The Stun Gun Flashlight is 4 Tools in One

I eat, sleep, live and breathe non-lethal self-defense weapons and before you take that to mean I’m somehow prone to violence please let me explain as it’s quite the opposite. I would love to live in a world free of hate, greed, violence or weapons of any kind but the simple fact of the matter is that is just not the case and it never will be. As such I want people to be safe and have a way to protect themselves in the event they find themselves involved in a violent physical assault. At the same time I value human life and truly do believe there is some good in just about every human being no matter how dastardly their actions might be. Because of this fact I don’t feel every person that attacks another should be dealt with by killing that person. Firearms are wildly effective self-defense tools but they have a nasty habit of killing people and as such I am anti-gun all the way. A much more humane, non-lethal alternative is a stun device. A stun device can be every bit as effective as a firearm at stopping an assailant without having to end that assailant’s life. One of my favorite, if not my all out favorite, stun devices is the stun gun flashlight.

Why do I love this contraption they call the stun gun flashlight so much? Because it is not just a stun device but a multi-purpose, multi-functional tool that can be used on a daily basis. First and foremost it is a 200,000 volt stun gun with more reach than the average stun device at 16.5 inches which really makes it more of a stun baton. Perfect for stopping an assault without having to get as up close and personal as one would have to with a traditional stun device.

It is also equipped with a 130 decibel alarm, perfect for drawing the attention of anyone in a quarter mile radius that isn’t as deaf as a post. A 130 decibel alarm is also good for scaring the holy hell out of an attacker before they get close enough to do any real damage. I’m confident that the vast majority of criminals would turn tail and run as soon as that alarm starts wailing.

Third, the stun gun flashlight has a detachable red cone which is perfect for signaling or danger warning during roadside emergencies. If you’ve ever had to change a tire at night, especially on a busy street or freeway, you can certainly appreciate how stressful the situation can be and how dangerous it is if other cars can’t see you from a distance.

Last but not least it’s a flashlight (hence the name, huh?). Who among us doesn’t need a flashlight now and again? For all of these reasons I truly love the stun gun flashlight.

Stun Batons Might Be the Perfect Tool for Security Guards

Depending on local jurisdictions and the rules set forth by individual employers, I believe that just about every security guard should be equipped with Stun Master stun batons. Stun batons are extremely effective non-lethal self-defense weapons that might not be suitable for any and everyone but certainly seem to be ideal for security guards. Stun batons are noticeably larger than normal stun devices and even when closed are still a tad longer than a foot, 13 inches to be exact. So these devices aren’t going to be concealed in a very practical manner which means more often than not they will be carried in a holster and visible to anyone. Not so ideal for a pedestrian but certainly ideal for security guards. Security personnel should command peace and order and nothing says ‘play nice in here’ like a stun baton strapped to one’s side.

These devices work in the same way that other stun devices work, by emitting a high voltage, 800,000 volts in this case, low amperage current of electricity that causes an assailant’s neurological pathways to be disrupted. That’s fancy talk for ‘make’s the assailant lose control over their own body, muscles spasm, and stop doing whatever bad thing they were doing’. The fact that these devices are low amperage is what keeps them from taking a life and high voltage is what makes them so amazingly effective in stopping even the most aggressive of attackers.

When fully extended these batons reach 21.5 inches and will shock through clothing. The full retractable metal part of the baton becomes electrified giving its user much more surface area with which to work while subduing a bad guy. And should the bad guy try to grab the baton from a security guard he will feel the full force of what 800,000 volts of justice can do. And you needn’t worry about a bad guy that is being shocked touching the security guard because the current will not pass through. Truly an amazing piece of hardware, is it not?

What’s nice about these devices is that they are not just stun guns but also a completely multi-functioning piece of equipment that comes with a built in flashlight, perfect for security personnel working at night, and a 120 decibel alarm to help call others should a problem arise. 120 decibels is roughly as loud as a rock concert so unless the other security guards are deaf as a post they should come running.

Last but not least I will say this, a stun baton does not have to touch an attacker in order to be effective and let me explain what I mean with a hypothetical example. Let us say that a security guard in a warehouse sees a man entering the warehouse who he knows should not be there. “Stop” he can say and let us now say that the unauthorized intruder begins approaching the security guard with a menacing look on his face. Now the security guard can unsheathe the baton and give one more stern “Stop!” If this does not do the trick the security guard could extend the baton and fire off a warning shot. The bright blue arc and extremely loud crackle of 800,000 volts is sure to make any intruder think twice about proceeding and if it isn’t the security guard could further intimidate with a blast of the 120 decibel alarm. If the intruder still wants to play games he can get himself zapped and learn a valuable lesson.

Buy Bear Spray If You Want Animal Repellents You Can’t Live Without

When my family and I go camping we more often than not choose the northern woods of Wisconsin. I love the area because it really is secluded, beautiful and still relatively close to our hometown of Chicago. When we head off to enjoy the great outdoors my wife is always sure to bring the necessary bug repellents as the mosquitoes, fleas, mites, ticks and chiggers can be abundant this time of year and in that area of the country. So my wife is sure to bring all of our essentials (and some things that may otherwise slip my mind) like sunscreen, water-proof matches, toilet paper, flashlights, spare batteries and of course insect repellent. One thing that she doesn't have to remember because I always will is an animal repellent that should never under any circumstances be ignored and that is bear spray. Guard Alaska bear spray to be exact.

I certainly don't want to be bitten by any mosquitoes as there is a chance, regardless of how small, that a multitude of diseases could be contracted from a mosquito bite. Not only that but even if a mosquito bite doesn't leave you with infected with the west mile virus they are just downright annoying. Let's face it though, we have all been bitten countless times by these little winged scoundrels and lived to be stung another day. A bear bite on the other hand carries a much higher chance of proving fatal. Ill take bee stings to both eye balls (that’s a pleasant though isn't it?) over a black bear attack any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Many insect bites can be a real nuisance and should certainly be avoided but a bear attack is very likely an event that you only get to experience once as you could very likely die or at least be injured so badly that another trip to the north woods would be straight out of the question.

Many people have asked me if this stuff actually works and to these people I reply "have you heard of YouTube?” I ask because you can view quite a few videos that more than prove bear spray's effectiveness. Also, with bear spray you needn't worry about having to carry a firearm that can be every bit as dangerous to you and your family as an actual bear. Also, Guard Alaska bear spray (and I assume just about any brand) does not contain any ozone depleting chemicals as the active ingredient in bear spray is the same in most defensive sprays, peppers.

So if you plan on heading into bear country by yourself or with your family please do yourself and your loved ones a great service and buy bear spray.

With the Housing Market in Shambles Apartment Alarms May Be More Important Than Ever

In today’s economic climate we are finding more and more people renting and fewer and fewer people owning their residence. This is no doubt almost entirely due to the near collapse of the housing market. I hope that this recent slew of new apartment renters understands the importance of installing apartment alarms upon moving in to their new residence. Many will understand the value in securing a renters insurance policy to help insure their belongings but very few I’m afraid will realize the value in an extremely affordable, easily installed apartment alarm.

Renters insurance is great in that it can help replace items that have been stolen during a break in but all that renters insurance can replace is the actual material possessions that were taken from the apartment. One thing, and in my opinion a much more important thing, that these insurance policies cannot replace is one’s sense of security that will no doubt be shattered after an apartment has been burglarized. I have been fortunate enough to never have experienced having a home or apartment that was broken into but I can only imagine the overwhelming feeling of insecurity one must feel in the days immediately following such a burglary. So how does one avoid these feelings of insecurity after a burglary? How about making sure that a burglar cannot enter the apartment in the first place by installing 1 or more apartment alarms.

Apartment alarms are much less expensive than traditional home alarm systems as apartments often have less space to monitor and fewer spots where a potential intruder could possibly enter. Less space and fewer entry points also makes these apartment alarms that much easier to install. For example, if you live in an apartment on the third floor it is probably safe to assume that you don’t have to worry about an intruder entering through a window (unless spider-man has turned to a life of crime) and hence do not need to worry as much about securing those windows with an alarm. However, if you do live in a garden apartment it may behoove you to install a very affordable glass breakage alarm on one or more of your windows (depending on how many you have). In most cases, and certainly for those living on the 2nd floor and above, securing the doors to your apartment may be more than adequate. In some cases just installing something as simple as a door brace may be your ticket to peace of mind and a burglar-proof apartment.

Should You Buy a Taser?

I am in the business of non-lethal self-defense and it has always been and will always remain a passion of mine. The world can be a scary place and there are bad people out there that won’t think twice about hurting you or your loved ones. Because of this I believe that every law-abiding citizen has the right, if not the obligation to themselves and their loved ones, to carry with them at all times a tool of non-lethal self-defense.

In regards to non-lethal self-defense there are many options available to people today and many of these options are completely legal while others have been deemed illegal by the backwards thinking legislators in some counties, cities and states. One of the most effective, and as a result, dangerous weapons of self-defense that has been deemed illegal in some areas is a Taser. Taser devices are not considered firearms by the United States government and as such they can be legally carried, concealed or otherwise, without a permit in 43 states. They are prohibited for use by unauthorized personnel (citizens basically) in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Wisconsin, as well as certain cities and counties. It should be noted that one can purchase a shotgun in most of these states but a non-lethal, much more humane alternative like a Taser is straight out of the question apparently. Taser, much like Kool-Aid and Jell-O, is a brand name, these devices are manufactured by a company called Taser International based in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Tasers, in my opinion, are by far the most effective of all the options one has when purchasing a weapon of non-lethal self-defense. Like stun guns, Tasers use a strong electrical current to disrupt the neuromuscular functions of an attacker but unlike stun devices Tasers use a projectile mechanism. This projectile provides its user with a greater range than traditional stun devices which rely on direct contact with an attacker to be effective.

Although I have a real problem understanding why Tasers should be illegal in areas where a handgun is legal I will say that I understand why there should be some restrictions in place. Tasers are effective and they wouldn’t be as effective if some inherent level of danger was not present with these devices. The decision to purchase and carry a Taser should never be taken lightly and very thorough thought should be given before deciding to buy a Taser.

Stress Reducing Tip 1 – Buy a Personal Keychain Alarm

The world becomes a very stressful place as we get older. I can remember as a child my biggest concerns were where to ride my bike or whether or not I should trade my brother that rookie Roger Clemens Topps card for the rookie Andre Dawson card (I did by the way). That was how stress free my life really was and I didn’t really take the time to appreciate it. 36 years, 1 wife, 3 kids and a mortgage payment later I find myself inundated with varying degrees of stress at all times. I worry about money and about the safety of my family and about providing for them for the long haul. When I have the opportunity to quell some of these stresses in a manner that is both extremely easy and affordable I always jump at that opportunity and I recently just found a way to lessen my stress and concern over the safety of my wife and children, the keychain alarm.

I truly believe that the vast majority of individuals on this planet are decent, good-hearted and well-intentioned. However, there are those out there that just don’t seem to be wired quite right and have an evil streak about them that I’d rather not encounter and that I would certainly rather my family or any loved ones encounter. For this reason i have equipped my wife with a few tools of self-defense and one of those, and possibly one of the most effective, is the keychain alarm. The keychain alarm is exactly that, an alarm so small that it doubles as a keychain. It also has a very bright flashlight built in to the device that comes in very handy when getting into the house or car at night.

The keychain alarms work by emitting an extremely high decibel alarm (130 decibels to be exact) that should confuse and frighten any would-be assailant who isn’t deaf as a post. 130 decibels is roughly equivalent to sitting in the front rows of a Megadeth concert if you need a basis for comparison. Not only should this powerful little alarm frighten the attacker with its noise but it should also attract the attention of every man woman and child in the vicinity and this often helps to get the police called. As long as the assailant isn’t also a complete moron they will know this and that is what frightens them you see.

So please for your sake and the sake of your loved ones please consider cutting your stress levels and equipping anyone you love with a powerful little keychain alarm.

Self Defense for Seniors – Step 1: Know Where to Buy Pepper Spray

I am, always have been and always will be very passionate about helping people protect and defend themselves. I adamantly believe that every law-abiding, god-fearing, morally decent man, woman and child (above the age of 18) should have the right (if not the obligation) to carry some tool of non-lethal self-defense on them at all times. The people I really feel this applies to the most however are those people that are less able to protect and defend themselves than the average citizen, I am referring to senior citizens. As the body ages it becomes a bit weaker and slower and this is just an unfortunate fact of life that is as inescapable as any. The beautiful thing is that these seniors need not worry as there is a very simple, affordable, safe and effective way to defend themselves and that is with pepper spray.

Pepper spray has offered people a way to protect themselves in a relatively safe and certainly effective way for many years now. Pepper spray works by dispensing a defensive chemical that consists of an ingredient called Oleoresin Capsicum, this is the same chemical that is found in chili peppers and is what makes these peppers so spicy. When spraying an attacker with pepper spray you are literally spraying insanely hot pepper into their eyes, nose, throat and lungs. And we aren’t talking about your run-of-the-mill hot pepper either; we are talking about a spray so hot it completely debilitates your attacker. For comparison sake let’s take a look at the hottest pepper you are likely to ever eat in your life, let’s say a raw habanero pepper, this pepper rates at about 200,000 scoville units ( a unit of measurement used to determine a peppers ‘spiciness). If the average person were to pop a habanero pepper into their mouth and start chewing they would instantly start tearing up, their nose would begin running and you would see a look of immense pain on the persons face. Now let’s say that habanero was about 25 times as hot as the average habanero pepper and you were to crush it up and rub it in someone’s eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Do you think that person would possibly be in some pain? Do you think that person might be able to continue an attack with the same vigor they had before you put them in such an intense hurt locker? I doubt it and that is exactly why pepper spray is so effective. Most commercial pepper sprays that are available to the public rate about 5,000,000 scoville units.

What really helps separate pepper spray form other weapons of self-defense is that it is both non-lethal (in almost every single case) and does not leave an attacker with any permanent damage as the effects of pepper spray usually wear off completely after 30-35 minutes. So please consider pepper spray if you are concerned about defending yourself.
