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.



Stay Safe.
