Protect Your Family

Believe it or not there are several things that women can do to be pro active in preventing sexual assaults and possibly rapes. Knowing how an attacker thinks can work to your advantage. Potential victims can learn from these facts and put a plan in place to be better prepared to fend off an assault. The best defense if attacked is a self defense weapon such as a stun guns, taser C2, or mace pepper spray.

THE LOCATION. The most common place for an assault is a grocery store parking lot. Attackers figure that a victim’ hands and minds are distracted and are easy prey. Knowing this can make you better prepared and more on guard to fend off an attacker.  Always carry a self defense products.

THE TIME. The most common time for an attack is early morning. Think about it-there are less people around and thus less witnesses. Knowing this can put you on guard if you must be out and about in the early am. Always carry a self defense product.

THE LOOK. It is a fact that women with long hair specifically ponytails or braids that can easily be grabbed are more likely targets than women with short hair. It is just a fact! Attackers also look for women wearing loose fitting clothing.

THE FIGHT. It is also a fact that if ANY resistance is in the offing, most attackers move on quickly. They are expecting little or no resistance. When they encounter resistance it takes more time which increase the chances of discovery.
So FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.

THE CARRY. How you carry yourself makes an impression. If your head is up and you walk confidently and quickly you are less likely a target than someone with their head down and walking slowly-just a fact.

WHAT YOU CARRY. If you carry a mace pepper spray, taser, or stun gun and know how to use it not only will it give you a better sense of confidence but will also give you time to escape if you need to use it.

Learn from these facts about assaults and develop a plan to protect yourself with a self defense weapon.

A TASER C2 gun or a stun gun are kinds of electroshock weapons that can restrain a person from attacking you because it gives off electric shock that somehow affect the normal functioning of some muscles. It was the former NASA scientist, Jack Cover who introduced to the world in 1974 the very first stun gun. He gave it the name, TASER C2, which is an acronym for “Thomas A. Swift” Electric Rifle. Thomas Swift (the middle initial was just added for Swift’s middle name’s unknown) is a 20th century fictional character in novels targeted for young adults.

In this present society of ours where security threats are much anticipated, it is quite hard particularly for women to defend themselves. Carjacking, rape, theft, purse snatching and stalking are just a few of the different types of crimes committed on women.

A self-defense weapon like TASER C2 is indeed advantageous to have around. It is easy to hold and you can bring it virtually anywhere you would want to. Because of its size (it can only be as the same size as your TV remote), you can place it in your pocket or under your purse. Purchasing it would never also be a hassle since it is sold through online.

Through the years, it has evolved to be a non-lethal (so you don’t have to worry on the thought that perhaps you rendered your attacker dead-no-only temporarily incapacitated) weapon designed to subdue criminals. Thousands of people in the law enforcement agencies, officers in detention centers, and the persons in military agencies in more than 40 countries bought more than 184,000 pieces of it, and even private individual consumption were recorded to reach at 115, 000. The gun works as it fires projectiles that elicit shock that travels through a thin, flexible wire.

If you happen to be a woman perpetually burdened with the notion of being the weaker sex that makes you a favorite prey of street predators, you have to act courageously and disprove that belief during that precise moment that you are being assailed by someone. A global crime statistics on woman as declared by the World Health Organization and United Nations Development Fund for Women that:

1 in every 3 women across the world has been subjugated to rape or sexual assault. (Data: 2001) According to a survey in the United Kingdom it was found that 19.4 % of the women there have been victims of some kind of sexual violence. (Data: 2001)

In the US:

One of the startling facts is that 1 in 3 American women are sexually assaulted in their lifetime. 89% of sexual crimes have been committed by someone known to the victim.

In 2002, there were 247,730 victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault. In 2005-2006, there were 232,010 victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.

Subduing your attacker using the Taser C2 gun will provide you with an ample time to escape or run and look for help. Taser C2 gun for travelers, most especially women travelers will ensure that you will arrive to your destination safely. So the next time you go out on a trip, don’t just bring extra batteries for your camera. Better bring a self-defense weapon. You will never know when danger will come. And remember, your most important asset is your life. Protect it. Defend it.

Recently the police department issued some guidance on how to avoid such attacks. They fall in the category of DUH! Well excuse me they are also called no-brainers especially if you live in the bad part of town wherever that is. Every town has at least one where gangs seem more prevalent.

WALKING. If walking anywhere like the store, out for some exercise, anywhere at all try to do it in daylight hours or if at night stay in well lit areas. And if possible don’t go alone. Go with a friend. Walk confidently too, head up and briskly always aware of your surroundings.

RIDES. I remember back in my high school days in Cleveland many moons ago I had to hitchhike about 18 miles to get close to home then walk another mile for the last leg of the journey. I wouldn’t think of doing that these days. For folks at bus stops or wherever DON’T accept rides from strangers.

ALWAYS CARRY. Always have some self defense products with you. A stun gun, pepper spray, personal alarm, or a combination thereof works best. They are inexpensive, easy to use and effective as can be

Self defense products like stun guns, pepper sprays and personal alarms allow you time to escape. They will give you from 3-15 minutes to escape to get help or just escape and survive.

They are not the answer for every situation but having a self defense product and knowing how to use it develops a sense of confidence that in and of itself can be a life saver. Get some today and learn how to use them-they could save your life.

Stun guns are not legal in some states. Some cities and states have restrictions on pepper sprays. Check with your local police department.

“WHEN YOU CARE ENOUGH TO STUN and SPRAY THE WORST”

You think it is only in the movies, but there are manufacturers that do offer hidden safes, such as a book safe for the home or office. No matter how James Bond-ish it feels, it is a really effective way to hide your important documents, jewelry, and large amounts of cash.

Thieves will have a hard time trying to locate your valuables. Using these safes may buy you enough time to go and get help in case an intruder does break into your home. Other ways to keep your home safe from break-ins include: investing in an alarm system, setting a timer for your lights, and considering getting a guard dog for larger estates. It is equally important to keep your safe combination between you and your spouse or another trusted member of the family.

Pepper spray works by temporary thwarting an attacker with a stinging sensation to his eyes. This is a handy gadget, especially for single women who have to go out in the city late at night. Women who travel alone will do well to have a canister of mace pepper spray in their bags. Here are some other ways to feel safe in the city:

1. Enrolling in self defense classes.2. Choosing to commute or travel with a companion, especially at night. A good mantra to go by is “there’s safety in numbers.”

3. Always being alert that something could go wrong when you are out in the street.

4. Always checking if your doors are locked before you leave the house.

5. Keeping valuables, such as jewelry and your wallet, safely tucked in your bag. This means removing all jewelry before climbing onto the bus or getting on the subway.

Tips to teach the women we love:

1. If you are attacked, always remember the elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do! It would be ideal if you carried a self defense weapon of some kind such as a stun guns, Mace Pepper Spray or a Taser C2. Know how to use these self defense products in advance.

2. If you are mugged and the robber asks for your purse, don’t hand it to him but throw it away from you. Then run like crazy in the other direction.  An ideal self defense weapon would be a Taser C2.  You can bring them to your knees with out even coming into contact with them.  Then run like crazy and get help.

3. Use your loudest voice to scream for help, but if there is no one around, scream “NO!” and hold your hand in a stop position as you are backing away.  Carrying a Personal Alarm is much louder than your voice and hurts the ears.

4. If someone should jump in your car and hold a gun to your head, do not drive off. Instead put your foot on the gas pedal and speed into something. The airbag will save you, and as quick as the car hits, jump out and run.

5. Be aware of your circumstances at all times. If you feel you are being followed, go to a public building and call 911. Do not take a chance.

Trust your gut and always carry with you some sort of self defense weapon.

As humans, we are all blessed with an inner voice that gives us warnings and promptings. If something or someone does not feel right, then leave the area as soon as possible. Do not try to argue with your institution.

Sexual Assault is not about Sex

Sexual assault is about power, control, anger and feelings of inadequacy on the part of the offender. It is acting out of these thought patterns which focuses on those weaker and more vulnerable, which puts others at risk. Men, women and children who have been forced into sexual situations which were not consensual or where there was an inequity of power, should feel no blame or shame. It behooves us as a community to offer support for victims and speedy criminal charges and incarceration for those who would violate our most vulnerable members

The demand for Hidden surveillance Cameras has increased in current times, prompted by an increase in the rate of crime. They are known by various names such as Hidden Cameras, spy cams, nanny cams, etc., but all of them serve the same purpose –to provide covert surveillance of a particular area. Hidden surveillance Cameras are bought to keep vigil over a place that is beyond the line of vision.

The type of Hidden surveillance Camera to be bought would depend on the size and the lighting of the room that is to be surveyed. Most Hidden surveillance Cameras have lighting adjustments that allow them to record images in both bright as well as dark light conditions. The most important part of a Hidden Camera is its lens. The lens should be able to focus images from even distant parts of the room.

Another important aspect to be considered while buying Hidden surveillance Cameras is to consider its concealing ability. The camera should be small enough to be hidden in a part of the room. The camera should itself not be seen, but must have a clear range of vision. Plain miniature cameras may do the trick if it is possible to attach them to camouflaging surfaces such as table-lamps, ceiling fans, frames of paintings, etc. Also, there are several utility items available that are, in fact, Hidden surveillance Cameras. Tiny cameras can be hidden into clocks, radios, pens, watches, spectacle frames, teddy bears and even buttons. If there is no place to hide the camera effectively, such an object may be bought.

For a room, a fixed Hidden Surveillance Camera with cables is sufficient. But for a moving purpose, there are wireless Hidden surveillance Cameras. These cameras can display images on a remote monitor without the hassle of wires. There are also cameras that can be connected to the USB ports of computers, and images can be uploaded onto the internet over large distances.

There are hundreds of possibilities when it comes to buying Hidden surveillance Cameras. It is necessary to keep the requirement in mind and buy a camera catering to your needs. Price is not important when it is the question of keeping a protective watch over your children, adults or employees.

 When shopping for self defense products, the most important question is also the simplest, what products are right for you? It is worth a good amount of consideration and self insight. A poorly chosen product can cause more damage than it can prevent.

For example, what good will a stun gun do if you aren’t comfortable with it? An attacker might wrestle it away and use it on you. On the other hand, you may be in a situation where you are phobic of weapons, so a stun gun may be ideal for your steady hand.
Keychain mace pepper spray will be wonderful for those who have their keys with them at all times. If your lifestyle, or your work, doesn’t allow a keychain or other personal items, it will likely stay in your vehicle more than actually with you. Would physical training benefit you more so in this situation?

You should know your lifestyle before reaching a final decision. What items do you have with you the most? If you are always connected with work through cellular phones and wireless internet, perhaps you would be best suited with a taser c2 or stun guns that resembles a pager, or cell phone?  What ever you choose have it dwith you ready to shoot at all times.  What good is your stun guns if it is tucked away in your purse.  Same thing with your taser c2 or mace pepper spray.  If it is not armed and ready what good is it anyway.

Self awareness will do more in the long run to ensure you are protected. Having a honest anticipation of your routine will give you quick ideas of which items are realistic and which are unrealistic. A set of solid steel handcuffs may seem like the ideal way to keep burglars at bay until the authorities arrive. But, you should also anticipate how they will be subdued or disarmed in order to be cuffed. You should also consider as many different situations as possible. You can keep your self defense weapons in the car, but what if someone attacks you before you get to it? What if you can’t get to your car in time? Answering these questions can prevent injury and hardship beforehand.

Choosing the right self defense weapons  is only the beginning. You also need to ensure the item is legal in your state. Your local authorities should be able to tell you what products are legal on both a regional and State level.

 An inexpensive but effective way to hide your valuables is a diversion safe. These safes do not look like the typical steel lockbox safe. Instead, diversion safes are disguises like a hollowed-out book or soda can. Diversion safes look like containers designed to hide your valuables in plain sight.

Common diversion safes include fake brand name containers for soda pop, canned fruit, home cleaners, or even novels. Diversion safes have removable tops or bottoms so that you can put your goods in them, and the safes are weighed so that they appear normal when handled.

Diversion safes cost much less than normal safes. A soda pop diversion safe, for example, usually costs under $20. A faux wall socket to store money and jewelry costs around $10. A fake florescent light container, which can hold more belongings than most diversion safes, costs around $20. A popular and effective diversion safe is a fake stone to hide an extra home key in outside, usually costing around $10. Compare these prices to $50 for a small home safe. Unlike more expensive home safes, however, diversion safes are not fireproof.

Diversion safes are a great gift for college students living in the dorms or with nosey roommates. Many types of diversion safes are for sale on the Internet.

When it comes to defending yourself there are a few things for you to know about before you have a dangerous, nasty encounter.
Did you know?

–One out of four women will be sexually assaulted on a college campus.

–One out of eight women will be raped while in college.

–84% of women who were raped knew their assailant.

–57% of rapes occur on a date.

–75% of male students and 55% of female students involved in date rape.

Women, particularly college women, are very susceptible to assault and rape. Date rape has become more of a threat than women want to admit. Women who want to keep a low profile and yet have a considered air of self confidence carry a new multi-purpose device that acts primarily as a stun gun but looks like a cell phone.

Stun guns were originally designed for an individual’s personal safety. Combine that with the looks of a cell phone and you have a non lethal self defense weapon that has the added element of surprise that could save your life.

Cell phone stun guns are an electroshock gun in the shape of a cell phone that can be used effectively for self-defense immobilizing an assailant for up to 5 minutes or more.

This unit also has a 100 db alarm and a super high intensity flashlight which alone could temporarily blind an assailant. The stun gun packs a whopping 800,000 volts enough to dissuade the most aggressive of assailants. A wrist strap with a stop pin sets off the 100 db alarm if the unit is pulled out of your hands.

Take away the element of surprise and turn the tables when it comes to self defense.
This cell phone is so realistic looking that any pervert would certainly be surprised himself by this nasty powerhouse. Self defense is calling.
