Non-lethal Self Defense

Picture this...A guy sitting in his car, just after dusk, waiting for a pretty girl that he is attracted to, in the parking lot of a gym. Any minute now, he knows she'll be exiting, as he has admired her from a distance before. They don't know each other, although he sure thinks he wants her, and she hasn't ever even noticed him. He has never been in trouble before but he is not the most mentally stable individual. All of a sudden, she leaves the front door of the building, by herself, and is walking towards her car. He glances around and sees that there is nobody else around, so he jumps out of his car and runs towards her shouting, "Hey beautiful, sexy lady, I want you, Baby!" meanwhile she is ready with her hand in her pocket holding a stun gun. He has a crazed look on his face, and she knows this can't be good. Some people have a misconception about the word stun gun. It really isn't even a gun at all. It looks more like a pager, beeper, or cell phone, and has two prongs, is battery operated, and when the button is pushed or switch is flipped, it will crackle and output anywhere from 100,000 to 1,000,000 volts, depending on the model and price. Stun guns do not cause permanent damage, but when a victim touches it to the torso of an attacker, and flips the switch, the few seconds of voltage will render the attacker dizzy, sluggish, confused, and unable to speak or stand. He or she will drop to the ground, and be unable to do anything for twenty or thirty minutes. Stun devices are legal in all but a few states, but are not usually sold at every corner store. Back to the story...So as parking lot "stalker boy" gets closer to the girl from the gym, she pulls out her RUNT 950 tm which is a compact 950,000 volt stun gun, and touches it to his stomach and switches it on, before he ever knew what hit him. The five second blast, made him pee his pants, lose his balance, fall to the ground, and lay there slobbering and in a confused state. She could have jumped in her car and fled home, however, she decided that it was better to run back into the gym. She called several of the fellow patrons to her aid, while one of them phoned the police. The guy had his gym membership cancelled and when the police arrived, he was arrested. The girl went home, safe and sound, thanking her lucky stars for the purchase of the stun device. It had cost her only a day's pay, and it was a small price to pay, for safety and security!

GOOD SAFETY HABITS FOR 2009

You may have seen the following before but it's worth seeing again. We need to remind ourselves of ways to be safe or we get distracted by life and leave ourselves vulnerable to criminals. The following is a good reminder and I suggest you forward it on to your loved ones and friends and make a copy for your kids to see. When under stress, often our mind freezes up. These reminders, if read more than once, will imprint on your brain and hopefully help you create some

GOOD SAFETY HABITS FOR 2009

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, use it!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans: If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you.... chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON’T DO THIS! This is the perfect opportunity for a predator to get in on the passenger side. As soon as you get into your car, lock the doors and leave. A.) If someone is in your car with a gun DO NOT DRIVE OFF. Instead, gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot, or parking garage: A.) Be aware: look around you. Look in your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. B.) If you are parked next to a large van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most attackers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the victim tries to get into their car. C.) Look at the car parked on the driver’s side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If a predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, Preferably in a zigzag pattern.

8. Women often times try to be sympathetic. Don’t. It may put you in harm’s way. Ted Bundy was a good-looking, well-educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane or a limp, and often asked “for help” into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when his victims were abducted.

9. If you are home alone at night and hear strange noises, do not answer/open the door. Instead, call the police and Wait for them to arrive. There have been recent reports of women hearing a baby’s cry outside when they are home alone at night, which is suspected to be linked to recent serial killings. One more reminder: we are all 100% responsible to our well being and safety.

MAKE SMART THINKING CHOICES.
Be Safe!

Things have become more difficult in this day and age

Well, things have become more difficult in this day and age, between the sorry economy and people being more and more stressed by life, bills, problems, etc. There are more scams, identity thefts, stolen wallets and purses, shoplifting incidents, and the list goes on and on. The sad thing is, that although crime doesn't pay, some normally nice people get feeling like they have no other choice, and they attempt something that is criminal in nature. For this reason, many folks are beginning to carry stun guns, pepper sprays, personal alarms, whistles, and things of that nature. For example, a couple of young men, may feel that they need to get some money, for whatever reason, and they decide to wait and lurk around in the outskirts of a big parking lot of a department store. After the sun goes down, they want to find a younger lady, leaving the store by herself, then catch her off guard, and steal her purse. They don't want to hurt her, mind you, they just want to grab her money and take off. After all, they have never done anything like this before, but things are so tough, with the bad economy and all, they feel like they have no other choice. They are not even carrying any type of weapon. Then here comes Beth, a twenty-two year old college girl, who just left the store with 20 packs of Chinese noodle soup (you know the one) that she bought with her only $3.00 and although the guys hiding behind the trees don't know it, she has no other money. They think that she might, because although she is a struggling college student who works only part time at a restaurant on weekends, she is driving a nice car that her daddy bought her when she graduated high school with outstanding grades. Nevertheless, the guys think she may be an easy mark for them, to knock her down and take her purse and then flee the scene. Little do they know that she is carrying a pepper spray in her pocket, and up until now, she has never had to use it! So, as she approaches her car, near the edge of the lot, the two boys begin walking briskly towards her. She sees them coming her way, senses that something is going on, reaches into her pocket and grabs the pepper spray key chain that her dad bought her before she left for school, and turns the safety catch so that it is now in the position to be shot at someone. When the boys get closer, they call out "hey girl" and she shouts "please get away from me!" but they keep walking towards her. Now she doesn't know that they only want her purse, and she is feeling overwhelmed with the fight or flight feeling of fear that people get when they know something is going on. She pulls out the little trusted friend in her pocket, points it at the closer of the two boys, and presses the trigger, much like that on a can of bug spray. A powerful stream shoots eight feet and right into the face of the first boy, who immediately starts screaming, as he grabs his face with his hands. He has trouble breathing, his eyes are now shut tightly, he is coughing and choking, and it stopped him in his tracks! The second boy is stunned by the observance of this and is just standing there shocked. She then points it at him, and he shouts "no" as she pushes down once again, and deploys a stream of the powerful pepper spray into his face. His actions imitate the first boy. His hands on his face, trying to rub his eyes, which only makes it worse, rubbing the solution into his eyes even more. They both drop to their knees, coughing and even crying, with troubled breathing. Luckily Beth is able to get in her car, start the motor, and get the heck out of there! As she drives away quickly she thinks about how nice it was of her dad to get her that little key chain pepper spray! She wondered how much it cost. $20? $30? Whatever it was, it was money well spent, because it may have saved her life. She had no idea what those two boys had in mind, and she wasn't going to find out. She could have phoned the police, and a special marking dye was all over the faces of the attackers, but she was just happy to get away safely, and went back to her dorm and told her fellow students the story. The two boys only suffered for 30 or 40 minutes, as the pepper spray doesn't cause any long term effects or harm. They sure did learn a lesson though, and might never try something like that again. Thank goodness that things worked out, at least for Beth.

For Your Security and Safety

The world around us

The world is changing around us, more quickly than we can believe. From global problems, to national economy troubles, to local aches and pains, we are all learning to deal with life and the new problems that have arisen. It is sad, but because of the very poor economy, crime has been rising. More purse and wallet snatchings because of some people becoming desperate for cash is a nuisance, but it is a reality. Now, more than ever before, people need to take steps to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their possessions. Although many Americans may not want to carry a handgun for protection, they do want and need something for a feeling of "peace of mind." There are various great alternatives for self-defense and personal protection, such as pepper sprays. These are small canisters, with a high powered spray of a solution that consists of red pepper, amongst other ingredients. When someone is approached by a would be attacker, they simply spray the product into the face of the assailant, for a few seconds, and the person will suddenly have their eyes slam shut, they will have an intense burning sensation, trouble breathing, and it will bring them to their knees, as they rub their face and deal with the enormous discomfort. The victim can then get away and get to safety, and fortunately the attacker will only suffer the effects for 30 to 45 minutes. Pepper sprays do not cause any long term problems. These inexpensive, yet effective products can be purchased by folks 18 and older, at a variety of stores and websites across America. They can be the size of a can of an energy drink or even small and on a key chain. There are even many that look exactly like a lipstick that women can comfortably carry in their pocketbook or purse. Peace of mind is the most important thing, and hopefully many people will never have to use a pepper spray, but it's better to have one and not need it than to need one and not have it! Safety is something that most people don't think about, but in this day and age, we all need to be more mindful about it. It is just a matter of taking precautions when doing certain things, for example, when leaving a grocery store or shopping mall, particularly at night, it is a good idea to walk quickly, while being observant to the surroundings. Don't be distracted by a cell phone conversation about nothing in particular, although it can't hurt to have a friend or loved one on the line, for security, as you glance all around, keeping an eye out for potential trouble. Have your keys ready, get into the car, and get out of there as promptly as you can. Learn a phrase in a foreign language (not English or Spanish) and when someone tries to ask you a question in a parking lot, you can blurt out the phrase in a fairly loud voice. They will think you don't speak their language, and you suddenly are not a prospect for them, as they needed to ask you what time it is, before they can get a few steps closer and try to snatch your wallet or purse. Another great idea is to carry a whistle or other device that will make a loud sound, so if anyone attempts to disrupt your plans, you can blow the whistle or flip the switch on a very loud, electronic whistle or personal alarm. This loud noise will scare them away and attract attention from others in the parking lot thus ensuring your safety. We all have to remember that things have changed, and life is a little more dangerous in these troubled times, but life is still good! Keep happy, keep smiling, and keep yourselves safe...
