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.

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.

There are people who like pretty gifts and there are people who prefer functional ones.  And of course, there are people who might not give a functional gift much thought but would actually need one.  For the coming holidays and for other special occasions, why not give the gift of protection to someone you care about? It may not be something they’ll find very appealing at first but it will sure come in handy if they need to protect themselves. Want terrific functional holiday gift ideas?

Here are 4 self-defense products you can give:

Stun guns
A stun gun is an excellent self-defense product and a very useful holiday gift idea.  It’s handy, lightweight and easy to use.  It can be carried easily in a purse or pocket or in the case of mini stun-guns, made to look like a harmless cell phone.

Stun guns are very effective for direct contact attacks. Once it touches the body of an attacker, it sends out enough electricity to shock and temporarily incapacitate, giving the user enough opportunity to fight back, or if he so chooses, run away.

Pepper sprays
Pepper spray can be very effective in stopping or preventing an attack.  A short 3-second burst could send out enough sting to temporarily incapacitate an attacker for at least 10 seconds.  It’s easy to carry and use and is traditionally sold in small canisters.  It can also be made to look like an ordinary object such as a lipstick case.  This self-defense product is excellent as a holiday gift especially for women, teens, seniors and those with physical disabilities.

Diversion safes
Burglars are after one thing – your valuables.  These include cash, jewelry, family heirlooms and other valuables.  A very functional but out-of-the way self-defense product is the diversion safe.

It’s actually a safe that is built to look like an ordinary, everyday object.  Designs include a functioning wall clock, a book, a flower pot or even a bottle of cleanser.  Valuables can be kept safely inside to prevent any criminal from taking an interest.  If they see nothing worth stealing, they’re less likely to try to attack.

Home security system
For high-end holiday gifts, why not the latest in home security systems?  A whole system usually includes security cameras, a CCTV monitor and sensors.  Most packages come with recording devices for documentation purposes.  A home security system is the perfect holiday gift idea for newly weds, a son or daughter renting their first apartment or a couple who’s recently bought their own home.  It may be expensive but the cost is really nothing if you think about the lives it can protect and help save.

Contrary to popular belief, pepper sprays have been around for a long time. They also come in various forms and kinds, allowing an individual choose the most suitable type of self-defense weapon for his use.

There are basically three kinds of chemical compounds used for making pepper sprays.

Oleoresin Capsicum
It works more as an inflammatory agent than an irritant and your best strategy for using pepper sprays using OC compounds will be to target your attacker’s face. Capillaries in your attacker’s eyes will dilate, forcing the eyelids to close, and resulting to temporary blindness. OC also renders your attacker choking and coughing while causing affected areas to burn and sting.

Orthochlorobenzalmalonitrile (CS) and Alphachloroacotaphenone (CN)
Both these compounds, as opposed to how OC incapacitates attackers, work more as irritants. They target membrane tissues in particular and are also especially effective if you’re able to target your attacker’s eyes. Besides creating a stinging sensation on the affected area, it can also cause a person to feel disoriented and his eyes to tear profusely.

CS and CN are not, however, as instantaneously effective as OC. It will take approximately five seconds to half a minute before it comes into effect and as such, it’s important that you’re well-prepared for a counterattack from your opponent the moment you make use of your pepper spray.

Studies also show that the effects of these two compounds are somewhat lessened when used against people who are intoxicated, psychotic, on drugs, or incapable to feel pain for some reason.

Types of Forms for Pepper Sprays
Not all pepper sprays merely spray out its content. Some pepper sprays release pepper foams. The substance contains 10% pepper. When sprayed on an attacker’s face, his first instinct will be to wipe the foam away and in so doing, he will end up grounding pepper into his face and eyes, which will then create a burning sensation.

A UV marking dye is a self-defense weapon spray that is commonly used together with pepper sprays. When sprayed on an attacker, it will create a distinctive mark that will be invisible to the human eye but visible to UV tools. Such marks are highly helpful in identifying and capturing assailants.

Pepper sprays can also differ according to spray patterns, nozzle types, sizes, and concentrations. A bigger device may have greater content but it’s also more difficult to hide. Spray pattern is also important as some are effective with accurate aim while others work best in close range.
