Here’s a story that was in USA Today recently about how domestic violence has increased nationwide because of the economy. Law enforcement officials feel that this places more stress on a relationship because of economic hardships.

A law enforcement official was quoted as saying “When stresses in the home increase because of unemployment and other hardships, domestic violence increases,” Thomson said. “We see it on the street.”

Domestic violence can happen anywhere and it doesn’t happen with just bad economic conditions. Even wealthy families have domestic violence. We call it equal opportunity devastator of lives.

In Philadelphia last week burglars broke into a home when the occupants were there, a.k.a. home invasion. When the police responded to a call regarding the matter, they found an inordinate amount of marijuana. It seems the homeowner was dealing drugs to local university students.

More often than not home invasions are much more than just bad guys breaking into a home if there’s usually some other ulterior motive involved. Like drugs.

Be that as it may, there are a few things you can do to prevent a home invasion. The first is to always use your peephole to make sure you know who is at your front door before you let them in.

If the bad guys do happen to get in, of the best things you can do to get them out (assuming they are unarmed) is to give them a shot in the face with one of the great Mace Pepper Sprays. There is a good variety of sizes and prices to choose from.

Here’s a story about a woman who was sexually assaulted at Delta College in Stockton, California recently. She was able to get away on her own but police are still looking for the assailant.

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.

Please check out all of our other Wildfire Sprays. One of them might be just right for you.

This is a sad story about how a pit bull attacked a much smaller dog killed it. Then the pit bull went after the owner of the dog and chewed on her hand for a while and looks like bit off one of her fingers.

You can read the rest of the story HERE.

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.

The Ultra Sonic Dog Chaser is one of the best defenses against dog bites and dog attacks. It sends out an ultrasonic sound that repels dogs up to 20 feet away. The sound cannot be heard by humans and won’t bother neighbors.

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?

Believe it or not,until now, Military police had no nonlethal alternative to deadly force. Now they are starting to carry pepper sprays to help them perform their duties.

It is actually not surprising that the military would choose pepper spray as their first nonlethal alternative to deadly force. It is close to 90% effective on average and is the most widely used nonlethal self defense product in the world.

We have a wide selection of Mace Pepper Sprays which are the most popular pepper sprays in the marketplace. When people say pepper spray they think Mace.

If you want a stronger concentration of oleoresin capsicum Wildfire Sprays would be your choice.

Here’s a story about two dogs that attacked four people. One of the dogs went on a biting rampage and bit two people very seriously.

You can read the rest of the story and see the pictures of one of the victims HERE. I warn you though this picture is not for the faint of heart. It is very graphic.

We sell the Dog Chaser as one of the main tools to ward off dog attacks and dog bites. I have found though that some dogs are just too absolutely vicious and won’t pay attention to the ultrasonic sound that the dog chaser makes. It is probably effective for 80% of the cases of a dog attack.

The Mace Pepper Gun was designed as a self defense tool against human attacks. Many of our customers like it as a defense against dog attacks because it shoots out a full 10% solution of oleoresin capsicum up to 25 feet away. And it has enough spray in the gun so if you miss you can shoot it again.

Right here in our own community last week a woman was walking to her car in a darkened parking lot of a shopping mall. She was approached by a man who was a stranger to her asking for directions. The hair on the back of her neck stood up. Fortunately she had some pepper spray in her purse.

Without hesitation she took it out, turned around and sprayed a warning spray over the man’s head with a command to back off. The man hesitated for a second and took off.

It is yet another example of how a self defense product can be used effectively to ward off a potential assault.

Our Wildfire Defensive Sprays come in a wide variety of sizes and disbursement methods.

Mace Triple Action Spray comes in five styles to choose from. The triple action is a dose of OC pepper spray, CN tear gas and UV marking dye.

The combination gives you triple protection. UV dye marks an assailant for possible identification later. CN tear gas causes tearing of the eyes and an intense burning sensation to the face and pepper spray causes the eyes to close with uncontrollable coughing and choking.

It is that time of year again when bears start coming out of hibernation-their coming out party. This story is about park Rangers at Yellowstone National Park who are warning visitors to be on the lookout for bears.

This is one of the times of the year when bears are extremely aggressive looking for food. You would be too if you hadn’t eaten for five months.

You can read the rest of the story HERE.

We carry two brands of bear spray. Guard Alaska Bear Spray is the most popular. It is EPA approved and has a range of 20 feet. When you go into the back country always make sure that you have bear spray with you. It is been proven to be more effective than a handgun in a bear encounter.

If you are faced with the bear encounter do not try and run away from the bear. They’re very fleet of foot despite their lumbering appearance.
