some of the posts by the ignoramuses of the world trying to suggest that this was somehow an abuse of power buy the police who tased this pajama clad idiot. Listen, you can clearly hear the guy saying “I’ve done nothing wrong” and perhaps that is true but you know what you should do when multiple officers of the law are telling you to stop and cooperate even if you haven’t done anything? You stop and cooperate. If you are being unfairly punished then talk to a lawyer and go after those crooked cops in a legal and sane fashion. This protestor is screaming about how he’s done nothing wrong as he’s trying to run from cops and flailing his arms and legs to avoid them restraining him. That’s called resisting arrest and the lady officer trying to subdue him is half his size. If a 120 pound female officer is trying to get a 200 pound man to stop struggling and play nice and he won’t listen that officer has every right, if not the obligation to those around her to tase that moron. Saying anything to the contrary is just nonsense in my opinion. Should she use a gun next time, how about her fists or maybe a night stick? Think about it logically. If the guy is really innocent and hadn’t done anything he has just hurt his chances at a countersuit against the officer by resisting arrest like the moron that he is.
Tasers have absolutely, emphatically, unquestionably saved many lives since their introduction but they always receive a bad rap and it is something that just really irks me. If a law enforcement officer or private citizen abuses the power Tasers yield and wrongfully tases someone then they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law but this was yet another case where that was not the case.

Ladies, Want To Know What To Get Him For Valentine’s Day? A Cell Phone Stun Gun
Valentine’s Day has traditionally been a holiday where gifts are exchanged but the emphasis of this gift exchange has primarily been on the female. What her boyfriend or husband (hopefully she does not have both) should get her for Valentine’s Day has been a question as old as the holiday itself. Flowers, candy and flowers are the traditional gifts involved and that is all well and good but what about the guys? Don’t they deserve a little something from the ladies this year? Something that lets these men know the women really care about them? I have an idea for a gift the ladies can get their men this year for Valentine’s Day, a cell phone stun gun. It’s uniquely original, which will show how thoughtful you are, and it’s relatively high tech and as we all know men love gadgets. Also it is a device that could very well save his life one day and it doesn’t get much more romantic than saving someone’s life, does it? You should explain to your boyfriend or husband that a non-lethal self-defense item like the cell phone stun gun is not your way of saying that he cannot handle himself in the event of a physical altercation but that he needn’t worry about such things when he’s got the 4.5 million volts of stopping power with him that the stun gun provides.
When he first sees the cell phone stun gun he will assume that what you have given him for a gift is in fact a real cell phone as the cell phone stun gun and a really cell phone are completely and utterly indistinguishable from one another, even upon the closest of inspections. This may confuse him at first but rest assured that once you explain that it is in fact an extremely powerful concealed stun device he will think it is one of the coolest things he has ever received.
Stun devices like this work not by injuring or causing great pain to an assailant but by delivering a high voltage, low amperage (contrary to common belief it is amps that kill, not volts) current of electricity that completely disrupts and incapacitates the attackers central nervous system. The good news for your boyfriend is that he gets to come home safe to you, the good news for the attacker is that he gets to take a ride in a police car with no lasting physical ailments.
So please think outside the box this Valentine’s Day and get your man something he’ll really love and more importantly, can really use.
Happy Valentine’s Day,

Think Outside The Box (Of Chocolates) This Valentine’s Day And Get Her Pepper Spray
There are two ways you can play Valentine’s Day this year. You can get your significant other what every other man is getting his sweetheart or you can be thoughtful and original. If you want to get what every other man is getting his sweetheart you’ll want to go the candy, flowers or jewelry route. This is all fine and well and you will find plenty of women who enjoy candy, flowers and jewelry (my wife included) but why be like everyone else and get another forgettable gift on another forgettable holiday? If you ask me getting your significant other candy, flowers or jewelry simply says ‘I only care enough to get what society tells me I should be getting you on this day and not enough to have an original thought and get you something unique’. Go ahead and write that in the card you give your girlfriend along with her red roses and see what her reaction is.
Now, the other alternative is to get your sweetie something completely original and something she can really use and that is pepper spray. I know that doesn’t sound very romantic but if you think about it what is the message you are sending when giving your Valentine a canister of pepper spray? Ito me personally it says that you care very much for her and want her to be protected at all times. Feeling protected and wanting to be protected is something that is very basic for all human beings and your significant other is certainly no exception. A box of chocolate or half dozen long stemmed roses is fine and dandy but it isn’t going to do her any good when she’s walking alone without you and is attacked by a mugger. Pepper spray on the other hand will put that mugger in his place and make sure your sweetheart gets home safe. And defensive sprays like pepper spray and mace are non-lethal and leave no lasting side effects so giving her pepper spray for Valentine’s day will show her that you are not only interested in protecting her but that you also care deeply for your fellow man. Protective and caring are two wonderful character traits that any woman adores. So do yourself and your loved one a favor this Valentine’s Day and get her something she can really use, pepper spray. Just so you know, defensive sprays come in all colors including pink.
Happy Valentine’s Day,
Carl Vouer

Handheld Metal Detectors And Stun Batons Are Security Guard Essentials
Security guards are often trusted with securing not only a person or business’s property but often they are in charge of securing people’s well-being and ultimately their lives. Security guard is a profession that is sometimes looked at as being “cushy” and I think it is a bit unfair when you consider exactly what is being asked of these security professionals and oftentimes the responsibility that is bestowed upon them, especially when you consider what many of them are earning. Any wise business owner that is employing security guards should definitely consider arming these brave men and women with 2 things, and those are stun batons and handheld metal detectors.
Let’s first discuss the importance of handheld metal detectors and why they are an absolute must for some security personnel. Obviously these metal detectors are not going to be useful for all security professionals but any that are in charge of screening people when they enter an establishment should have one without question. Handheld metal detectors are reasonably inexpensive, especially when one considers that we are talking about a device that can literally save lives, require no special training to use and are extremely effective in detecting even the tracest amounts of metal. They are also self-calibrating which means they don’t have to have their sensitivity settings messed with on a constant basis. The alternative to these security scanners is of course to have security professionals do the old fashioned pat down at the door which is more time consuming, ineffective and potentially uncomfortable for both security guard and patron alike.
Stun batons are something I think a much larger group of security guards should possess. After all, security guards are often the first, last and only line of defense and this could potentially mean involving themselves in a physical altercation. For the salary most of these professionals are making the least their employers could do would be to arm these professionals with a means of defending themselves in an effective, non-lethal, humane and legal way. This can all be accomplished with a stun baton. Stun batons, like all stun devices work by incapacitating the attacker using a very powerful, yet non-lethal current of electricity that interrupts and disables the attacker’s neurological pathways. Stun batons are another device which take no special training to operate and are a much better alternative to firearms or fists in the event of an attack.
If you are a security guard or have security professionals in the employ of your company please make sure these brave men and women are armed with one or both of these devices as it could very well mean the difference between life and death.

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.

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.
Stay Safe,

A Stun Gun Flashlight Can Make A Unique And Useful Christmas Gift
Think back to all of the past Christmas’s you can remember and try to think of one useful gift you have received that you use on a regular basis. I can only think of one offhand and that is the Brookfield Zoo family pass that my dear Mother gifts my family every year with. I would say that family pass saves me about 500 dollars or more a year in discounts and free admission. I would definitely consider that a useful gift and certainly one that I use more than any Christmas sweater I have ever received. No Christmas sweater, regardless of how stylish and handsome they may have been, was going to light my way if the power in my house went out or I was hiking in the woods behind my house at night. You sure as heck aren’t going to see Grandma knit a Christmas sweater that is going to come with an attachable red cone, like the stun gun flashlight does, that helps keep you visible during roadside emergencies at night. If you know how scary and potentially dangerous it can be to have to change a tire on the side of the highway at night then you will know just how splendidly useful something as simple as this attachable roadside emergency cone can be. Now, I have seen some loud Christmas sweaters in my day but I’ve never seen one that is literally and audibly as loud as the 130 decibel alarm that comes with the stun gun flashlight. That’s plenty loud enough to scare a potential attacker silly and draw the attention of anyone in the area. Last but not least if this attacker ignore the alarm and decides to continue his attack I can assure you that no Christmas sweater is going to save you but the 200,000 volt stun mechanism on this stun gun flashlight certainly can. 200,000 volts is more than enough to incapacitate even the most fierce and grinch-iest of attackers.
Seeing as it is Christmas time and a season of giving in general I think it is important to point out that the stun gun flashlight, like all non-lethal self-defense products, is not only non-lethal but should in almost every single case leave your attacker dazed and confused but without any permanent damage or side effects other than possibly instilling a desire to not break the law again, which could prove very beneficial to said attacker if he wants anything good for Christmas next year. So please consider such a device for anyone on your list that you would like the comfort of knowing can be protected from an attacker at all times.
Stay Safe,

You May As Well Leave Your Door Wide Open If You’re Not Going To Install Apartment Alarms
If you are currently renting an apartment and that is your primary residence I hope that you have already had the presence of mind to install 1 or more, very inexpensive, very basic apartment alarms to secure this apartment. If you have not done so you should probably just leave your door wide open next time you head off to work in the morning. While you are at it why don’t you leave a helpful little note for any potential burglars informing them as to where they can find the most valuable items so that they don’t have to waste any time and can hopefully get away scott free. You could assist these home invaders even more by leaving a dolly for any heavy items that would otherwise take an extra burglar or two to carry. Plus you wouldn’t want any burglar to hurt themselves carrying all of your belongings down to the van so that they can go sell it on the black market, would you? Now before you go and read this and think I am just being a smart aleck, please understand that it is obvious I am joking but to do the things I just mentioned don’t seem too terribly insane compared to not installing something as simple and affordable as an apartment alarm to protect all of your worldly possessions and the peace of mind and feeling of security that doing so can instill.
The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of apartments have no security measures in place to help protect against break in. What makes this fact harder to stomach is that, contrary to belief, an apartment is more likely to be broken into than is a single family home, yet a higher percentage of single family homes have security devices installed and those are much more expensive and much more complicated to install than are your average apartment alarms.
One argument that I hear all too often is the “well I’m not concerned, I have renters insurance”. Really? You aren’t concerned with criminals breaking into the place you sleep (potentially while you are still there sleeping!) and rummaging through your stuff to decide which items to take for themselves? Is your renters insurance policy going to deflect bullets if one of those criminals should happen to have a gun and doesn’t feel like leaving any witnesses when you startle him by walking in on him robbing you? the answer is no it is most certainly not going to stop bullets and for that matter neither will an apartment alarm but what an apartment alarm will do, that a renters insurance policy cannot, is thwart this criminals entry before it even starts.
If a burglar has any brains whatsoever and hears an extremely loud wailing siren go off when he goes to open your door or break a window that burglar is most likely going to turn tail and run like the coward he really is. No burglar wants to be caught or they wouldn’t be very successful burglars now would they? So please do yourself an immense favor and secure an apartment alarm for yourself and install it before it is too late.
Stay Safe,
