Sexual assaults on college campuses are much more common than you think. Whenever I see this I often wonder why college-age women especially, or women in general don’t carry some self defense products.

One of the best self defense products women in carry is the Wildfire Key Chain Spray that fits right on your key chain so it is handy in all cases. It has an 18% concentration of oleoresin capsicum instead of the usual 10% that most pepper sprays have so it’s almost twice as potent.

The story goes on to say how sad both owners felt that this event happened and it could’ve happened to anyone. It also mentions that dogs have a huge prey instinct and that they are liable to attack smaller animals at any time. But it doesn’t mention is that dogs can attack anyone anytime.

Here’s a story about a big 400 pound bear that had been roaming around neighborhoods for three weeks eating trash out of garbage cans. The bear was finally shot with a tranquilizer dart and removed to a safer habitat.

You can read the whole story HERE.

It is not uncommon for bears to wander down out of mountainous regions into neighborhoods looking for food, especially in spring time after they come out of hibernation or in the fall before they go into hibernation.

What would you do if you had that big bear in your backyard?

We have always recommend people carry Bear Spray when they go into the back country for hunting, camping, hiking or fishing. It just makes common sense to have that valuable self-defense product with you. But people who live in areas adjacent to mountains also know the dangers of having a bear roaming around. For that reason it makes sense to have some bear spray available just in case. On more than one occasion bears have tried to get into homes. That could actually ruin your day.

We have several Wireless Home Alarms that actually do two things. If someone does break into your house it acts as a burglar alarm scaring the burglar away. Secondly, it alerts neighbors and passersby that there’s a potential problem going on in your home. Most burglar alarms are at least 100 to 105 dB and more, which is plenty loud to alert your neighbors.

The 105 db Motion Detector Alarm is one of the most effective burglar alarms we have. It operates at 110° field of view up to 40 feet away. If motion is detected in that area the alarm goes off.

Here’s a story written by Mark Smith who takes a contrarian view of the dangers of black bears in Nevada. He makes a point that no one was fatally injured by a black bear attack in 2011 in the state of Nevada.

You can read the rest of the story HERE.

Mr. Smith is writing about the state of Nevada, which is sparsely populated to begin with so the chances of a bear encounter are minimized right off the bat. I agree with him one point-if bears are left alone they are not a danger. If there’s food or young cubs involved that’s another story.

However, we have always suggested that anybody that goes into the back country always carry some Bear Pepper Spray. You never know when you’re in the wilderness when you may encounter a black bear. Isn’t it better to be safe than sorry? Every year, hundreds and thousands of people encounter bears in the wild. Most and peacefully. Do you really want to take a chance?
