Pepper Spray Is A Must Have For Seniors Citizens
As the world’s population continues to grow so does the world’s senior citizen population. As the human body ages it naturally begins to lose a bit of its strength, speed, stamina and reflexes. Unfortunately this means that seniors, for the most part, are less able to physically defend themselves in the event of an attack as they would have been in their younger days. Do not think for a second that this fact is lost on today’s criminal element. Devious individuals looking for an ‘easy’ target are naturally going to pick on the targets that they believe will present the least amount of resistance. Unfortunately this often means that senior citizens can find themselves the victim of such an attack. There is a way for these seniors to prevent becoming a victim though and it’s so easy and affordable I’m nothing short of astonished that more seniors don’t do it. The answer is pepper spray, my friends. I love defensive sprays for people of any age but seniors are no doubt at the top of the list of people who would benefit the most from carrying pepper spray.
The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin. Capsaicin is the chemical found in chili peppers. It’s what makes a chili pepper like the Habanero so incredibly spicy hot. The ‘hot-ness’ of a chili pepper is measured on a scale called the Scoville scale. The higher the scoville units the hotter the pepper. A Habanero pepper for example is rated at about 100,000-350,000 scoville units. Have you ever eaten a raw habanero pepper? Trust me it’s hot. There is another pepper called the Naga Jolokia pepper that is rated at over 1,000,000 scoville units. In the U.S. this pepper is commonly referred to as Ghost Chili. I have never eaten one and I don’t want too. In comparison this Naga Jolokia pepper is 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce. Try getting some of that in your eye and I promise you it will be an event you remember until the day you die. So how hot is the p spray found in most commercial brands of pepper spray available to civilians? About 3,000,000 scoville units.
Pepper spray devices work by spraying this super concentrated capsaicin into the face of an attacker. This is going to help seniors defend themselves I assure you. If you take a substance 1,200 times hotter than Tabasco sauce and get that into the eyes, nose, mouth and throat of an attacker that attacker is going to feel some serious pain. Much more often than not the attacker will stop attacking and start trying to figure out a way to stop the feeling of fire that has engulfed his face, throat and lungs.
With all of this said it irritates me greatly when I see boneheads that make videos of themselves spraying one another with pepper spray in an attempt to prove how ‘tough’ they are. I think all these videos do is prove how stupid they are. Pepper spray is not to be taken lightly and although it is extremely rare people have died as a result of being sprayed with pepper spray. No weapon of non-lethal self-defense can be effective without some inherent risk but it is still much safer and humane than many other choices available to citizens.

What Are The Best Stun Guns? Stun Master Stun Guns In My Opinion
Here is my take on the purchasing of stun guns and purchasing any item in general. There are items like plastic cutlery, napkins, baking soda and whatnot that don’t require one to purchase a name brand. If you buy generic paper plates they might not be as durable as a Dixie brand paper plate but what is the worst that is going to happen? Maybe you have to double up on plates if you’re trying to eat a sizable meal, not that big of a deal, right?
Some products cannot and should not under any circumstances be purchased with saving a buck and only saving a buck in mind. This certainly applies to non-lethal self-defense products like a stun gun. You do not want to find yourself in a situation where your life is in jeopardy or at the very least you physical well-being and have a stun device that doesn’t work properly. When a product is designed to protect one’s well-being than that product should be of exceptional quality. Stun Master stun guns certainly do, and always have, fit the bill in this regard. Stun Master stun guns have been a leader in the industry for almost 2 decades and one of the greatest things about this brand name self-defense product is that it’s a top-of-the-line brand that is also one of the least expensive. You truly cannot ask for anything more from a stun device. One needs to look no further from a company that has been around this long than the fact that they offer a life-time warranty on their products. A company isn’t going to be around very long if they are slapping life-time warranties on poorly made stun guns.
Stun guns offer the user an immensely effective form of non-lethal self-defense that is non-lethal and much safer than a firearm for example. They work by emitting a high-voltage, low-amperage shock to an assailant. Stun devices help level the playing field for victims that may not otherwise be able to best an assailant should a physical altercation occur. Some fine examples of this would be senior citizens and females that often find themselves walking alone, especially in the evening hours.
So if you are an honest, hard-working, tax paying American that values his or her own safety and the safety of their loved ones and is considering purchasing a stun gun I would hope that Stun Master is a brand that they consider.

People Who Buy Tasers Online Are Rarely Into the Whole Getting Mugged Thing
If you are one of those hate-getting-mugged types than perhaps buying a taser online is something that you may want to consider. Tasers, much like Band-Aids and Jello, is actually a brand name that people will often use to generically describe other similar devices of its kind. Make no mistake though, there is only one Taser and it’s manufactured by Taser International.
Tasers work by shooting small barbs attached to wires from the gun and then these barbs hook themselves to the assailants clothing and/or skin. The projectile is fueled by small compressed nitrogen cartridges similar to the ones in many pellet or paintball guns. Although the tasers available to law enforcement often have a range of more than 30 feet, the tasers available to citizens is limited to 15 feet. Once the barbs attach themselves, an electrical, but non-lethal current can be delivered. This high-voltage current incapacitates the assailant by interrupting the body’s natural neuromuscular algorithm. In layman’s terms this simply means that the assailant’s body no longer responds to the signals from the assailant’s brain. He or she loses control over their own body until the individual holding the gun stops the current. Contrary to some beliefs, this device does not work by administering pain so much as it works by simply incapacitating the assailant’s ability to function.
Tasers, like any weapon, are now and will forever more be surrounding with some measure of controversy. They were introduced as non-lethal and in the vast majority of cases they are just that. Not only non-lethal but rarely does this weapon leave it’s ‘victim’ with any lasting injuries whatsoever. The same can certainly not be said for a firearm. Even if a firearm does not kill an assailant he or she will now be left with a hole in their body that will most likely require a trained professional to close. Tasers and stun devices are much more humane than many of the weapons out there and I will argue that point with anyone at any time. If I was to be the type of scumbag who would attempt to attack another innocent person then I would hope for my sake that the person whom I was cowardly enough to attack would in turn be humane enough to defend themselves by hitting me with a taser rather than a firearm, bat, knife, sword, steel chair, etc. Do you see my point?
With all of this said, a taser and the choice to carry one should never under any circumstances be taken lightly. They are as effective as any non-lethal tool of self-defense can be but can also cause serious injury or death if used irresponsibly or in any fashion other than its specific and intended use which is to protect the innocent.

The Double Trouble Stun Gun Is Indubitably a Double Dose of Defense Against Dubious Do-Badders
First of all let’s talk about why they call it the “Double” Trouble. They call it that because it has double the space between contacts and short of offering the scientific explanation behind it, the more space between contacts the more effective it makes the device. This increased contact space makes the shock more effective and it quite simply makes it easier to make contact with an assailant when there is more surface area to make contact with. The shock we are talking about with this device is 1.2 million volts. 1.2 million volts is going to put an end to darn near any encounter really quickly. The contact space we are talking about is a whopping 5 inches! The vast majority of stun guns on the market average 1.5 inches between contacts. Think of it like this, in the world of golf clubs there is a reason that the newer and more effective drivers are all so huge. There is no two ways about it; increased contact space leads to a more effective shot plain and simple.
Some may look at the Double Trouble stun gun’s design and incorrectly assume that the design is nothing more than overkill for lack of a better word. They may think that it is over-the-top and intended for those that are somehow trying to show off. I truly hope that anyone that purchases these devices is not attempting to show off because the gun’s design is truly a situation where form is meeting function. It looks intimidating because it looks extremely effective and not to be tangled with and that is what it is. If some scumbag drugged out attacker wants to relieve some poor old lady of her purse so that he can get his fix and the little old lady is carrying one of these stun devices than that scumbag is making an extremely poor choice in choosing to pick on that particular lady. And that lady stands a better chance of besting the attacker in a confrontation with one of these stun guns than with many of the other stun guns on the market.
So if you are a tax paying, God fearing, decent individual who cares about their safety and at the same time the well-being of others I hope that you might consider the Double Trouble stun gun.

Editor’s note: I don’t know that ‘do-badders’ is actually a word, in fact spell checker is telling me that it is most certainly not but I needed the title to flow. I think it’s flowing nicely now, don’t you?

All I Want For Christmas Is A Cell Phone Stun Gun
Dear Santa,
I know I usually write to ask you for something awesome like a football, bike or the like but this year I really have my heart set on a cell phone stun gun. Footballs and bikes are great but they aren’t going to prevent me from being violently physically assaulted this holiday season. A cell phone stun gun on the other hand will do just that. If anyone tries to attack me while I’m carrying one of these it’s going to be ho ho horrendous for them.
Did you know that these Pretender cell phone stun guns pack a 4.5 million volt punch and are disguised to look exactly like a real cell phone, Santa? A 4.5 million volt shock is more than enough to stop any attacker from attacking me while I am in the dimly lit parking lots of the local mall. And speaking of light it also comes with a built in 12 LED super-bright flashlight and who can’t use a super-bright flashlight? You might want to look into one of these for yourself in case we get one of those foggy Christmas eve nights and Rudolph is sick with hoof-and-mouth. I am completely kidding, please don’t tell Rudolph I said that.
I have been awfully good this year and sure would love for you to come down the chimney with one of these cell phone stun guns in your bag. I know you may be worried about me accidentally shocking myself but I’m here to tell you that accidental discharge is made almost impossible thanks to the two levels of safety that these Pretender stun guns operate on. For one the safety switch must be in the on position and the trigger button depressed in order for the unit to operate. Once the safety switch is in the on position an LED warning light will come on letting me know that it’s show time once I press the trigger.
I think my favorite part about any stun device is that they are non-lethal forms of self-defense. In fact the attacker is almost always left with no permanent damage whatsoever. I couldn’t bear the thought of taking another’s life, especially at Christmas time, Santa.
So please keep this in mind when you are having your elves make me another hideous necktie or Mrs. Claus is knitting me another of those itchy sweaters. Not that I didn’t love both of those gifts but a Pretender cell phone stun gun is what I really want and I’ve been relatively good, Santa. I really have.
Stay Safe,

Electronic Dog Repellers Make A Great Holiday Gift For People That Hate Being Bit By Dogs
Doesn’t this time of year bring with it a lot of stress along with all that holiday joy? It does for me, I can tell you that. It’s so hard to shop for some people. I just don’t know what to get some of the people on my list. You don’t want to dare try picking clothing out for people because you know they just won’t like it. So what is a person to do for those impossible-to-shop-for people on their list? I think I found the perfect gift this year. An electronic dog repeller.
You might be asking yourself “Carl, how do I know if this gift is right for my loved ones?”. Here is an easy way to find out. Ask the friends and family that you intend to buy a gift for if they enjoy being attacked and repeatedly bitten by a vicious dog. If the answer is no than the electronic dog repeller might just be a perfect gift for these people. If the answer is yes you may want to purchase that individual a couple of free therapy sessions as they are in need of some mental help.
The electronic dog repeller works in two ways. It has an ultra-bright flashing strobe that works to temporarily blind and confuse the dog and the second is a high-frequency alarm audible only to dogs. Both will help accomplish the task of making sure that special someone on your list is not sitting in an emergency room receiving stitches from a dog bite this holiday season.
One dandy little side note about these repellers is that they also have a training setting and can be used to help train dogs. So if that special someone on your list isn’t so much in danger of ever being approached by a dog with questionable motives but does have a dog that they are in the midst of house breaking than this tool could still make a wonderful gift. A person who is never in any danger whatsoever of being attacked by a dog sounds like he or she may live in a bubble though so who knows?
So please keep the electronic dog repeller in mind when considering what to buy that impossible-to-shop for person on your list. Sometimes the gifts you think are truly odd are the ones that make the greatest presents.
I wonder if these would work on a rabid reindeer.
Stay Safe and Happy Holidays!

Guard Alaska Bear Spray Because Bears Don’t Like It When It Feels Like Their Faces Are On Fire.
Bears are beautiful creatures. I’ve been fascinated by them since I can remember my parents taking my siblings and I to the Brookfield Zoo. There was just something about the raw blend of beauty and grace of these gentle giants. It was undeniable and I still feel the same way when I take my own kids to the very same zoo these days. With that said I would rather one not bite me in the neck, head or vital organ region. In reality I would probably rather not have a half-ton Kodiak bear bite me on any part of my body or really any part of the body for that matter. That would be unpleasant and no doubt uncomfortable so I’m just going to go ahead and make it a personal rule not to put any of my body parts in a bear’s mouth. One way to do that while you’re camping or hiking is to carry bear spray on you at all times.
Bear spray is one of those unique items that is truly important. I mean it has vital importance like not many products can truly say they have. Take a spare tire for example, those are pretty important. If you break down on the side of the road and don’t have a spare you are going to be pretty upset. Is it going to be a life altering event? Probably not. It just means you are going to have to call a tow truck and lose a couple of hours out of your day. Now let’s talk about what happens when you need bear spray and don’t have it. It means you could very well die. It won’t be a situation where you’ll later look back and say “Gosh, some bear spray would have been nice in that situation.” It won’t be a situation like that because you won’t be looking back. Ever again.
Guard Alaska bear spray is so effective because bears, much like the vast majority of creatures on this planet, are not all that hip on having their face feel like it has been set on fire. It tends to make all of gods creatures stop just a moment and reevaluate their current actions. I think on some rudimentary level it makes the bear question whether or not continuing the attack is worth the feeling of having its face melted off.
