Womens Self Defence – Pepper Spray To Protect The Day! (Or Night!)

When you are driving to or from work, or school, whether you are young or old, female or male, in a new car or old car, through a great neighborhood or not-so-great, do YOU have any type of self defense items at your side? If you are carrying something with which to protect yourself, good for you, that is a wise and intelligent decision and also good preparation for the unexpected. For those who have answered “no” the only logical questions seems to be, “Why the hell not?”

This is a time when the world has lots of crazy things happening; there is more crime each day, and wherever you go, there’s a chance at getting robbed, mugged, or worse. So it seems that the best thing to do is to prepare yourself, in advance, by having some sort of protection. Even if you never have to use it, which would actually be a relief and a reason to thank God, at least you would have something, such as a pepper spray, just in case of an unforeseen circumstance!

Many people do not realize that pepper sprays are completely legal, they do not cause any long term harm or damage, and they can be purchased in a size as small as a key chain. The spray will usually shoot about 6 feet, and will stop anyone in their tracks! The solution will make the person’s eyes burn, and they will have trouble opening them or seeing for a half hour. The person will also cough and choke, and even have difficulty breathing for a while. They certainly won’t be able to proceed with hurting or robbing you, so you can escape to safety. The spray solution also has a vegetable marking dye that will stain the face, temporarily, of the person so that law enforcement can pick him out later on.

There is nothing wrong with a man or a woman carrying a great little piece of self defense in their pocket, purse, or briefcase, and if you don’t own one already, you really should order one. In fact, you probably need a few to give as gifts for some of your friends and loved ones. There’s a great website where you can order pepper sprays, whether key chain sized, or larger, and they also have many other great personal protection items. So check out…

Defence Equipment For Police And Public

People all over the world are increasingly getting concerned about risks of daily living. There is increasing awareness about personal safety and safety of family. One of the many risks, apart from terrorist threats, people are more concerned about is the wide spread of criminal acts. There is not a single day which passes without people falling victim to criminal acts. Rape, murder and theft are commonplace, forcing people to think of self defence since law enforcing police force proves inadequate to control these crimes.

Self defence was the basic need of mankind in the past and now it has become more essential in the prevailing scenario. Different generations have been developing martial arts and self defence weapons for protection from animals, criminals and antisocial elements. The need for protection has led to invention of less-lethal but quite effective self defence products and personal safety devices, such as taser guns, stun guns, police batons, pepper spray and rubber ammunition. The advantage in using these personal safety devices is they don’t kill but disable attacker long enough and provide time to victim for safety.

A taser gun is an excellent self-defence weapon that works by firing two electrodes towards attacker using compressed nitrogen. These electrodes are sharp and barbed and pierce easily in clothing and skin, but cannot be removed easily once implanted. Taser gun sends electric charge into the target with the help of fine conductive wires. The target gets disabled due to powerful electric charge that overloads nerves and disables voluntary muscle control. However taser guns don’t cause permanent damage to nerves. Taser guns that form part of police training equipment have longer range and are equally effective like civilian taser guns.

Although taser guns are quite effective, stun guns are more popular weapon for self-defence. A stun gun, designed for close range can be held in hand. Stun guns are electroshock self defence product that has firing range shorter than taser guns, but with distinct provision of firing for more than once.

Stun guns work on rechargeable batteries and are bar-shaped like electric razors, with two exposed electrodes at one end. Activated elect

rodes are made to touch target’s body causing pain due to severe involuntary contraction of muscles on account of electric current. This helps to startle and discourage opponent from further assault. Fearsome crackling sound produced by stun guns serves as deterrent. This self defence safety product is commonly used by women to thwart any robbery or rape attempt.

Taser guns and stun guns can be easily carried in a jacket pocket or a small bag and are very effective ready to use personal safety devices.

Police batons are one of several self-defence products used by police force. Police batons are either collapsible or expandable. The first police baton was called ‘billy club’ and its inclusion as police training equipment led to evolution of variety of police batons. The most popular police baton is the telescopic steel baton. It has replaced all types of other police batons in the police force and law enforcement agencies.

Expandable batons have a solid tip attached to inner-most shaft’s outer end which lends more power and forceful strike with the baton.

A collapsible police baton is normally carried in extended position by the police force. By just extending a baton, police can intimidate many and deescalate violent situations. These batons are equally useful as civilian self defence equipment.

That was a great song, wasn’t it?  Girl, I’m hooked on this feeling, high on believin’…  It was a song that just transported you and was pretty catchy in the process.  It was a song where the melody and words were easy to remember.

So what does this have to do with self defense you ask?  Everything!  How many times have  you had “a feeling” that something or someone wasn’t right and decided to ignore it?  Did you compromise your safety in the process?

Guys call it a “gut feeling” and embrace it.  You know, trust your gut!  For women, it’s labeled as “women’s intuition” and made fun of as in “over-reacting”, “being silly”.  You get the jist.  Unfortunately, the very thing we are told to ignore may be the very signal that keeps us alive and out of harms way.

Our intuition is our lizard (animal) brain’s survival instinct.  It is a homing beacon for danger and when it picks up a potential signal, it sends out that feeling that says, “something’s not right.”  That should be your cue to remove yourself from the environment or engage your personal protection options to ensure you can deal with whatever is coming your way.  In other words, wake up and pay attention!

The more we hone and listen to our intuition, the more precise and accurate it becomes.  Don’t let your “rationale” mind talk you out of listening to your “animal” brain when it comes to your own personal safety.  Pay attention to the feelings you are receiving.  They may just save your life some day.
