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.”

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.

You can read the whole story HERE.

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.

Finally, finally someone is doing this. The state of Delaware is in the process of creating a separate category for the crime of home invasion. Now if we can just get the rest of the country to do it we’d be in business. Up until now the crime of home invasion has been categorized as a home burglary for both reporting purposes and for penalty purposes.

The penalties under this bill will be much more severe. Thank goodness. Finally!

Of course best thing is to prevent a home invader from getting in the first place. That’s where the Door Stop Alarm can be a huge help.

But for crying out loud folks if you have a peephole in your front door always use it. See who is there before you open the door. If you don’t have a peephole it is worth it to get one because trust me, you do not want to be the victim of a home invasion.

It’s a bad guys to get in make sure you have some self defense products scattered around the house to help defend yourself. One of the best is Mace Pepper Gel it can disable an assailant in a heartbeat.

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?

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.

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.

Private citizens have often claimed that police use brutality against them. Those charges are usually baseless but frequently end up in a “he said she said” situation, which is difficult to prove. These glasses will record 4 to 6 hours of video in an attempt to document police activity and defend them and possible lawsuits.

You can check out all of our Taser Devices to see if one of them won’t help you. We don’t have police model tasers but the C-2 taser is a popular civilian model that does the same thing without all the bells and whistles.

Everything from assaults on city streets to home invasions to domestic violence women are the targets in the vast majority of cases.
