Here is another story about a neighborhood that is being ravaged by home invasions. Not only does it put neighbors on the edge but it gives the neighborhood a bad reputation. You can read the whole story HERE. This scene is repeated almost on a daily basis throughout the country in different cities.

There are two things that can be done to prevent home invasions. The point of entry is almost always the front door. Do not open your front door reflexively when someone knocks. Make sure you know who is there before you let anyone in. And secondly if somebody does get in that means you harm have some self defense products around the house.

I would recommend the new Wildfire Pepper Gel in a couple of locations throughout the house. Pepper gel has a better range than normal sprays and is more reliable in aim because it is thicker.

Here is a story about a man and his family who were victims of a home invasion. He got attacked by the home invaders and got hit in his forehead from a machete, of all things. You can watch the whole story HEREwith the short YouTube video.

There are two morals to the story. First, if at all possible, do not let the home invasions happen. And second if it does happen it is almost always a bad outcome from the violence involved.

The old expression “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is certainly applicable here.

The best way to prevent a home invasion in the first place is to always use your peephole in your front door. Find out who is there before you reflexively open your front door (like I do). It is a bad habit to get into. Once a home invader has an inch of a door opening he will force his way in. And trust me in 99% of the cases of a home invasion there is violence involved. You don’t want to be part of that.

If the home invaders do get in, make sure that you have some self defense products around the house in more than one location. In my opinion the best one to have around the house is Mace pepper gel. Then I would recommend having a stun gun. One of the smallest and most effective stun guns is the hot shot stun gun. That way if the bad guys do get in, at least you have a chance of defending yourself.

College women face unusually high numbers of threats in their environment. College campuses act as magnets for predators and women are the targets of those predators. That is one of the reasons why this College Woman Safety Kit was put together.

There are many manufacturers of pepper spray. Mace is probably one of the best-known but “Pepper Shot Brand” is right up there too. It has a very fine grain that is more effective than the coarser grains of other pepper sprays which is why it is more effective. It is rated at 2 million Scoville heat units (SHU) which is a common measurement of “hotness.”

Pepper sprays contain the resin of a very hot pepper and use that as the basis for the spray. A 10% solution of Oleoresin capsicum, or OC for short, is the main ingredient in most pepper sprays. It causes shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, it is a major irritant to the eyes causing tearing so badly that the eyes may actually shut. And the pain-oh yes, there’s lots of pain. A pepper spray can disable an assailant for up to 45 minutes.

Pepper sprays are very inexpensive and can disable an assailant for up to 45 minutes. The main issue with them is that most times that you would use it you are outdoors and wind can carry a spray off target. A pepper gel holds up much better and outdoor conditions.

Tasers are a form of a stun device that are nearly 100% effective. They are more expensive for sure but what is your life worth? So if you have the money, tasers are the most effective self defense item.

Personal Alarms are on average the cheapest of all self defense products. They will not disable an assailant. But if you’re in a parking lot on a dark night and in a dangerous situation a personal alarm can make a loud enough noise to scare the assailant away and or bring attention to your situation.

The growing rate of crime in various parts of the world has necessitated the design and development of self defense products that can be used in the face of danger. Though there are innumerable self defense products present in the market today, products such as pepper sprays and stun guns are the most popular. There are a number of reasons for these two products to be most preferred as compared to the rest.

The prime reason for people to opt for these products is that they are easily available. Most of the states also legally allow the use of pepper spray and stun guns because they only temporarily disable the person and do not cause any permanent damage. While the pepper spray causes irritation when it comes in contact with the mucus membrane, the stun gun passes small electrical shocks through the body of the person and momentarily throws them off guard giving the victim enough time to escape.

These self defense weapons are also easier to carry around at all times because they are small and light in weight. The cost of these weapons is also affordable by people with any budget; however, it is imperative to check the laws of your region before buying these products and using them.

The pepper spray is the most popular self defense product today not only because it is easily available, but also because it can be used easily without undergoing any specific training. There are so many varieties of pepper sprays available that it can be a time consuming task to choose the right one that suits you the best. There are various factors that you need to keep in mind to narrow down your seas and choose the right spay for your needs.

First of all, have a clear understanding of how big your want the bottle to be. Are you looking for small bottles that can fit your handbag and purse or are you looking for something bigger? Do you want them to be well disguised so you can carry them uninhibited?

The next factor is the range. It is important to buy pepper sprays that can reach over longer distances so you don’t need to get close to the attacker or intruder in order to use it. Also, find out the number of shots provided by the spray. Opt for sprays that allow you to disarm more than one assailant simultaneously.

Buying pepper sprays that have a cone mist nozzle as compared to the stream pattern nozzle is recommended if you are not good at aiming well.

Ensuring you stay well protected at all times is extremely important. Considering the increasing number of crimes, it is imperative to have certain self defense aids around you all the times to defend yourself against intruders and attackers. Though there are a number of self defense products available in the market today, the pepper spray is the most preferred because of its ease of use. Despite this, a lot of people who have the pepper spray hand think twice before using it because of the harm it may inflict on the other person.

If you are also skeptical about using the pepper spray assuming it may incapacitate the other person permanently, here is some good news. First of all, the pepper spray is incapable to injuring a person permanently. The effects of it are temporary, giving you just to allow you enough time to make an escape or call for help.

When you use the pepper spray, ensure you aim at the face of the attacker. The minute the contents of the spray reach the eyes or the mucous membrane in the nose, it leads to extreme irritation and discomfort. It temporarily blinds the attacker, thereby allowing you to flee.

Every home needs to have effective burglar deterrents to keep miscreants at bay and your home safe. There are various burglar deterrents available in the market that can ensure you home stays secure.

The most trusted deterrent is the presence of dogs. Burglars think twice about entering a home that is being guarded by a dog. The most ferocious the breed, safer you home is. If you don’t have a dog at home, but want to keep miscreants at bay, you can either put a sign that reads “Beware of Dog” in the backyard and over the fence or you can get one of the electronic dogs that are available in the market. The electronic dogs start barking when an intruder breaks into the home, thus alerting you and the neighbors.

If you don’t want to opt for alarm systems for the entire house, there are other options to choose from. You can go in for motion detectors or infrared devices that can easily sense movement of people or recognize the heat generated by their body. These devices use these signals to alert home owners and other people in the neighborhood. Motion detectors and infrared devices send out powerful beams of light or sound deafening burglar horns that is sure to throw the burglars off guard and alert everyone in the neighborhood.
