The “Shocking” New Trend In Womens Home Parties

June 12th, 2011

 

TASER® C2 Gold Kit Fashion Pink

 

Not long ago I received an invitation to a party that a friend of mine was hosting.This would’t be your typical housewives gathering. No Tupperware or candles, no home décor or even purses here! Not at this party. The invitation read “You Are Cordially Invited to Attend a Taser Party” “Come join us for shockingly good time”. I was instantly intrigued by the idea. I immediately called in my RSVP and marked the date on my calendar!

The following Friday night I arrived at the party at first glance it appeared to be just like any other party I had ever attended, many women chit-chatting amongst themselves, a multitude of food and drink arranged throughout the room, together with lots of comfortable seating for all. But within a few minutes I had been aware this could be completely different. I was immediately drawn to an exhibit of lots of tasers guns. I’ll admit that initially even the thought of using one of those things kind of unnerved me a little. Would I actually be able to put it to use if I were put a put in a dangerous situation? Would I know how? I had endless questions running through my head and as it would turn out I was in the right place to find the answers I desired

.
 
 
 

 

Are Tasers legal?


Tasers guns are not toys;
they’re dangerous weapons and really should be handled with care. If you’d like to invest in a taser, there are actually restrictions you should know of. It also might not be legal to carry a taser on your person or as a concealed weapon. It will be your responsibility to determine the legality of carrying a weapon before employing it as anything instead of household protection. Please always keep in mind you possess and use a taser at your own risk

 

What might it feel like to get tased?

 

As soon as the probes have attached themselves to the targets skin or clothes, the taser delivers a debilitating shock that creates severe pain and muscle lockup (also known as Neuromuscular Incapacitation) the taser stimulates the targets motor nerves, that can cause their muscles to contract uncontrollably. This is the reason it’s not possible to resist the impact of a taser unlike a stun gun which only applies pain without NML

 

Why would I purchase a taser rather than stun gun?


Tasers differ significantly from standard stun guns. The shock of a Taser is delivered by wires. These wires are fixed with electrodes
on their ends. The wires are shot out of the end of the Taser gun having a range of as much as 20 feet. In using a Taser gun, you don’t need to to become near your assailant.

How much can they cost?


Prices vary depending on the type of Taser you’re
thinking of buying, Do not forget, if you find yourself buying something for self-defense, you generally get what you pay for.

Will it cause a person to have a heart attack?

 

 You will find instances when Tasers have been investigated as a possible cause or contributing aspect in deaths. A figure often quoted is 70 deaths across North America, from 1999 to 2003. In all these cases, Tasers were never proved to be the reason behind death. More often than not, attackers were under the influence of alcohol, cocaine together with other drugs that increase chance of cardiac arrest or stoppage. Tasers are certainly safer than handguns.  Applied cautiously, they usually are very effective at subduing threatening people.

After answering all of our questions, the woman that my good friend had invited to her house to actually do the party shared her personal story with everyone there. It wasn’t long before each of us knew why she felt so passionately about teaching everyone to utilize a tasers gun.
As it turns out, several years ago while leaving a restaurant she’d been working at with a coworker she was attacked while in the parking garage. She had always assumed they were safe and being smart by always leaving the building together.
Everthing appeared to be innocent, harmless. They were just attempting to help. Doing what’s right, right? Wrong! When they reached the car the situation changed immediately. Before they knew what was happening this unassuming man just looking for directions to get his girlfriend home, had taken the keys from each of them and was attempting to force them in a car.
The fact that there was a couple of them and just one of him didn’t matter, he had overpowered them in a matter of seconds.

But that night the buddy system wouldn’t be enough to keep them out of harm’s way. A guy approached them when they came out the rear door of the restaurant and asked them for directions, he told them his girlfriend was waiting in the vehicle for him to get back so they continued to walk towards their cars together with the man while attempting to tell him the easiest method to go back to the highway he was looking for.

 This woman was being viciously attacked and there was nothing she could do about it. She had been knocked to the ground and as the man reached to grab her again, her friend reached for the gift her boyfriend had given her the year before. In that moment she remembered how silly she thought it was then, never did she think she’d ever need to have such a thing. Nevertheless she had promised her boyfriend that she would always carry it with her. And that night she was thankful that she had.

She pulled from her pocketbook, that had been laying nearby on the ground, the metallic pink tasers gun, aimed and fired. The guy never saw it coming. He was on the ground immediately! Both women managed break free and get into the safety of the restaurant and call for help.

By the end of the night I was not only well informed and no longer intimidated by the thought of using a tasers gun but I was also the proud owner of one!

Dont Allow Yourself to Be an Easy Target

June 8th, 2011

I read an article today that said that “men who rape women look for certain weaknesses in their victims”. Women who seem to be unprotected and unaware of their surroundings make the perfect victims. It’s important that women walk with a sense of self assurance, and purpose. That they hold their heads high and move with self confidence; that they are, or at least appear to be familiar with their surroundings. Places like parking garages, public restrooms and even evaluators are the kind of places that these attackers prefer to find their victims. Public, yet isolated locations are places where an attack on a victim would likely go unnoticed. Women who spend time in a parked car fussing over hair and makeup, or looking for keys and other things are prime targets for rapists. They are looking for distracted women.

As I was reading I couldn’t help but to think of all the times I have done just that, sat in my car in the bank parking lot balancing my checkbook. Stood outside my car after shopping looking for my keys, talked on my cell with a friend, completely unaware of who might be around. I have busied myself with a game on my cell phone instead of paying attention to the man standing beside me in the evaluator.  It’s not that I had never given any thought to the fact these things happen all the time, I just never realized how often I was putting myself in harm’s way. I was literally setting myself up to be a victim.

Every year thousands of women just like me, or you, your mother, sister, wife or girlfriend are raped or violently assaulted. The fact is many of these attacks could possibly have been avoided if the victims would have known a few basic facts.

Get Loud - If you are ever being attacked, the first thing you can do try defend yourself is to make a scene. You should scream as loud as you can or use a personal alarm to and try draw as much attention to yourself and the attacker as possible. The more noise you make, the better your chances of getting someone to help. With any luck your attacker will not want to bother with someone who is putting up such a fight. The risk of being caught because of your screaming may be enough to scare him off.

Electronic Pocket Whistle

Fight Back if Safe to Do So- One of the most important things I learned is that you should never allow your attacker to drag you off anywhere. Your chances that the attack will continue and intensify go up greatly if you are taken away from the scene. Every situation is different and you may be faced with the possibility that fighting your attacker may not be your best option. Go with your gut. But whenever possible you should fight! I have never thought of myself as a physically powerful woman. I am 5’ 1” tall and weigh about 110lbs, I’m not what one would consider tough by any means, but you may be amazed at the strength that you have when your life depends on it. Most women find that they kick, punch, scratch or do whatever is necessary to break free from their attacker.

We have all been told at one time or another that the best thing to do is to knee your attacker in the groin.  The truth is, a closed fist, a foot, even elbows are all effective in taking a man to the ground.  Another option is to pinch the skin underneath the top of his arm as hard as you can. Pinch someone there, and it’s going to hurt badly. Or, grab his fingers and bend them back as far as you can. Use your car keys if you have them available and aim for his eyes. Or be prepared at all times with a Heart Attack Keychain or other personal protection product that is easy to access and easy to use.

Heart Attack Key Chain

Arming yourself with the right self defense products can also be very effective if you are ever attacked. There are lots of options when it comes to personal protection products. Mace, Pepper Sprays, Tasers, personal Alarms and Stun Guns are just few that have been proven to save lives in the event of an attack.  Sometimes just letting your attacker know that you have the means to protect yourself can be enough to stop him. Simply screaming, “I have pepper spray and I’ll use it!” might do the trick or at least give you the time you will need to run for safety.

Get to Safety- You should always be thinking of the best way to get away from your attacker. Whether you can distract the attacker somehow or strike out at them to throw them off guard, it is important to get to safety as soon as possible so that the attack will stop.

Unfortunately we live in a world where these horrible things happen every day. Women are raped, robbed, abducted and assaulted by assailants who are looking for the most vulnerable victims.  It’s a reality that we all have to live with, but I think that the most important piece of information I have taken from this eye opening research is to never allow myself to be such an easy target again, and to arm myself with the information and self defense products we all need to protect ourselves.

Disguised Pepper Spray

June 3rd, 2011

Lipstick Pepper SprayBuying pepper spray products via the internet is really a habit of mine within the last several months. I first discovered their effectiveness from an officemate who had an event in utilizing defense sprays. It turned out that I would be thankful in time for heeding her advice that I have ready such non-lethal weapons for self-defense.

It had been past midnight once I got out of the office then. When I was about to hail a taxi cab, some man suddenly grabbed my arm and went for my handbag. I did my best to pull the bag clear of him. Intuitively, I pressed the trigger on the Stunning Ring pepper spray which I wore on a finger in my right hand.

The mugger was in disbelief to discover me carrying a disguised pepper spray. The effects were swift simply because it sent him experiencing difficulty seeing and breathing immediately. Upon incapacitating this total stranger, I raced towards direction of now alarmed onlookers where I would be safer.

Back when I’d been still buying pepper spray preceding the encounter, my idea would have been to get those which have a misleading camouflage. I suppose I made the correct call because the Stunning Ring pepper spray worked in defending me against a delinquent who thought mistakenly I was defenseless. He had no idea that my normal-looking ring was a mini pepper spray and had no chance of withstanding its strength once he was hit by it.
The Stunning Ring - Gold
I continued with buying pepper spray items since it frightened me to run into danger yet again. I searched for additions to whatever I already owned to ensure that I would be more prepared against wrongdoing, which is spreading by the minute.

I have since ordered two other defense sprays, a lipstick pepper spray and the Pepper Pen. If buying pepper spray, I normally go for those that are powerful, easy to operate and lightweight. Also, I find small pepper sprays to be ideal for the protection that I needed.
Although Pepper Pen can easily be mistaken for a regular pen, it is light and is available in a clever disguise, each of which makes it very easy to hide. This pepper spray pen can be kept in my bag for easier carriage no matter where I am.Pepper Pen

My lipstick pepper spray is just as handy with its disguised appearance of a tube of lipstick and can take down a goon located 10 feet from me. As women require stopping the bad guys, it provides me security with wider coverage.

Ban D McGinnes is a strong believer in being protected as opposed to being sorry. He provides a fantastic selection of self-defense Items to help keep you protected from danger. Items including pepper sprays, stun guns, personal alarms, Mace and Tasers.

Don’t Be A Victim – Safeguard Your Own Self By Using A Solid And Strong Self-Defense Pepper Spray

May 25th, 2011

WildFire 1lb Pepper Spray 18%The numerous positive reviews on pepper sprays have got me curious, and naturally how potent pepper spray effects are in keeping one secure against criminals.

My mate who is in L.A. has been raving about these goods for personal security. He shared with me an event with one because he was being bugged by this man one time. Fortunately for him, he had kept a pepper spray in his pants pocket and so he employed it on the rowdy when the latter tried to take him down.

When I heard the story, I realized that I should have one pepper spray at the minimum. My friend even emphasized that pepper sprays will not kill any individual. He was scheming to make me know that pepper spray effects won’t harm its target permanently so that I will not hesitate to dispense one when protecting myself against another individual.

The ½ oz. Pepper Shot with Auto Visor Clip was the first that I ever bought. This mini pepper spray can be utilized effectively on a wrongdoer within a distance of 6 to 8 feet, so I needn’t be close to him in order to bring him down. Making use of fine grains, it is deemed as much better when compared with defense sprays that have unrefined grains.

Perhaps the most pronounced of pepper spray effects is mucous membrane inflammation. When a pepper spray is utilized on anyone, he will have difficulty breathing. Moreover, he will be blinded momentarily due to swollen veins in the eyes. The end results usually last for 45 minutes so I have plenty of time to escape after spraying it into the opponent.

Another mini pepper spray that I procured was the ½ oz. Pepper Shot with colored injection molded holster. I love it because of its stylish key chain. Having a keychain pepper spray such as this one allows me to bring a private security item anywhere I like. I often keep it along with my vehicle keys.

I have already been assured that the no-nonsense pepper spray effects of this small pepper spray will give me the chance for getting out or ask for assistance. I am confident as well that it will debilitate any thug in a jiffy.

The Pepper Pen Pepper Shot Spray is the newest device that I have. It is a masked pepper spray that anyone would mistake for a writing pen. I have the benefit of shocking my attacker with it in more ways than he knows. He will be so surprised when I employ this inconspicuous self-defense weapon on him.

How To Use Mace

Mace Self Defense Spray

How to use Mace Self-defense Spray
Mace Triple Action self-defense spray possesses a unique formulation of CN-tear gas and OC-pepper solution in a solvent blend with dry nitrogen as a propellant. Together they feature our strongest, top choice and humane deterrent readily available for protection against attack.
Mace®  Personal Model Hot Pink 10% Pepper Spray
Whenever you sense that you are in a very damaging situation, carry your Mace defense spray in your hand, slip your thumb under the protection cover and be ready to spray the assailant by pressing down on the red button with your thumb.Notice how the unit is shaped so that you can tell by the feel how it should be held. The protection cover may prevent usage of the red button if you hold the unit backward. The shape of your self defense spray enables you to understand, even in the dark or in a stressful situation, when the device is properly oriented and ready for use.

If you must use your defensive spray, point and spray short bursts at the facial area of your assailant. Because of the oleoresin capsicum, direct eye or nasal contact offers more favorable effects. Don’t attempt to punish the attacker by continuous spraying because you may cause unnecessary suffering. Do not attempt to take the attacker into custody-you could be injured if you do. Contact the police when you are safely away.

Your self-defense spray is designed to be actuated in short 1/2 second bursts aimed at the face. When actuated, a stream of tear gas and oleoresin capsicum will issue from the unit a distance of approximately 10-12 feet (more or less, depending on the pressure of the defensive spray and wind conditions). Avoid spraying directly into the wind. Use the self defense spray when it is in the upright position, otherwise it may not function properly then or afterwards.

If you wish to rely on your unit as a defense, you should test the functioning of the spray periodically by discharging 1 or 2 bursts outdoors in a safe area away from all persons and animals in the vicinity. Take care that you do not exhaust the contents of the unit you intend to rely upon.

Your best protection is to avoid potentially dangerous situations if you can. Always be aware of your environment and the people surrounding you. Be especially alert at night.
