Yesterday, I received an alarming e-mail at work from a police officer telling me how to tell if a mirror is one-way or two-way by looking for a gap between an object such as your fingernail placed up against the mirror, and the reflective image of the object. As the myth goes, if there is a gap, the test proves that the mirror is, in fact, one-way. No gap a
Means the mirror is a two way mirror and someone could be watching you from the other side and your personal safety is at risk.
Here is a copy of the actual e-mail I received:
The Fingernail Test
Hi There - this is very interesting! A policewoman who travels all over the US and gives seminars and techniques for business women passed this on.
Do you know how to determine if a mirror is 2-way or not?
This is not to scare you, but to make you aware. This is really interesting. Try it with a 'regular' mirror, and you can easily see what the gap means. This is a MUST read!!
When we visit toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc., how many of you know for sure that the seemingly ordinary mirror hanging on the wall is a real mirror, or actually a 2-way mirror? (i.e., they can see you may be taking pictures], but you can't see them).
There have been many cases of people installing 2-way mirrors in female changing rooms. It is very difficult to positively identify the surface by just looking at it. So, how do we determine with any amount of certainty what type of mirror we are looking at?
Just conduct this simple test: Place the tip of your fingernail [ball-point pen, eyebrow pencil. any object] against the reflective surface and if there IS A GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.
However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE, BECAUSE IT IS a 2-WAY MIRROR!
REMEMBER...every time you see a mirror, do the "fingernail test." It doesn't cost you anything, it is simple to do, and it might save you from getting visually raped!"
REMEMBER..."NO SPACE, LEAVE THE PLACE!"
Ladies: Share this with your girlfriends, sisters, daughters, etc.
Men: Share this with your wives, daughters, daughters-in law, mothers, girlfriends and/or friends.
Everyone...please give this wide dissemination!"
In short;
This simple test will determine if that mirror on the wall is there for you to fix your hair, OR it is a two way mirror there for a pedophile or stalker to watch your activities. Either way, this is sensitive information that everyone should share and be aware of. There are reported cases across the United States were these two way mirrors have been found in truck stops, hotel restrooms, shopping malls and more. Please share this information with all of your loved ones and family members.
Be prepared and invest in a personal defense weapon just in case you need to defend yourself. Personal defense weapons come in a variety of shapes, sizes, models, and most are very affordable when compaired to becoming a victim of a violent crime.

Hiking Safety
Backpacking and hiking is quickly becoming a popular trend across America. It is both challenging and adventurous. And it appeals to young and old, male and female. It is something virtually anyone can take part in, and there are countless options on how and where to start. Backpacking is a great way to get into shape and have fun at the same time. Whether you are going for a week or for a night, you will have a more relaxed and enjoy your camping vacation if you are well organized and prepared.
If you're a seasoned camper you are probably well aware of the equipment required for your trip, however, few hikers think of self defense as a concern. Kidnapping, abductions, rapes, and violent assaults are common in nationwide media coverage and remind us of the credible threat and need for self defense products in the backcountry.
As you are packing, check your camping equipment and make sure that everything is in good order and you have included some personal defense products such as a defense spray, taser, or a stun gun.
Defense spray also referred to as OC or pepper spray is a very effective inflammatory agent that can easily irritate the eyes and result in pain, temporary blindness, and tears of any potential threat you may encounter either human or animal. Pepper spray is an organic based agent that comes from cayenne peppers. The spray will normally come in canister form, which his often times small enough to be carried in your pocket while hiking to your campsite.
Taser International recently released the latest personal defense device for the general public, the Taser C2. The Taser C2 was specifically designed for the general public to truly feel safe in today’s troubled times. TASER products are giving people the power they need to take control and protect themselves. The TASER C2 utilizes the same technology used in TASER International’s law enforcement models to effectively stun an assailant up to fifteen feet away.
For all outdoor enthusiasts, safety should be the first consideration and it must be in front of the mind at all times. There can be several hazards in backpacking and a person who does not think about being safe could fall prey. Territorial wildlife is a commonly encountered threat when in the wilderness. Having the ability to think clearly, remain calm, and having a personal defense weapon readily available will decrease the chances of becoming a victim of an attack.
Another consideration in personal safety while in the backcountry is being aware of other people. Popular hiking trails and wilderness areas have been grounds for violent attacks and kidnappings in the past.
As an example in 1974, hikers discovered a grave yard of bones in a Washington forest, later identified as belonging to missing women from both Washington and Utah. Investigators from both states communicated together and came up with a profile and composite sketch of the man named "Ted" who approached women for help, sometimes appearing helpless with a cast on his arm or crutches. This man was later identified as the notorious Ted Bundy.
People backpack for different reasons. Some do it for the great exercise, some because of the adventure and love of nature. Others backpack as a way to learn and explore the outdoors. Whatever the reason, there are large and expanding numbers of backpackers. They explore and they love the wilderness, and have the common goal of a safe backpacking experience which can provide memories that last a lifetime.

What Personal Defense Weapon is Best for the Home
Recently I conducted a personal defense seminar specifically discussing personal defense spray, the C2 Taser, and Stun Guns for a group of men and women all interested in protecting themselves and their families. One question that kept coming up was what personal defense weapon is the best to have in the house where young curious children reside? Is a Gun, Taser, Personal Defense Spray, or some other product the best choice?
The best way to answer the question is this. All personal defense weapons are made with one purpose and we all know that is to provide protections to individuals who possess them. That being said, each of them requires training. The level of training depends on 1) what item is being used, 2) The user’s comfort level in handling the item, 3) Their ability to identify a true and credible threat upon their health and safety.
In my seminars, I remind my audience to keep in mind that if they choose to arm themselves with a firearm, the results of their use is always has a permanent result. Weather the result is scaring, internal organ damage, or death.
In my opinion, those who have children in their homes should keep all personal defense weapons secure at all times but readily available for use if they are needed. Remember, a personal defense weapon is only effective if it is used. Purchasing an item for personal protection and leaving it locked in the glove box of a vehicle is not a good practice to get into. You need to have the item in your possession in the event you need to use it.
Children are naturally curious and learn from the results of their curiosity. As adults, we are all responsible for keeping a safe environment for our children by not allowing access to personal defense weapons until the child is mature enough to understand how to use them, that they are not toys, and the results they are capable of providing. All of these factors need to be considered when choosing a personal defense weapon for home protection.
Items such as the Taser C2, Stun Guns, and Personal Defense Spray are very effective but they all have their own pros and cons. However, they all have something in common which are no prolonged effects on their intended or accidental target. The same cannot be said of a firearm, the results are far too often devastating injuries and in some cases death.
It is for this reason I feel strongly that non-lethal personal defense are a better choice for parents, individuals with limited knowledge of firearms, and those who are not comfortable using a firearm. Misuse of firearms or the lack of knowledge often times lead to accidental discharges and injuries which could have been avoided.
The best way to determine which product is the best choice for each person is to first explain the pros and the cons of each weapon; and then go from there to match them up to the specific individual.
Pepper spray, also known as personal defense spray or MACE, is a common personal defense weapon that is inexpensive and easy to use. It is 10% solution of cayenne pepper. The active ingredient is oleoresin capsicum or OC. It attacks the mucous membranes causes tearing, intense eye pain and even temporary blindness. It comes in variety of sizes and applications (fog, stream, foam). They are all concealable and hide easily in a purse or pocket.
PRO’s
Inexpensive, easy to use, easy to conceal are capable of bringing most attackers to their knees rendering them helpless for up to 45 minutes.
CON’s
Limited amount of uses, target specific to the face and eyes, and have a risk of self contamination of the user.
The Taser C2 is by far the best personal defense alternative available on the market today. Capable of delivering a 30 second cycle of 50,000 volt’s of shaped pulse technology to your attacker from up to 15 feet away. The Taser C2 has been tested by law enforcements who determined it has the same stopping power of a 9mm handgun but does not leave long term injuries to the attacker. The Taser C2 deploys 2 darts attached to the Taser by conductive wires and is designed to be left behind by the victim if it has to be used and is backed by a lifetime guarantee by filing a police report if used. We will replace the Taser free of charge in the event you ever have to use it. Your life is worth more than the cost of replacing you personal defense weapon. (Please refer to the below list of Cities and States who have restrictions on Electronic Control Devises).
PRO’S
Backed by a lifetime replacement guarantee, Deployed from 15 feet away keeping the attacker at a distance, has the ability to be used up to 50 times with each Lithium Power Magazine, comes in a variety of colors.
CON’S
Requires a felony background check which costs $9.95 to be completed on the user for activation. Some restrictions, illegal in several states (check your local law enforcement)
Stun Guns are an effective personal defense alternative. They are available in a variety of sizes and voltages. Ranging anywhere between 350,000 to 4.5 million volts of electricity, they are capable of knocking an attacker to the ground. Stun guns are available in a variety of sizes and shapes; such as cell phones, pens and even a lipstick! They are simple to use and more suited for hands on situations when an attacker gets inside your comfort zone.
PRO’S
Stun Guns are inexpensive, easy to use, and come in a variety of appearances as discussed above.
CON’S
Illegal in several states, limited by the life of the batteries, and you have to be close personal contact with your attacker and apply the shock directly to his or her body. I feel this is a big factor to consider. No attacker should be allowed close enough to use a Stun Gun, this is a bad situation.
Any of the other 50 states are legal to possess a stun gun however you should check with your local law enforcement regarding their restrictions before purchasing a Stun Gun.
Choosing the right personal defense weapon is an important decision. You should evaluate your own personal needs like your lifestyle, what you want out of the product, and your training and background.

In Your College Student Prepared for the Experience
The thought of college is a very exciting time in a young teen’s life. A brand new set of experiences are just ahead and the thought of independence and separation from parental rules is appealing to any teen. College life teaches important lessons about life which may turn out more important than those they learn in the classrooms. College dorm living can also be a learning experience; however it can be a dangerous one, especially for young women. Women need to be aware that their college checklist includes the knowledge and awareness of campus living and the potential threats associated with it.
Media coverage about college living has taught us that student safety is a nationwide concern. Kidnappings, rape, and violent assaults occur daily on college campuses daily. Student safety and personal defense should be the first thought for any student venturing into the college life.
Education, awareness and common sense can be one of the biggest steps in preventing a student from becoming a victim of crime while experiencing college life. Some of the basics steps of prevention should include, always keeping your dorm room secure and never let a stranger into your dorm or apartment building. The addition of a door alarm for your room will decrease the chances of an intruder entering your dorm with the intention of committing a crime.
Statistics have shown that criminals are not opposed to the commission of crimes in secluded areas of college campuses. Crimes are frequently encountered in populated and well traveled areas.
Some simple practices every student should consider include, utilize well lit, well travelled areas when walking to and from destinations on campus. Walk with friends, especially at night. Finally, invest in you safety by adding a non-lethal personal defense weapon to you daily tools. Tasers, stun guns, and pepper spray are just a few effective quality protective products with a history of successful uses on assailants.
Tasers utilize a 30 second cycle of 50,000 volt to incapacitate attackers threatening bodily harm. Capable of being deployed from a distance of up to 15 feet, Tasers are designed to be left behind by the victim allowing then to retreat to safety and are backed by a lifetime replacement guarantee by the manufacturer.
Stun guns are a good non-lethal self defense alternative proven to be very effective in fighting off a potential attacker. Utilizing high voltage, stun guns momentarily render attackers defenseless "stunning" them and giving the victim a chance to get away. While stun guns are another good, non-lethal self-defense method, they are not allowed in all states.
Pepper spray products are a cost effective tool when used properly. Keep in mind that some states have some restrictions on pepper spray so be sure to check with your local law enforcement before you carry pepper spray. When buying pepper spray, look for the OC rating. They range from 10 percent to 18 percent OC.

Tip's for Prevention
According to Federal Bureau of Investigation statistics, 4 out of every 10 women have been a victim of rape or violent assault and 1 of the remaining 6 will fall victim to one of these vicious crimes at some point of their life. It is estimated that a sexual assault or rape is being committed every 60 seconds, here in the United.
There are some basic steps that you can take to help lower your risk of falling victim to sexual or violent assault. Some of these things you might already know but many women still ignore them because they believe "it won't happen to me", sadly it can happen.
1. Always know exactly where you are.
In the event you are confronted with a threat, you need to know your exact location. A 911 dispatcher will also ask you where you are, be prepared to give cross street intersections or physical address locations. This will provide you with the best chance of responding law enforcement officers finding you.
2. Be prepared to act.
Have your keys ready in hand before you get to your car. This will prevent you from having to search for your keys and reduces the time it takes to open the car door. Once inside the car, lock your doors and immediately drive away.
3. Avoid dark areas of streets and parking lots.
While walking on the street late at night, make sure you walk in well lighted areas of streets and parking lots. Criminals utilize the dark as cover and hide in wait for vulnerable women.
4. Invest in a quality self defense product and be prepared to use it.
Investing in a quality personal protection product and having it readily available for use is a cheap insurance policy for your safety. There are many self defense products on the market today which are very effective in providing you with a chance to get away from a determined criminal. My personal recommendation is the Taser C2. This product deploys 2 probes from a distance of 15 feet and packs a punch of 50,000 volts on you attacker dropping him like a bad habit. The Taser C2 is backed by a lifetime warranty and replacement guarantee.
5. Develop a number of daily routines.
Have various routes to and from work and the grocery store. Try to travel a different route each day avoiding the possibility of someone identifying your routine.
6. Always be aware of your surroundings.
Look around the area before getting into their car. Look for people who do not fit the area and appear to be lingering around for no reason. Criminals prey on vulnerability and have been known to study their victims prior to the attack in an attempt to establish a pattern.
Having a plan and always carrying a personal defense product such as pepper spray, a Taser, Stun Gun is always a good idea. After all, you are the first line of defense in your personal safety. Don’t wait for something to happen before you invest into your personal safety. Act now, you own it to yourself and your loved ones.

Workplace Violence Considerations for Safety
As society changes with the struggling economy, more and more people are losing jobs due to budgetary cutbacks. This problem is directly associated with workplace violence and it’s time for all of us to start thinking about our personal safety while at work.
Emergency response procedures are a vital element in protecting employees. As a veteran police officer, I have been personally involved in active shooter incidents, fire, assaults, and medical calls all occurring at commercial properties. Assuring your employer has an emergency action plan for commonly encountered incidents will no doubt save lives and prevent the incident from being worse. If your employer does not have a documented plan, develop one among your coworkers to include communication and keywords to discreetly identify trouble. Make frequent changes to passwords as employee rosters change with termination and attrition.
Proper placement of security cameras can prevent theft and be a major investigative tool in the event of a physical attack, particularly when they are placed frequently traveled areas or high occupancy around the office. Fake or dummy cameras have been known to be somewhat effective, however when it comes down to an incident actually occurring, they do not video the incident rendering them useless.
Making a small investment into your personal safety is always a good idea and considered as an insurance policy to good health. There are many personal defense weapons on the market that can be purchased for a reasonable amount of money. Some of these weapons include Tasers, Stun Guns, and Personal Defense Sprays. Another good self defense device to keep around the office is personal alarms. Audible personal alarms are capable of emitting a 120db tone to alert others of trouble or draw attention to you when confronted by threatening conditions. Personal defense weapons and tools have given people around the country the confidence to protect themselves when needed.
Every workplace has specific dangers within their own industry. The fact is, some industries are more susceptible to these events than others, although no industry is completely safe from violence. Having a solid action plan and the tools necessary to deploy it go a long way. Criminals prey on vulnerability and rely on all of us to be heavily involved in our work so we do not notice the signs of violence. A good action plan shows confidence and determination to survive which in turn deters crime.
Quality surveillance equipment is essential in fighting workplace violence. The days of the old affordable black and white VHS tapes are long gone and completely unreliable for investigative purposes. Quality digital video recording equipment is the last line of defense when it comes to identifying criminals. Remember that workplace safety extends beyond physical altercations, sexual harassment and other issues; the methods for addressing these should also be clearly outlined in the employee handbook too.
Criminal activities can take place anywhere and at any time, including offices and other commercial properties, homes, and outdoors. By keeping your personal safety in mind wherever you go, you can be prepared for these possibilities. Whether your office is protected by security guards or not, the personal safety of ever ne on its premises must be overseen by quality video recording equipment capable of identification in low light conditions.

Emergency response procedures are a vital element in protecting employees. As a veteran police officer, I have been personally involved in active shooter incidents, fire, assaults, and medical calls all occurring at commercial properties. Assuring your employer has an emergency action plan for commonly encountered incidents will no doubt save lives and prevent the incident from being worse. If your employer does not have a documented plan, develop one among your coworkers to include communication and keywords to discreetly identify trouble. Make frequent changes to passwords as employee rosters change with termination and attrition.
Proper placement of security cameras can prevent theft and be a major investigative tool in the event of a physical attack, particularly when they are placed frequently traveled areas or high occupancy around the office. Fake or dummy cameras have been known to be somewhat effective, however when it comes down to an incident actually occurring, they do not video the incident rendering them useless.
Making a small investment into your personal safety is always a good idea and considered as an insurance policy to good health.

Are Personal Defense Plans Really Necessary?
Many of us sit at home every evening and watch news of rape, carjacking, and personal attacks which happen on a daily basis, yet we have all succumbed to the belief that this will never happen to us or one of our loved ones. As a veteran police office, I can honestly tell you this is a common problem in society. We must take alternative actions to protect ourselves. Personal defense weapons are an inexpensive alternative to becoming a victim of a violent personal attack.
Society and cost of living has made it necessary for many of us to work longer hours or sometimes multiple jobs. These issues place us in vulnerable positions because we constantly have other things on our minds other than our personal safety, we rely on local law enforcement to keep us safe. The reality is simple though. Law enforcement consists of proactive enforcement with officers concentrating on high crime areas and reactive responses to reported crimes. Although proactive enforcement deters crime, career criminals prey on vulnerability and patterns we set for our daily routine. Simply put, you are your own first line of defense. Here are three tips to keep in mind to ensure your safety:
1. Be proactive. Understand that at some point in your life, you may be confronted by a criminal. Rather than waiting to become a victim, develop an action plan for safety. Start by changing your routine frequently. Have multiple routes to and from work and home to avoid being followed home by criminals. Arm yourself with a stun gun, a canister of pepper spray, or Taser and train yourself how to use it properly without hesitation. Make your home more secure with home safety alarms and other products. Taking action now should be considered as a cost effective insurance policy into your personal safety. You owe it to yourself and your family.
2. Practice your techniques. Many people who carry personal defense weapons believe they are safe simply by possessing the item. You MUST practice using the device you purchase. If you do not know how to use the product, it is rendered useless when you need it. Be prepared to use it without hesitation. A quality personal defense weapon can save your life in the event of a personal attack.
3. Be aware of your surroundings. Take the time to look around before you get out of your car. Be aware of persons in the area who appear to not fit in. Park in well lit areas of the parking lot. At night park towards the front of the lot near the building. If necessary, drive around the lot until a parking space becomes available . Often times these areas are covered by surveillance cameras.
Making a few changes in your life is an easy start to defending yourself against crime. Criminals rely on our busy schedules and vulnerability and often time follow us around to learn our routine. Change things up a bit and don’t get in the habit of doing the same things daily. Always remember your personal safety is the most important part of your daily routine.

Personal Defense, Tactics We All Can Use!
Since 1997, the Federal Bureau of Investigations has reported an increase in violent crime in categories of rape, sexual assault, and violent attacks. Statistics show that, 1,382,012 violent crimes were reported to law enforcement in 2008.
There were 454.5 violent crimes reported per 100,000 inhabitants. Aggravated assaults accounted for 60.4 percent. Robbery accounted for 32.0 percent, forcible rape accounted for 6.4 percent and murders accounted for 1.2 percent.
With the rise in violent crime, it has become apparent that the topic of self defense
is not a commonly practiced tactic of the general population.
There are a few simple tactics which be practiced by anyone concerned about their personal safety and that of their loved ones. These tactics are taught to recruit police officers in law enforcement academy settings and they are easy enough for every one of us to implement into our daily routine.

Many of us have long commutes to and from work and spend an average of 4-6 hours on the cell phone planning daily activities. Let's face it, most of us pack our day with more activities that anyone in their right mind would attempt to complete. The result?, We become far to busy completing tasks that our personal health
and safety become less important.
Many career criminals make a living studying our daily routine's to determine at which point we are most vulnerable, and that's when they attack. We need to train ourselves to slow down and be aware of our surroundings.
Be aware of individuals who appear to not belong in the area. (ie. bulky clothing on a hot summer day). These are indicators of potential trouble that we should stay clear of when possible.
If you are forced to do your shopping at night, take extra time to find a parking space in the front of the parking lot. Make sure the area is illuminated well by street lamps.
Look around before exiting your car. Look for people hanging around the area who have taken an interest in you. If you see someone who does not fit the area, don't get out of the car and just drive away. Worst case scenario, your were wrong about them and didn't get your groceries but you are still safe.
Many people across the country have become victims because their everyday activities have overrun their lives. Training yourself to be aware of your surroundings is simple to do for all of us and quite possibly may prevent us becoming a victim. Criminals prey on vulnerability.

Personal Defense Misconceptions Answered
There is a common misconception by the general public with regards to personal self defense weapons. When this topic comes up, most people believe that non-lethal self defense weapons are illegal to carry and require a special permit to carry them, this simply is not true.
Due to media coverage in the past, the topic of self defense is commonly associated with firearms and the laws restricting their possession. Few people realize that there is a wide range of non-lethal personal defense weapons available on the market which require no permit and are totally legal to carry by the general public. However, it must be noted that some of these non-lethal weapons do have some restrictions in certain states, so please check you local, state, and federal laws in you area before deciding to make a purchase. Below are some examples of affordable effective non-lethal self defense weapons available to the general public.
Tasers:
One of the latest self defense products to hit the market is the Taser C2, This non-lethal self defense weapon is the tool of choice for women in real estate, joggers, and college students around the country. Police studies have found the Taser C2 to be as effective as a 9mm handgun. The C2 can be discharged from a safe distance of 15 feet, or used as a drive stun if close quarter applications are necessary.
The Taser C2 works by discharging two probes from a cartridge into an attacker. The probes are attached to the Taser by wire contacts capable of firing up to 15 feet. 50,000 volts travels through the wires into the probes causing involuntary muscle contractions forcing an attacker to become incapacitated and fall to the ground.
The Taser C2 has a lifetime replacement guarantee. The units are designed to be left behind in the event they have to be used. The 30 second cycle was developed to give users a chance to get away and retreat to a safe distance. By filing a police report about the incident and forwarding a copy to the manufacturer your unit will be replaced free of charge. We believe your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of a Taser C2.
The Taser C2 requires a felony background be conducted for activation. This background check cost's $9.95 and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Some states have restrictions on electronic control devices (E.C.D.'s). Tasers are currently prohibited in NY, NJ, WI, MI, RI, MA, D.C., and HI.
Pepper Spray:
Pepper spray is a very affordable and effective personal self defense tool. pepper spray comes in many forms. The most effective form of pepper spray is a concentration of 10% to 18% O.C. (Oleoresin Capsicum). This is a very potent concentration of Cayenne Pepper with a heat rating of 2 to 3 million scoville heat units. Capsaicin is a chemical compound which stimulates nerve endings in the skin and mucous membranes causing great pain and discomfort virtually incapacitating and attacker. Pepper spray is very affordable and an absolute must for anyone concerned with personal safety.

Self Defense & Self Defense Products How Do You Decide?
With all of the various types of Self Defense Products on the market today, how do you determine which product it right for YOU and for what situation? I can honestly answer this one It is nothing but a personal choice. You must have some basic knowledge of the product you are thinking about purchasing. Some products are very simple to use such as pepper spray and electronic whistles and others can sometimes be just a little more intimidating to use such as kubotans, stun guns or telescopic stun batons.

Some products are very simple to use such as pepper spray and electronic whistles and others can sometimes be just a little more intimidating to use such as kubotans, stun guns or telescopic stun batons.
Regardless of what self defense product you choose, you should practice and become familiar with the self defense weapon. The reason I call it a weapon is because you will be using it as one. You MUST be confident so when the need arises you react instinctively and with FORCE. You are being attacked and you DO have the right to protect yourself and your family
Do as much as you can to avoid a confrontation anticipation and avoidance are the key words. If you get caught up in a situation, try to talk to an aggressor without provoking them. Practice relaxation, as appearing fearful or stressed can actually provoke an attack. Remember that body language is important in aggressive situations, so maintain a comfortable distance between you and the aggressor.
This technique is not always successful and that is when you MUST to be ready to ACT.
Steady yourself if danger threatens. Panic can disable you, so again it's useful to learn how to keep control in a difficult situation. And if you must fight back, adopt what police term the bash and dash approach. Primary targets are the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, throat, groin, knees or shins choose whichever is easiest to get to.
Let's talk about some Self Defense Products:
Pepper Spray
OC is an inflammatory agent. Contact with mucous membranes like eyes, nose, throat and lungs causes instant capillary dilation. This results in major tearing of the eyes, if not temporary blindness, and breathing restriction. Sprayed into an attacker's face, pepper spray is an excellent self defense product the victim will be incapacitated long enough for you to get away or get help. And the effects are not long lasting; you needn't worry that you've caused damage as you could with mace or tear gas.
he kubotan is legal and entirely unregulated. To most people, the Kubotan is little more than a nondescript key ring. While the Kubotan is not particularly intimidating, it remains an effective self defense installment. It really can save your life.
Stun Guns and How They Work
Stun guns use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable an attacker for several minutes. The stun gun does not rely on pain for results. The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attacker's muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly. This rapid work cycle instantly depletes the attackers blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid.
In short,he is unable to produce energy for his muscles,and his body is unable to function properly. The stun gun also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control and direct voluntary muscle movement. When the attacker's neuromuscular system is overwhelmed and controlled by the stun gun he loses his balance. Should the attacker be touching you, the current will NOT pass to your body!
There are numerous types of stun guns on the market today. Each one has a role to play. This again comes down to personal choice. Stun Guns can range from 50,000 volts up to 1,000,000 volts. All are classified as Non Lethal Self Defense Weapons. My preference in a stun gun is the Stun Master Hot Shot. This choice is due to the size and the wallop that it provides. If I am attacked the Hot Shot is going to Mess up the attacker's day!
With a stunning device, you must check your local laws to ensure it is legal to purchase and use.
Telescopic Stun Baton:
The telescopic stun baton that I prefer protects you in three ways a Light, a loud 120db Alarm and 800,000 volts of stopping power. It's rechargeable so you never have to buy batteries. Its 21.5 inches long when fully extended, and only 13 inches when collapsed.
The full length of the metal part is electrified. If the attacker tries to grab the Telescopic Stun Baton from you, he will be shocked. A push of the trigger immediately expands the Telescopic Stun Baton and starts shocking. Just push it on the end to collapse. It is very easy to do.
You shouldn't worry about being shocked should the attacker be touching you. Won't happen! The current will not pass to you. It will shock through a 1/2 inch of clothing.
With a stunning device, you must check your local laws to ensure it is legal to purchase and use.
I will repeat an earlier statement Do as much as you can to avoid a confrontation anticipation and avoidance. If and when this is not possible, PROTECT YOURSELF.

The 30 second cycle was developed to give users a chance to get away and retreat to a safe distance. By filing a police report about the incident and forwarding a copy to the manufacturer your unit will be replaced free of charge. We believe your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of a Taser C2.
Buyer's interested in obtaining a Taser C2 or other models are encouraged to check with their local laws and regulations regarding possession and use of Taser products. Some states have restrictions on electronic control devices (E.C.D.'s). Tasers are currently prohibited in NY, NJ, WI, MI, RI, MA, D.C., and HI.
Upon purchase and delivery of the Taser C2, a felony background check ($9.95) is required to activate the unit. Simply contact Taser International to complete the background check and upon successful completion they will give the user an activation code and instruction of how to activate the unit. Once activated, the C2 is ready to be used to protect the user and their family.

Personal Self Defense Considerations
Personal Self Defense Considerations
Experienced martial artists frequently brag about having the ability to fend off multiple attackers at once and come out of the incident victorious. Although I am sure this has some truth to it depending on each persons level of training and experience, the fact is most Americans do not have near the training necessary for a close quarter combat scenario.
Fact is this, unless you have an extensive background in many different styles of martial arts the best alternative for self defense is arming yourself with a personal defense weapon. Many of the skilled martial artist's who fight in the Mixed Martial Art competitions today find they are skilled in stand up boxing or Maui-Thai Kickboxing but when the fight ends up on the ground, their ground fighting skills are in serious need of work. Remember these guy's train hundreds of hours in a gym against opponents with better training.
In my 23 years of training in the arts of Tae-Kwon-Do, Brazilian Jiujitsu, and Karate all of my master instructors taught that the only winner of a fight is the person that never got into a fight to start with, however if you are interested in investing in your self defense training, I would suggest one of the following styles;
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Statistics show that most altercations end up on the ground with opponents ground fighting trying to gain the upper hand on the other. Brazilian Jiujitsu teaches ground fighting skills, joint manipulation and submission holds. Acquiring these skills can make a difference between being a victim or walking away from an attack.
Krav Maga
Krav Maga is an eclectic hand-to hand combat system developed in Israel which involves wrestling, grappling, and striking techniques. This fierce combination of skills give users a well defined array of tools to defend against personal attacks. However, as with BJJ, dedication and determination is required to reach an attainable level of training necessary to be successful.
Aikido
Aikido on a purely physical level it is an art involving some throws and joint locks that are derived from Jujitsu and some throws and other techniques derived from Kenjutsu. Aikido focuses not on punching or kicking opponents, but rather on using their own energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement.
Although all of the arts are very effective in defending ones self, it is suggested that a personal defense weapon be added to the personal defense arsenal. What the general public does not know is that usually when a fight goes to the ground in a close quarter combat scenario, both opponents involved sustain some sort of injury or another. Is a ground fight can be avoided by utilizing a personal defense weapon from a distance, well, then it goes without saying that it is the best course of action. A good rule of thumb to follow is this, THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE WITH BETTER TRAINING AND SKILLS THAN YOU.

When the topic of personal safety is brought up, most people consider the idea of having a hand gun for their protection. It is important to note that in all situations where a gun was used in a personal defense situation, the result left a long lasting impression of everyone involved. Permanent injuries to the attacker and re-occurring mental issues of the victim not to mention potential civil and possible criminal litigation. Sure, some may say when referring to the attacker's actions that "He had it coming", right? Well, there are documented cases throughout the nation where this was not the case at all. The simple fact is this, there are a variety of non-lethal self defense weapons available on the market today that are just as effective as firearms, the best part is there is no long term effect's on either party.

Tasers

The TASER® can also be used to follow up with Stun Drives.
Personal Defense Sprays:
In addition to causing an attacker pain, Pepper SprayPepper Spray swells the mucous membranes, which makes breathing difficult, and swells the veins in the eyes, causing the eyes to close. These effects can last up to 45 minutes and cause no permanent damage. Pepper Spray is a target specific non-lethal self defense weapon. Thus; to be most effective an attacker must be sprayed in the face. Pressure Point Control Tools: These tools can be very effective, however they require close personal contact and are considered to be a target specific weapon. In order for them to be effective, a pressure point must be manipulated to cause pain compliance. They require knowledge of pressure point locations.
There are many online stores offering legal non-lethal self defense products. Most of these products are well capable of offering you the kind of protection you need depending on you individual needs and abilities.
