You need a stun gun to protect you when you have to walk or travel alone. The 4 in 1 stun gun will give you a zapper, flashlight, emergency lights, and alarm in one.

Are you constantly walking home late at night and going off alone? Are you sometimes getting the strange feeling that you are being stalked and watched? You can protect yourself by having your own cellular phone, but what if you get to a place that has no phone signal? You can also protect yourself with a pocket knife, but how far can one knife go when you are panicking? You might hurt yourself and cause even more damage.
To protect yourself, you will need a stronger tool. This is where the 4 in 1 stun gun comes in. The 4 in 1 stun gun has four major sub-tools: the stun gun itself, which delivers millions of volts in electric shock; a strong light emitting diode (LED) flashlight; emergency lights that will flash red even in the deep darkness; and a loud alarm. Many of today’s models of 4 in 1 stun guns will have rechargeable batteries, making them easy to charge and carry after. They will also have a disable pin wrist strap, which allows you to disable the mechanism if your attacker or assailant gets hold of the weapon. This way, you cannot be hurt. Another feature of today’s models has its own holster, so that you can easily locate and carry the stun gun.
Why do you need such a powerful tool? For one, you need a lot of volts to zap someone, and the stun gun can disable your attacker and give you a chance to run. This can be valuable if you walk through areas that are not heavily populated, since you may not have a place to run to immediately if you are being chased. You also need the bright LED flashlight, since this will help you to see in dark areas, such as parking lots, heavily wooded or grassy areas, or buildings that have lost power.
The warning lights and alarm will serve to call attention to you. The gun will have flashing warning lights which you can use to attract attention, especially if you are in a dark place and are looking for law enforcement officers. The siren and alarm are your emergency call, and you can draw more attention to yourself, especially at night, when people might not be awake to see the lights, but can be awakened by sound.
These are only a few uses of the 4 in 1 stun gun. For more information, talk to a security retailer.

The Double Trouble Stun Gun provides twice the power of a stun gun. Make sure, however, you understand how it works!
Everyone knows that a stun gun, when used effectively, can immediately disarm and even immobilize your attacker. But if you think that doesn’t offer you enough protection, how about having a self-defense weapon that’s akin to using two stun guns at the same time? Sounds wonderful? That’s exactly what you’ll get from the Double Trouble Stun Gun.
What to Get from the Double Trouble Stun Gun
To have a better idea of how this product can ensure your safety and help you fight off your attacker, you’ll need to understand how its essential features works.
Two Zaps at the Same Time
This product has two discharge points, situated at each end of its U-shaped structure. These dual discharge points allow you to release a dual slap at a single instance. Think of it as a combo punch that can knock your attacker out in half a second, given the perfect aim.
Rubber Coated Housing
This self defense product is designed to stay in your hand as long as necessary. Other self-defense weapons prove to be ineffective because they keep slipping past your hold. That, however, won’t happen with your Double Trouble Stun Gun thanks to its rubber-coated housing. Rubber, as we all know, provides us with a slip-proof texture for a tight, reliable grip.
Hand Straps
For better security, hand straps are also included with the Double Trouble Stun Gun. Make sure you use them, of course!
Battery-Powered
This product uses a pair of lithium batteries, which means you can enjoy longer life than what you would normally get from nickel metal hydride batteries. This would save you both time and money as it requires fewer replacements.
Safety Features
Stun guns are powerful, especially if they come with a 1.2 million voltage power like the Double Trouble Stun Gun, but also potentially dangerous to the user. Safety features are, therefore, quite necessary.
A carrying case to minimize the effects of accidental discharges and prevent accidental contact with discharge points is just the start. Safety switches and indicator lights must also be incorporated with its design. This device would not be activated unless the LED lights and safety switch are both on.
Understanding the Effects of Stun Guns
Using this product for half a second can cause slight pain and will definitely startle your attacker. Make it last a second or two more and that would cause mental confusion and muscle spasm. If it lasts three to five seconds, that would lead to mental disorientation and confusion. Now, with the Double Trouble Stun Gun, imagine having the effect doubled!

A multi function stun gun has high voltage but low ampere. This give you the means of delivering a powerful, immobilizing attack without causing serious harm.
Why settle for a basic stun gun when you don’t have to? When your life is in danger, you usually have a single chance alone to save yourself. Make the most out of that chance by protecting yourself with a multi function stun gun.
How Does the Multi Function Stun Gun Work?
There are two essential characteristics that make diversified function stun guns the most powerful but also the least lethal self-defense weapon you can use.
Firstly, it comes with high voltage power: a multi function gun releases 2.7 million volts per discharge. Just imagine what kind of jolt that could give to your assailant.
Secondly, a multi function stun gun also uses low ampere, which means there’d be no permanent or serious damage resulting from the release of electricity.
The Nature of Attack
The nervous system of your assailant is the primary target of the multi function stun gun. The release of electricity is backed by a high pulse frequency and causes an enormous amount of energy to hit the muscles of your ass
Once used, an enormous amount of energy blasts the muscles of your assailant. This causes the muscles to make fast, jerky, but uncontrolled and inefficient movements. All these movements cause the blood sugar in his body to fall alarmingly low because it’s being converted into lactic acid. Naturally, loss of blood sugar is equivalent to energy loss, and this causes your assailant to make slower and less coordinated attacks if he still chooses to pursue you.
That, however, is just one of the effects of the multi function stun gun. While all that is happening, neurological impulses that are responsible for directing muscle movement are also being attacked. Since no direction is forthcoming, your assailant will gradually lose his balance and become mentally confused and even passive.
The severity of the effect of using your multi function stun gun will depend on how long the prongs of the gun remain in contact with your assailant. A half-second contact only causes a twinge of pain.
One to two seconds’ contact will have your assailant confused and suffer uncontrollable muscle spasms. If that doesn’t seem enough, you can lengthen the duration of the contact to three to five seconds. With that kind of attack, your assailant will curl up in the ground, completely immobilized.
More Features from the Stun Multi Function Gun
This advanced stun gun also comes with a LED flashlight to help you better ward off an attack. There is also a pin wrist strap to provide you a more secure grip.

Would be criminals might want to think twice about trying to resist arrest in Lancaster. Armed with one of the newest law enforcement tool, police are able to subdue suspects with out the use of baton, guns, or the tricky pepper spray. They now carry a stun gun called the Taser.
As 31 year old Daniel Wood recently found out, however, they don’t always work as advertised when certain guidelines are ignored. When police interrupted him inhaling an aerosol, Wood made a run for it. After darting though traffic he was caught and as the officers tried to subdue him he began to resist arrest. That is when another officer Tasered him, causing a small fire to ignite on his chest. The fire was quickly patted out and the suspect was treated and released.
This unfortunate injury should not have happened. The Tasers had just recently been issued, meaning all of the officers had just been trained in its use and on the polices regarding appropriate situations for its use. One of the Lancaster’s polices forbid the use of the Taser when flammable substances, in this case the aerosol, might be involved. The department has launched an investigation into the matter but it would be a good guess that the Lancaster police have a new found respect for the policies having seen what can happen when they are not followed.
Lancaster police Chief Dave Bailey is still a propionate of the Taser, quick to point out that incidents like this are uncommon. He also points out that most injuries. Both to police and suspects occur at the time of arrest. The Taser, when used properly, is a lot safer to the suspect that being subdued by a baton and he would most certainly rather be shot with a Taser, however unpleasant, to being shot with a gun. And for the officers it is even safer than Mace. A strong gust of wind can blow it right back into the officer’s face.
The internal investigation will shed some light on just what happened. Did the officer just decide to ignore the policy because he did not think it was dangerous to do so, or did he just get caught up in the moment and it slip his mind? It would be a good guess that other officers have learned from this so it seems unlikely to happen again.
When the smoke has cleared around this incident, however, the public will look back over the track record for the Taser and see that it can be used as a safe and efficient law enforcement tool.

Mini stun guns used to be limited to low voltage power because their compact size only allow the use of a single battery. Thankfully, the emergence of lithium batteries today allows mini stun guns to have twice as much voltage power than before with the same, if not longer, battery power.
What to Look for in a Mini Stun Gun
Because mini stun guns are your weapon for self-defense, do not let price be a determining factor for you. Instead, look for a mini stun gun that you know will be able to effectively protect you in any circumstance.
Voltage Power
Generally speaking, more batteries mean more voltage power and, of course, longer life. But as mentioned earlier on, the use of lithium batteries has allowed mini stun guns to retain their size while increasing both their voltage and battery power.
Now, mini stun guns can release up to 1,000,000 volts in a single blast. Batteries may also be rechargeable and capable of blasting your attacker approximately one hundred times before running out of power.
Safety Button
Never buy any kind of stun gun without a safety button. This will prevent accidental activation and unintentionally injuring yourself or someone else, which is considered criminal by law. If you don’t want to risk being sued for negligence, buy stun guns with safety buttons.
Warranty
Lifetime warranty is best, but at the very least, look for a mini stun gun with a 1-year warranty.
Self-Defense Tips for Stun Gun Use
Stun guns may be powerful, but they won’t be able to protect you if you don’t know how to use them effectively.
Practice
Unlike pepper sprays, you don’t need to practice your aim because stun guns require physical contact with your attacker to work. What you do need to practice, however, is taking your stun gun out as quickly as possible and having the presence of mind to switch the safety button on before putting it to use. In most cases, you’ll have only one chance to hurt your attacker; make the most out of it!
Easy Access, Hidden Location
Place them inside your pockets at all times. They have to be somewhere you can easily and quickly reach for at times of need. Concealing them, however, is also ideal because it gives you the advantage of taking your attacker by surprise.
Nevertheless, if you already feel uneasy, listen to your guts and take your mini stun gun out. It’s better to be safe than sorry, as they say.
Know What to Target
Finally, know what you can and can’t target. The best points of contact are a person’s torso, particularly the upper shoulders, below the rib cage, and the upper hip. All these can effectively immobilize your attacker. Also, remember that while stun guns can work on clothing, it won’t be much of an attack if used on rubber clothing, which is not conducive to electricity.

The 2009 movie The Hangover is a familiar misanthropy of stock characters just like the movies Wedding Crashers, Anchorman and Dodgeball. The funny story all started with four friends: Doug (Justin Bartha), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and Phil (Bradley Cooper). The four take a drive to Las Vegas in a red Mercedes Benz to celebrate Doug’s upcoming marriage. The bachelor party goes very, very wrong when Doug suddenly disappears when the three guys wake up in Vegas with the groom missing. They were so drunk the night before that they couldn’t recall a single thing about what happened. The story revolves around how they tried to recall the events of the night before in an attempt to find the groom in time for the wedding.

In the movie, each of the four main characters has their own stories. Phil was a perfect jerk like what Bradley Cooper is known for. Stu was the type of boyfriend who gets beaten up by his girlfriend while Alan was an idiot anyone would love. Doug, on the other hand, was the very responsible, soon-to-be-wed boyfriend.Just like other male-centered movies, Doug is the type that everyone would like to have as a friend. Phil is a school teacher whose regular thing is to steal from his students’ field trip fund. Meanwhile, Stu doesn’t have the guts to stand up to his girlfriend as she beats him up. This led to him being panicky all the time. Alan, is weirdly not allowed within 200 feet of any school.
Overall, the movie is really funny. There are just some scenes that are somewhat unacceptable to some audiences. For one, there is one scene where the main characters are nailed with tasers as some cops and school children just and watch and laugh at them. Even the kids used the cops’ tasers on the three funny heroes. It appeared funny to some but to some, it made them queasy because of the taking in of torture in the taser scene.
You won’t believe how the movie can get the viewer confused. So many crude moments that you can’t forgive yet it also has a lot of softhearted moments that makes your forget the crude moments. The confusion and the speed of events were really hilarious. The only flaw that critics have found is the tasteless taser scene. This has led them to name the movie as the “Self-defense movie of the year.” Tasers are supposed to be a defense of victims against attackers. Using tasers on the characters in the movie wasn’t exactly funny to all viewers.
The manner of how the story was told was one of the movie’s strengths. The watcher is kept in suspense the whole time until it gets to the climax. The cast really rolled comedy-style. The punchlines were gratifying for the male watchers as given by its R rating. The actors played their parts nicely while their interaction with each other showed very well in the movie.

Two robberies took place in Alexandria and Arlington, Virginia, respectively and almost simultaneously. One of them, however, caused bewilderment. It was an unusual robbery to say the very least as a masked bank robber came and went quickly after robbing the customers and not the bank itself.
The second robbery incident that took place was nothing out of the ordinary, although this does not make the crime less harrowing in any way for the victims. Suntrust Bank, located at North Glebe Road in Arlington, was targeted by robbers. Everyone, however, came out unscathed although investigators still hadn’t revealed the extent, if any, of the loss resulting from the robbery.
The first robbery, on the other hand, and which only took place minutes earlier, continued to puzzle authorities. At approximately 10:45 in the morning, a masked man entered the Suntrust Bank along Kenmore Avenue.
The man carried a shotgun with him and ordered everyone to the ground. He took five purses from bank customers before leaving on foot. The bank hadn’t lost even a single penny in the incident.
The crime did not fail in arousing the people’s anger. One bank customer, Marcia Fox, said, “I know we’re having tough times, but that doesn’t excuse going and robbing people.”
Evidence obtained for the investigation was limited, with customers submitting to fingerprint analyses and surveillance photos taken within the area. The Alexandria Police also used their canine unit in hopes of quickly establishing leads for the case.
Know Who You’re Up Against with Video Surveillance
As proven earlier, having video surveillance equipment installed in your home or office is simply not enough to properly identify a would-be assailant or thief. Here are a number of tips to help you enjoy maximum protection from video surveillance.
Look for an ideal location
The best angle will give you a bird’s eye view of what’s happening in a given area. Video surveillance cameras are best mounted on the wall or ceiling, preferably in a corner.
Use an infrared-capable video surveillance camera
It will allow you to capture sharp and accurate video footage and photos even at night.
Don’t rely on video surveillance alone
While it may serve to deter and help capturing criminals, they are not capable of preventing a crime from taking place. For that, you’ll need extra safety precautions, like an automated alarm system. You may also install sensors to detect and hinder any unnecessary movement.

In Penhold, Alberta, parents of a sixteen year old girl were extremely relieved to have their daughter back after several days of harrowing anxiety since they reported their daughter missing. Accounts from the victim as well as information obtained from the investigation led to the successful arrest of the girl’s abductor.
According to the victim’s father, the girl had been abducted at from the back of their home, about 135 kilometers north of Calgary at approximately nine-thirty in the evening last Thursday. Their daughter had left to drive to a nearby store at the gas station to purchase treats.
Later on, the father found his daughter’s truck twenty minutes later, parked behind their home, the headlights still on, and with keys on the passenger seat. Items purchased from the said store as well as her purse was also found in the truck, but her mobile phone and wallet were missing. This prompted the family to report the girl missing.
Using the last signal picked up from the girl’s mobile phone the night before, search and rescue crews together with the RCMP mounted a massive search in a wooded area in Red Deer while volunteers numbering in the hundreds handed out flyers containing the girl’s picture door-to-door in the city.
Finally, almost two days after the girl had been reported missing, the family received a call at approximately 8:30 in the evening. The victim had managed to escape from her abductors and used a pay phone in a mall to contact her father for help. According to the dad, the girl had sounded “very, very scared” and that “she had to beg for her life”.
The victim was taken to the hospital following an interview with the Red Deer RCMP. Video surveillance from the gas station contributed considerable help to the investigation, leading to the arrest of a hereto unnamed suspect.
Stay Recorded, Stay Protected: Safety Tips with the Help of Video Surveillance
If you are travelling alone, it’s best to frequent establishments that you are aware of being equipped with video surveillance equipment. Do your best to stay within its focus. If anything were to happen to you, authorities could use resulting footage in identifying and capturing your assailant.
Not all video surveillance equipment, however, are installed for the public to see. Some operate covertly so you’ll have to know where and how to look for them. On the other hand, some stores simply use dummy video cameras to deter wrongdoers for causing mischief.
