For the third time in month, a person was attacked in the Lake Phalen area of St. Paul. This time, it was a 23 year old woman jogger, according a story on KARE-11 TV.

It’s sad that some person or persons are intent on targeting people in this area and making them feel vulnerable. Most of these cases have not involved robbery attempts, just criminal assault. I don’t know whether these criminals are frustrated about the economy and have turned to taking their frustrations out on innocent victims, but I do know that is has to stop!

I would love to see one of these criminals run into someone carrying pepper spray or a Taser and getting a taste of their own medicine.

I just saw this story on the local news tonight about a man who had stolen a car. This thief was so proud of himself that he actually called 911 and reported that he had stolen a car and, since he was much smarter than the police, they would never catch him!

Well, he was wrong. The police arrived at his residence the next day and arrested him. You see, the police have this new fangled device called “caller ID”. It lets them see exactly who is calling them and provides the callers phone number, etc. This feature is very useful for determining who called them in case the caller gets disconnected at some point during the phone call. People that need help, or are reporting to authorities that someone else needs help, can get disconnected for various reasons like passing out, trying to escape a dangerous situation like a criminal chasing them, etc.

It turns out that caller ID also comes in real handy when the authorites are trying to locate a REALLY STUPID CRIMINAL!

Maybe it’s just me, but it sure seems like there is a lot more crime these days. I think that when times get tough, Americans naturally do whatever they can to survive. Most of us with an education and some work experience have options regarding what type of work we will accept even in the current dismal state of the economy.

If you’re young and stupid, you probably don’t have many (or any) sources of income to turn to. Unfortunetly, it seems like there are more people turning to crime these days as a way to support themselves. The crime industry is an equal idiot employment opportunity. There are no resumes needed, no job interviews to go on, no sending your resume off into some black box and just praying that SOMEONE will eventually invite you to meet for an interview.

Can you imagine some armed robber holding up a gas station and the clerk behind the window asking the robber “Is this your first robbery attempt? Because you act like you don’t have much experience at this sort of thing. How many robbery’s have you successfully pulled off in the past? Have you actually ever shot a person? I’m sorry, but I really don’t think you’re qualified to pull off this robbery. I think it’s best if you just leave because we would like to pursue some other, more qualifed robbers. If you will just leave a business card, we’ll add your information to our database of other criminals and follow up with you if we have a need for your services within the next 12 months.”

I just registered my new TASER C2 with TASER International and was thinking I made a pretty good investment in the safety of myself and my family. Let me explain how valuable this device is, in case you’re not familiar the TASER C2.

The TASER C2 is a self-defense electronic control device Manufactured by TASER International, the same company that manufactures TASERs used by Law Enforcement personnel all over the world. The TASER C2 is just as effective as the TASER used by Law Enforcement, plus it has some smart additional features which make it perfect for any ordinary citizen to use.

The TASER C2 uses a replaceable cartridge containing compressed nitrogen to deploy to the small probes that are attached to the TASER C2 by insulated conductive wires with a maximum length of 15 feet. The TASER C2 transmits electrical pulses along the wires and into the body of affecting the sensory and motor functions of the peripheral nervous system. The energy can penetrate up to 2 inches of clothing, or 1 inch per probe.

How does a TASER work?
The human nervous system communicates with simple electrical impulses. The command center (brain and spinal cord) processes information and makes decisions. The peripheral nervous system includes the sensory and motor nerves. The sensory nerves carry information from the body to the brain (temperature, touch, etc.) the motor nerves carry commands from the brain to the muscles to control movement and can be involuntary in response to the sensory information. An example would be involuntary muscle reaction to pull the hand away from a hot object.

TASER technology uses similar electrical pulses to costs stimulation that affects the century and motor nerves. No muscular incapacitation (NMI) occurs when a device is able to cause involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain and is effective on subjects with a high level of pain tolerance.

Previous generations of stun guns could primarily affect the Senator nerves only, resulting in pain compliance. A person with a very high tolerance pain (e.g., a drug abuser or a trained, focused fighter) might be able to fight through the pain of a traditional stun gun.

Electricity must be able to flow between the probes of the electrodes.

Electricity generally follows the path of least resistance between the probes. The greater the spread between the probes on the target, generally the greater the NMI effectiveness.

Electricity will generally not pass to others in contact with the subject unless contact is made directly between or on the probes.

Electricity can arc through clothing.

Exposure to water will not cause electrocution to increase the power to the subject (electrical charge is fixed inside the TASER device, and will not increase significantly even with environmental changes).

TASER technology uses similar electrical pulses to cause stimulation that affects the sensory and motor nerves. Neromuscular Incapacitation (NMI) occurs when a device is able to cause an involuntary stimulation of both the sensory nerves and the motor nerves. It is not dependent on pain and is effective on subjects of the high level of pain tolerance.

SPECIAL FEATURES TO PREVENT MISUSE
Every time a TASER C2 cartridge is deployed, at least 24 small, confetti -like AFID tags are ejected. Each AFID is printed with the serial number of the cartridge deployed, allowing law enforcement agencies to determine the registered owner of the cartridge and track citizen use if ever used in a criminal act.

You are required to complete a criminal background check in order to receive a unique code that will be used to activate your TASER C2. This means that when a TASER C2 has been fired, it will be much easier for the police to track down the registered owner of the device.

The TASER C2, with laser guided targeting, costs $350. It costs another $10 to register your unit with TASER. This is a one-time fee.

The TASER C2 is certainly not the cheapest self defense device available, but I feel this is the most effective, non-lethal self defense device currently on the market and well worth the investment in the safety of myself and my family.

Another week, another disappointing stock market. But, cheer up! I think some long overdue change is on it’s way. And remember, there’s more to life than just money. To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, “This too, shall pass.”

We don’t have to look too far to see the signs of outrageous greed that ran rampant during the last stock market bull cycle. Here are just some of the highlights from the last week of media reports that exhibit the excessive greediness of corporate executives:

• The Trustee in the Bernard Madoff bankruptcy case reported that the financier hadn’t bought any securities for the past 13 years!

• The SEC filed fraud charges against Texas billionaire Allen Stanford and two other executives of Stanford Group of selling $8 billion in high-yield certificates of deposit with impossibly high interest rates in a worldwide scheme.

• GM CEO Rick Wagoner was quoted at a press conference stating: “We have to restructure…so we can be viable at a sales level that is dramatically lower than what we ever anticipated.” Huh? You mean GM Executives never considered what would happen if oil prices increased from historically low levels and what impact that would have on their dominant market share position and sales of gas guzzling SUV’s and trucks? Were they too busy working on their golf game to bother with such small details?

• Speaking of General Motors, GM and Chrysler told the U.S. Congress that they could need $21.6 billion more in aid to keep them going. GM said it could need $100 billion in financing if it filed for bankruptcy, and CEO Rick Wagner said bankruptcy would be “risky” and would only be used as a last resort. I wonder what Wagner really means when he says that a GM bankruptcy would be “risky”? Risky for him, personally, and his future salary and earnings prospect perhaps?

• UBS agreed to pay $780 million and identify some American clients with undeclared bank accounts, to settle a tax case and avert criminal charges. But Switzerland’s finance minister vowed that the country’s bank secrecy would be maintained.

But, as Bob Dylan would say, “The times, they are a changing.” Yes, the Federal Goverment is throwing an awful lot of money at our financial markets to try and stop the decline in our financial markets and restore some resembelance of confidence again. As inflationary as the long-term effects of this loose money policy will be, they really don’t have a choice if they have any hope of preventing the global economy from falling into a long, deep and severe depression.

Critics of President Obama’s new housing rescue plan say they don’t want to pay for their neighbor’s mortgage in the form of higher taxes. Well, I don’t think anyone is happy about paying higher taxes, but what choice do we really have? The economy is messed up, big time. We can’t blame President Obama for this because things were already messed up by the time he was elected into office. He could complain about the crappy job that he inherited from the outgoing administration, but he’s not. He’s doing everything that he can to try and stop the bleeding and prevent any further damage from occuring.

Now, to get back to the headline of this long-winded blog post, It was clear from the November 2008 U.S. Presidential results that Americans wanted change. Not just a little tweak, but a major change. Well, change IS coming. It has to, or else we are all dead. Not just the US economy, but the global economy. How can you imagine that a person as insane as Adolph Hitler became so powerful? Germany was weak from the last major recession and people were starving and desperate for change. These people were so desperate that they decided that while Hitler had some radical ideas, nothing else had worked so far. They HAD to DO SOMETHING! So they put this guy named Hitler with some crazy ideas into power to see if that might fix things. And the rest is history, as they say.

Please don’t misunderstand and think that I’m comparing President Obama to Adolph Hitler, because that is NOT WHAT I’M DOING. American’s are smart enough to learn from the past mistakes of others and I think Obama is exactly what America needs right now to get us out of this financial mess without creating more problems down the road.

Just to be safe, you might want to pick up a C2 TASER in case their’s an uprising in your neigborhood…

A Taser is simply a less lethal alternative to a hand gun. Afterall, you just want to stop your neighbor from attacking you and stealing your stuff. You don’t want to actually KILL HIM, right?

When you think of self defense products you typically think about pepper spray, stun guns or personal security alarms. However, there is another effective form of self defense that is not usually considered and that is a safety light.

How Safety Lights May Help

Safety lights are designed to light up the way when you are out walking on a dark night. Not only do they help you to see better, but they also enable you to draw attention to yourself. This may seem like a bad idea; after all, who wants to draw attention to themselves at night when there are potential attackers out there? Surely the attacker will see you and find it easier to attack you? Well surprisingly drawing attention to yourself does not increase the risk of you being attacked, instead it prevents it.
By drawing attention to yourself with a safety light it enables other people to see you. So if you are attacked there is a better chance that somebody will witness what is happening. Help can then be called and your attacker will be scared off. So that is one way in which a safety light can protect you.

By lighting up the way a safety light will also help you to see potential attackers. Often when you are walking late at night it is difficult to see what is in front of you. That is why so many people are attacked because their attacker can see them, but they did not see their attacker until it was too late. By seeing where you are going you will be able to assess the possible risks ahead and that can potentially stop you from being attacked.

Choosing a Good Safety Light

There are different lights that you can purchase but typically the best types to get are the LED versions. You can also choose between flashing lights and simple constant lights. If you use a flashing light that does help to draw attention to you when you are being attacked. A constant light is better to help you to see where you are going. For best results it would be a good idea to purchase a LED light that has the ability to flash but which also has a constant light on it too.

If you want a light which is convenient to carry then you should choose the Cell Phone flash light. This is designed to peel and stick to your cell phone and it can easily be operated whenever it is needed. It lasts for up to 6,000 hours and you can use it literally everywhere. It is small enough to easily carry around and use outside and generally it is one of the best lights available.

If you just want the simplest of safety lights then the LED light is what you need. It comes with seven different flashing patterns and you can choose from three different styles. There is a wrist strap, a bicycle light and a belt clip. It has a very powerful light and the seven different flashing functions will help you to signal help if it is needed.

Overall safety lights may not be able to directly stop an attack, but they can help to prevent them. It would be a good idea to carry around another self defense product such as pepper spray if you really want to protect yourself, or even just a personal safety alarm to further draw attention to yourself in the event of an attack. You can even purchase combined safety alarms and lights and that may be the best option for you.

Yes, you read the title right. Talk about getting non-lethal weapons into the hands of the public, Radio Shack is now considering selling stun guns in limited areas.

It’s probably not such a far-fetched idea since Wal Mart and other stores nation wide have been selling all sorts of guns and rifles for years.

The idea that Radio Shack will be selling stun guns will offer individuals a choice if they are looking for personal protection, and will offer those who spend a lot of time outdoors or in the wild, or hunting, a way to protect themselves from wild animals that they don’t want to kill, but don’t want to be attacked by.

Excerpts from an Ohio interview regarding Radio Shack’s new move were made available in the Ohio News Democrat by Brett Roller, staff writer. In part, his interview included the following:

Area residents could soon have a new option in self defense. Radio Shack stores in Mt. Orab, Georgetown, and Bethel could soon carry stun guns and pepper spray.

“People come in and shop and sometimes they want something different,” store manager James Colwell said. “It’s something we looked into and we thought there might be a market for it.”

Colwell said that while Radio Shack itself does not normally carry stun guns he felt there was a need in the area and so he started looking into the possibility of selling the self defense tools locally. Colwell said parents sending their children off to college might feel safer if they send them with protection. Colwell did stress they are for personal protection and should not be used lightly.

“If someone has road rage and comes up to you at a stop sign or a stoplight, you have an alternative to get away. You can run the light if you have to or drive away, you don’t need a stun gun,” Colwell said. “If you’re in your home or you can’t get away, or you are in a situation where you are being mugged, that’s when you could use a stun gun or pepper spray.”

Colewell said he did a lot of research on local and state regulations before deciding to carry the tools. He also visited with local law enforcement “to get their blessing.”

“Everyone said everyone has a right to defend themselves,” Colwell said. “(Law enforcement) prefers a non-lethal way. A stun gun or pepper spray as opposed to a gun or knife.”

So, next time you are thinking of an alternative and non-lethal way to protect yourself, think Radio Shack. It looks like Radio Shack is not your parent’s Radio Shack of the past, and it goes to show that there are good ways to protect yourself and they are becoming more available. However, when you plan to purchase a stun gun or other weapon, do your research and go to experts who are experienced in the sale of and laws about stun guns. It is important that you understand how to operate them safely and understand the laws in the state you live in.

We are hearing about the use of tasers and stun guns by the police and private citizens more and more lately. When used properly they can catch the bad guys and help innocent people stay safe.

Many police and sheriff departments are using tasers instead of guns whenever possible, to avoid fatalities. Along with the tasers or stun guns, the officers receive specific training as to how to use their weapons as safely as possible while still being effective at apprehending lawbreakers.

It is important for private citizens to learn how to use tasers and stun guns appropriately, as well. If you purchase one of these self defense weapons, it is essential for you to remember that tasers and stun guns are WEAPONS and are serious. Even though they are designed to avoid fatalities, there can be complications if they are not used properly.

There are various types, sizes and voltages involved with tasers and stun guns, depending upon your needs. There are also disguises for them, such as the Cell Phone Stun Gun, which works exactly like any other stun gun and sends a powerful jolt through an intruder or attacker, yet looks like a cell phone, so the attacker would never realize they are about to be shocked and stopped in their tracks, leaving you a safe way to escape.

Check this site for a variety of stun guns, tasers and information regarding their use and the laws involving them. It is important to get the best weapon possible for the best price, and you can do that here. Before purchasing a stun gun or taser look carefully at the information and see which one is best for you. Find an affordable, high quality, effective taser or stun gun to keep you and your family safe.

It seems that when you least suspect it, and when you are relaxing and minding your own business, things often seem to happen. This is often true because, when it comes to crime, attackers such as muggers or robbers are looking for people who have let their guard down and seem like easy prey.

There are situations that leave us vulnerable, such as leaving the mall at night in the dark with few people around, or walking the dog late at night before bed. If you are attacked and have nothing to protect yourself with, it can be difficult, if not impossible, to fight off the attacker.

A great self defense tool is now available to surprise your attacker and keep you safe.

The Stun Master Hot Shot Stun Gun is a compact, powerful and non-lethal self defense weapon disguised as a PDA or hand held mobile device. It will give you the upper hand and the element of surprise if you are attacked.

The Stun Master Hot Shot Stun Gun delivers 975,000 volts to your attacker, resulting in incapacitation. This will disorient the attacker and incapacitate them long enough for you to get away to safety.

One excellent feature of the Hot Shot Stun Gun is that it is only 3 inches long. It works on long-lasting lithium batteries and can slip into your purse or pocket. It can also be clipped on like a cell phone, making it easily accessible. If you happen to be taking out the trash or jogging and don’t have hands free, this is especially convenient.

The Stun Master Hot Shot Stun Gun has a lifetime warranty and it will work every single time you need it. It is one of the strongest methods of self defense available and it is affordable and reliable.

If you are looking for the ultimate in non-lethal self defense, the Stun Master Hot Shot Stun Gun is the tool for you.

I just heard on the news this evening that some small town in Texas has just approved a city ordinance that allows teachers to carry guns in school! The proponents of the new law said it was just “common sense” that teachers should be armed in schools.

Does anybody else think this is a bad idea? I understand that it makes sense to have some security personnel present in the school in case some crazy kid comes in and starts shooting up the place, but I don’t see the need for teachers to carry a gun.

This sounds like an accident just waiting to happen. What if some elementary kid brought a toy water gun into the school and a teacher mistook it for a real gun, reacted quickly, and shot the kid?

I just don’t think it makes any sense for teachers to carry a lethal weapon in the school. A stun gun or a Taser? Now that makes sense. At least a mace pepper gun that can shoot pepper spray for 25 feet.

With these non-lethal self defense weapons, you can still bring a dangerous situation under control without seriously wounding or killing the people involved. I’m not some liberal that doesn’t believe in violence, I just think it’s common sense to carry a non-lethal weapon over a lethal weapon.

Sure, some people will comment that stun guns can kill people. Yes, there have been some limited, isolated incidents where a victim that has been shocked with a Taser or stun gun has died. Most often, it seems, these victims were high on meth or some other drug that could have also contributed to the death, or at least in combination with a Taser or stun gun.

The media is overly focused on reporting these limited and isolated accidental deaths from Taser or stun gun use and don’t report anything involving those situations where these devices are used exactly how they are supposed to be and some criminal is apprehended using a Taser? Situations where the police where able to gain control of an out of control scenario by using a stun gun without using lethal force.

I just think it makes a lot more sense to have teachers carrying stun guns, Tasers, or pepper sprays before we need to start supplying our teachers with handguns.

You are prepared to defend yourself, your family and those you love. So in a situation where any of those things are threatened, you’re prepared to do anything, right? Unfortunately, what happens after the event is over must also be considered.

In the midst of defending yourself, you don’t think hard about what the legal ramifications of self-defense might be. Fear and protective instincts put safety and survival as the first priority. When people attack you, they aren’t concerned about your life. Why be concerned about theirs? Because the simple fact of our society is that sometimes the justice system fails to deliver justice at all.

From the legal standpoint, lethal self-defense can be considered excessive force, even if your life was at stake. There is also the issue of what you are willing to live with morally after the fact. Protect your future while you protect yourself, and choose methods of non-lethal self-defense.

First and foremost, as you’ve heard many times before, the best self-defense is to avoid the situation altogether. Always pay attention, walk with purpose, and chose well-traveled areas. Keep trustworthy company. Don’t be a victim by putting yourself at risk. Moving on from that, if something does happen, make sure you are prepared.

Another reason, besides the legal ramifications, to chose non-lethal self-defense is accidents. When we react in fear, sometimes we may take actions that aren’t completely thought through. You may think someone is breaking into your home, but it could be a family member arriving home late. A loved one can recover from injuries, but a fatal gunshot is forever.

There are a variety of different non-lethal self defense weapons available for purchase, ranging from very mild to extremely powerful. Most options are fairly inexpensive and portable, and most of them easily concealed. They are completely legal and much safer than carrying a firearm.

Pepper spray has been around for many years and is still a popular choice because it is small, discrete and easy to carry in a purse. When sprayed in the eyes of an attacker, it temporarily blinds by causing trigger reactions. The eyes automatically close and begin to water. Other effects are runny nose and coughing. The full effect can be felt for up to 45 minutes, giving you time to escape. Take caution with pepper spray, though. Keep an eye on expiration dates and leaking, and make sure never to spray upwind.

www.laneselfdefense.com/peppergel.htm

Personal alarms create a loud noise that can discourage attackers and draw attention to you. These are the most useful if you are somewhere that others can come to your aid. Remember to be realistic and have another option if no one hears your alarm. Don’t depend on others to rush to your aid. Everyone loves a hero, but nobody like to put themselves in danger.

www.laneselfdefense.com/alarm.htm

Stun guns are also a popular option for non-lethal self defense. These electroshock weapons temporarily disable your attacker through the use of electric shock. A variety of jolt levels are available, from a fairly low charge in smaller flashlight-sized stun guns up to 300,000 volts or more. They administer the electric shock through direct contact. Some stun guns come disguised as cell phones, pens or flashlights.

www.laneselfdefense.com/hotshotstungun.htm

Tasers are also electroshock weapons. Media scrutiny has recently surrounded tasers after several high-profile incidents with law enforcement. While these officers may have used excessive force in those situations, when defending yourself against attack, that matters little. Tasers deliver a shock from a distance of several meters to subdue and temporarily disable your attacker. The shock is more powerful than a stun gun and does not require direct contact. Make sure you practice using your taser before you are in a negative situation. This goes with all self-defense weapons. You don’t want to waste any time when you need to protect yourself.

www.laneselfdefense.com/c2taser.htm

Don’t forget the practical options. Having a small and portable but heavy-duty flashlight allows you to see in the dark and makes a useful blunt object. A good crack on the head is an old-fashioned defense. Another is your cell phone. One of the best non-lethal defense weapons available is a call for help.

Stay Safe,

Steve Lane

Parking lot crimes are prevalent and you don’t want to get caught without enough knowledge and information to protect yourself. You should always also be equipped with the right safety tools to protect yourself. Some of these safety tools are pepper sprays, stun guns, mace and self defense classes. It is very important to carry one or all of these safety tools.

Avoid underground or multi story car parks especially at night as they are breeding grounds for vandalism and crime. If they already exist, danger could be minimized by limiting entry points. If you live in a gated community, you are at an advantage and can park your car in front of your home.

Car parks should be no more than sixty meters from dwellings and the path should be well lit and free from shrubbery. Visitor’s car parks should be well lit, clearly defined and visible from dwellings. If it is desirable to limit access to dwellings, make sure access via car parks is monitored well. In high crime areas, advanced technological surveillance methods may be needed in car parks such as surveillance cameras, hidden wireless cameras and even alarms.

For example, an infrared unit can be made available, which detects the presence of intruders, but not cats and dogs, by body heat and automatically switches on all lights in the car park and turns them off after fifteen to twenty minutes.

Surveillance cameras are a great safety tools for businesses. Individuals who own parking garages need them to monitor and help the customers to feel safe leaving their vehicles and going back to their vehicles. Hidden wireless cameras may be more effective since the thieves or prowlers don’t know that it even exists.

Car parks that are enclosed are excellent candidates for this type of surveillance equipment and method. If there is a security guard at the gate, he or she will be able to monitor the parking garage more efficiently. It is in the best interest of the parking garage to take care of their patrons so many of them are getting the hint and providing many different types of safety measures.
Underground garages are the most susceptible to the occurrences of crime. This is where the surveillance equipment is well needed. Most underground garages do carry it, but you must pay attention or ask the security at the gate if there is a surveillance camera before you park your vehicle there.

You must be aware at all times of your environment because the thief is always watching you and trying to find ways to beat the system. There are robbers who don’t even care if there is a surveillance system or don’t take the time to look for one. They are so brazen these days that the least you can do is to carry a pepper spray, mace or stun gun to protect yourself. You cannot depend on the garage owner to solely provide your protection.

Be aware of your surroundings when you do park your vehicle in a garage. Never take it for granted that there are surveillance cameras around. Try not to use a parking garage at nights. Park your vehicle on the street if you can.

The world is becoming an unsafe place for both men and women around the world. Every day on the news you hear stories of women being attacked and robbed. However, in some cases, it gets more tragic because the thieves get desperate and may kill the person. Women especially are targets because the intruder feels that women are easy to rob and so they become more vulnerable. I think women are become sick and tired of being targets and are taking control of their own safety and protection.

Women are even going a step further by taking self defense classes to be prepared to defend themselves in the event that they come across any unsafe situations. Being equipped with personal security devices is also another way that women are safeguarding themselves from attackers and intruders.

Women have different types of personal security devices to choose from as a precaution. Pepper sprays, stun guns, maces, and other safety devices are some of the few we will mention here. Pepper Spray, I think, was the first one that became popular among women. It is easy to carry and is packaged in a compact and small aerosol can. It fits securely in a woman’s purse and on a key chain. These days they are even making pepper sprays in the form of a lipstick. The thief will not know what hit him or her because a woman can take out her lipstick without the attacker being suspicious.

When the Pepper Spray is held toward the attacker and pressed to directly affect the eyes, it will stop the attacker in his or her tracks and disable the attacker. The canine pepper spray emits ten one second bursts and this is for individuals who are attacked by dogs. The bear pepper spray was created for a bear attack. The pepper spray only causes short term pain and is not detrimental to the attacker in the long run. It is just a temporary tool to give the woman a chance to escape quickly. The woman should first learn to use this pepper spray and not wait until she is attacked to fumble with it.

Stun Guns are small devices that are hand held. It is used by many law enforcement officers. It emits soaring voltage electric shock when it is used on an individual for up to five seconds. Once the individual is shocked with this elevated voltage, he or she becomes disoriented and will fall. Stun Guns cannot cause long term harm. The person will recuperate in up to ten minutes. This gives the woman enough time to escape.

Cell Phone Stun Gun is one of the newest personal security devices on the market. It carries up to 800,000 voltages. Its unique feature gives the woman a tactical advantage. The intruder or attacker won’t know what hit them because the cell phone is not an obvious self defense tool. It is easy to surprise the attacker with a cell phone. The purpose for this device is to give the victim enough time to get away. It is not to intentionally harm since these tools are nonlethal weapons.

It also has an alarm and a flashlight installed as well as an anti-theft disabling wrist strap.
Women can rest assured that they can now stop being victims and protect themselves with personal security devices that work. For more information, please to go http://www.laneselfdefense.com/cellphonestungun.htm

It is apparent that society has gotten more violent and that individuals feel that their safety is being threatened by the many incidents of crime reported each day in the media. If you want to secure your own safety, which is highly recommended, you have to take the appropriate self defense protection methods, techniques and use the right products to build up peace of mind. You don’t want to feel powerless when you are attacked. Instead, you want to be equipped when you are dangerously challenged. You do have the option to carry a firearm, but you could endanger yourself much more doing that. There are safer alternatives to safety and that is using self defense weapons.

Now let’s discuss some of the different self defense products available for your protection and safety.

Stun guns
Stun gun has become very popular among the different types of self defense products. If your assailant has gotten too close to you and you cannot run, a stun gun is the best weapon to use. It is also used by law enforcement to take down their suspects. This is an electrical device that utilizes a high voltage and will stop your attacker in his or her tracks. It will disable them and put them to the ground. There are some stun guns that can be used without touching the assailant. From a few feet, you have an advantage against the person who is attacking you. The amps are low, so there will be no serious damage inflicted against your attacker when hit with the stun gun. There are different voltages and sizes to choose from. Manufactures are now making stun guns disguised as cell phones, soda cans, credit cards, flashlights, and other unique objects that you use every day.

Pepper Sprays

Greek legends carry over into our lives even now.

We all know about Cupid, at least around Valentine’s Day. Hercules is still a major hero when it comes to strength. (Check your local sports pages.) And, there’s one more.

Zeus and his lightning bolts.

Sure, there are lots of other reasons to know about Zeus. He was the king of the gods. He ruled over all the other gods and goddesses from his throne on Mount Olympus. He was a legendary lover of women, with scores of famous children as a result. He was the model for philandering husbands everywhere, because his wife Hera, was always trying to keep him on the straight and narrow.

The best reason for remembering Zeus is because of his habit of throwing lightning bolts. These bolts were the last word in any argument. There was no defense or response to getting hit by lightning. No one said “ouch”, hopped around, and then walked away from the scene. The god, demi-god, or mortal that got hit by Zeus’ lightning bolt was done, finished, toast.

Let’s face it, no matter how strong a man is, lightning bolts are stronger.

Put the wrath of Zeus on your side.

Even if you’re not a god, the hot Shot Stun Gun puts the lightning power of Zeus at your disposal. This is an advanced design that won’t look out of place when you’re carrying it. It doesn’t look like the old-fashioned stun guns that have been around for so long. The Hot Shot Stun Gun looks much more like some high tech personal device, like a phone or PDA or Blackberry. It doesn’t scream stun gun to everyone in the room.

And, anyone experiencing the mind-numbing power of the Hot Shot Stun Gun probably won’t scream either, but for a different reason. They’ll be down on the ground and out of play before the can understand what just happened to them.

Why?

Because of the RAW POWER of the Hot Shot. This is one of the very most powerful stun guns available. It uses very nearly a MILLION volts to put the wrath of Zeus at your fingertips.

So, now you can end a fight the old school Zeus way,

P.S. Discrete to carry and super-powerful when used, this may well be the ultimate stun gun.
