But none of these by themselves will keep you as safe as possible. To be as safe as possible you must take all the different methods and turn them into a custom fit self defense plan for yourself.

When it comes to personal safety it . Paying attention and being aware of what is around you is your first step towards self-defense. Avoiding and distancing yourself from circumstances that might cause you harm is up to you .

A great way to do this is by using what is called the safety boundary. The safety boundary is pretend circle that starts where you stand out to about 10 feet or so . By being aware what is approaching your boundary of safety you can potentially avoid a dangerous situation. If you were alone and someone you don’t know enters your boundary , you should attempt to distance yourself from that stranger. they must be able to touch you. If you maintain a boundary of safety of the 7 to 10 feet than this unknown person will not be able to reach you .

Here are a few things to keep in mind when working on your self defense

Don’t go walking around by yourself if you can . If you have something you need at the store .

Try and make sure you are in a group , or at least in public areas where there are many other people.

If you have to walk in the evening only walk where there are overhead lights .

Be aware of potential hiding places for dangerous strangers. This could be in alleys, by dumpsters, behind phone booths, ect. .

As you approach these potential hazardous areas extend your boundary of safety by distancing yourself from these obstacles.

If you follow this advice it has the potential to help you save your life . When it comes to self defense no one method will keep you perfectly safe. Take this advise along with other self defense methods to make sure you are safe as possiable

Pepper Spray Is Real Damn Old

When we think of self defense products these days usually one thing comes to mind… That’s pepper spray. But when we think of pepper spray, we are thinking of how we know it today . It has been in existence for a long time. No, maybe not in the same convenient form that we see around us these days but the basis was still there same.

To understand how pepper stay has been around so long you must first understand the makeup of pepper spray . A lot of people believe that pepper spray is some crazy mystery compound made of all sorts of crazy stuff and the only reason the word pepper is used is so it sounds nicer. The is surely not the truth. The makeup is very simple it is an extract of oleoresin capsicum from the chili pepper. For the most part is all nature but it can be concentrated making it very powerful .
Now that we know where pepper spray actually comes from we can understand how it has been used for so long. It goes all the way back to China hundreds of years ago. It was not uncommon for hot pepper s to be ground down and used as a means of self defense. The extreme burning and blinding of oleoresin capsicum made it a perfect weapon for close quarters combat. In fact it can even be traced to some early ninjas. It was very apparent from early on that pepper spray was a highly powerful tool for defending yourself .

In the 1960′s pepper spray starting moving towards the modern version that we all know . During that era there was a lot of research and development that went into designing new chemical agents such as tear gas. As a result of all this research there were several different types of crowd control agents developed including pepper spray.

In the 1980′s it was marketed under the name Halt Animal Repellent and was found very useful by postal workers to defend themselves from dogs. Pepper spray was soon picked up by hunters and forestry agents as a self defense measure against wild animals. Still at this time it was not widely use by the public.

It wasn’t until the 1990s that pepper spray really started to take hold. The FBI promoted it as an effective crowd control method and soon thousands of law enforcement agencies decided to use it . Once it was standard issue for most police officers it moved its way to the general product. By then it had been made much easier to have your own pepper spray due to the small sizes of the containers. You also didn’t have to worry about where to buy pepper spray because many stored took it on. It made it a very easy self defense option for many men and women.
Even today pepper spray still stands as the most popular self defense weapon out there . It comes in many different shapes and sizes starting small with a keychain pepper spray, then moving up to mid size bottles for your purse or pocket and finally you have the extra large sizes for your home or business.

Pepper spray is an extremely effective way to keep yourself safe. It packs a huge punch and will take down almost any attacker. I defiantly recommend it to everybody.

I’m a bit of a pepper spray freak. When it comes to protecting yourself pepper spray is the best stuff out there.

Most of it is very powerful and will take down most assailants in a short 1 second burst. There is a reason why pepper spray is the most popular defense for college students as well as women. It comes in so many different shapes and size that anyone can find the perfect type for them.

In comparison, if you use a stun gun on somebody that has a heart problem you could kill them. If you are defending yourself that you probably wouldn’t get into much trouble but it means you would have to spend a whole bunch of time in court which no one wants to do.

If you need to get yourself some protecting I highly recommend getting pepper spray. Having a bottle of pepper spray with you is like having a huge body guard go with you everywhere you go. Now that’s what I call protection.

With the economy going down the drain the crime rate is going to go up. That is a proven fact that when the money goes away crime goes up. People like us are out there everyday working all day long and now we have to worry about someone trying to steal our hard earned money But think about this. Some crazy crack head tries to much you but then he meets the business end of you pepper spray. Instead of him messing your day up, you messed his up. That’s the way to go. Don’t be a victim, keep yourself safe with pepper spray. There is no better self defense product out there to keep you and you family safe.

Proper Use Of Pepper Spray And Other Self Defense Products

selfdefenseman — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:20:03 +0000

In today’s society you don’t have to look far to see the effects of increasing crime rates. Year after year the number of murders, kidnapping, sexual crimes seems to rise. The fact is no one is safe from these kinds of crimes; they are present in every state, city, and town. As sad as it sounds these crimes are especially common against women and children.

Many people feel that their best option for protection is to purchase a gun. Owning and carrying a gun can actually be more dangerous than not having one. The fact is many people that own guns are not trained in using them. The majority of criminals have experience with guns and the majority of people with them are not trained to use them and have never even pulled the trigger. This makes it very easy for an assailant to obtain the gun from your possession and use it on you. On top of that obvious draw back, it is difficult to obtain a gun legally.

However, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The self defense industry is growing ever larger as time goes on. This means there is more and more choices for individuals out there to protect themselves. There is a whole ocean of choice for everyone, these range from pepper spray, stun guns, tasers, personal alarms, batons, and many more. It doesn’t matter what your situation is there is the perfect self defense product out there waiting for you.

Pepper Spray:

Pepper spray is one of the most common self defense products out there. It is also known as OC (oleoresin capsicum) spray. There are several different types of pepper spray out there including liquid, gel, or mist. On top of the different types there are different potencies. Pepper spray is measured in scoville heat units which is the percent of Oleoresin Capsicum in the pepper spray itself. This is actually the same way that hot sauce is measured. Why you ask? Because pepper spray is actually an extract of peppers, hence the term pepper spray. Some of the hottest spray out there is rated up to 18% which is very strong and effective.

Just like with most other self defense products there are many different packaging options that look like harmless common items such as: lipstick, cell phones, pagers, and key chains. This means you have the ability to catch your assailant by surprise and regain the upper hand.

Stun Guns:

Once of the most common types of self defense weapons is a stun gun or other related electroshock weapons. Most stun gun type weapons release a very high voltage shock, up to 1 million volts, of static electricity. These weapons may seem very dangerous but due to the low amperage there is no permanent damage caused to the person it is used on. The electrical shock effects the nervous system and causes rapid convulsions of the muscles that will reduce the blood sugar and temporarily demobilize the person it is used on.

One of the very appealing points for stun guns is the fact they come in many shapes and sizes. They range from 80,000 volts all the way up to 1 million volts. On top of that they are available as many common items such as, Cigarette lighters, cell phones, pens, and flashlights.

Tasers:

Another type of electroshock device is known as a taser. A taser is similar to a stun in that uses an electrical current to incapacitate the individual it is used on. The major difference between the two is how it passes that electrical current. A stun gun needs to be used by obtaining direct contact with the assailant where a taser uses two probes attached to wire and normally uses compressed gas to launch at the attacker. Tasers are a most costly solution but are much more effective and safe for the users. The most common deployment of tasers is by law enforcement officers.

Overall most self defense products will help you get the upper hand as long as they are used properly. They do not guarantee that you will be safe but they surely help. When it comes down to it you best defense is to use your head and pay attention to your surroundings and know when something is not right so you can avoid it.
