All across the country police departments are joining the Taser revolution. Over 12,000 law enforcement agencies carry and use tasers with more starting every day. When a department makes a decision to use tasers their officers must undergo training. Part of that training is they are subjected to a shot from a taser so they can get a feel for what it’s like.

Another part of the training is learning the ‘use of force policies that include general orders that “clearly and strictly” identify how and when a Taser should be used. Officers are also being trained on the documentation they will have to fill out if they use a Taser.’

You can read the whole story HERE.

Similar trainings are usually at least partially open to the public so they can learn how effective tasers are.

The most popular civilian version of the taser is the C 2 Taser that was specifically developed for use by women. It is considerably smaller than law enforcement models but it does the same thing-shooting out two electrified darts to immobilize a target.

PRETENDER Stun Gun-CLICK for more Details

By popular request we’re going to do a couple of blog postings to bring you up-to-date on which self defense products that are our most popular.

Number three is the Pretender Stun Gun. It looks just like a camera cell phone but is a powerful 4.5 million volt stun gun. It has a built-in 12 LED flashlight and has two levels of safety built-in to prevent accidental discharge. It also has a lifetime warranty which gives you an idea of the quality of the product to begin with.

Coming in at number four is the Blowgun. This may surprise a lot of people but a blowgun is a fun way to play. I think it’s more fun than darts and more challenging.

Blowguns have been around for over 40,000 years as one of the first weapons ever used. They are crude in a way but very accurate. Each of our blowguns comes with target darts, a mouthpiece, muzzle guard, foam grip and a dart quiver. They can shoot target darts, stun darts and paintballs. The longer the blowgun the faster and further it will go. They come in sizes of 18, 24, 36, 48 and 60 inch lengths.

The next most popular item that we sell is a package of 100 target darts that goes with the blowgun. They are sharpened wire darts with a .40 caliber end.

Self defense products have gained in popularity in the last decade or so. Part of the reason is because of all the publicizing of tasers. Pepper sprays have gotten a lot of notoriety lately and still continue to be the biggest selling self defense product in the world. But for headlines, tasers win hands-down.

One of the reasons I think is because it is still a product reminiscent of the old Flash Gordon days going way, way back or more recently, Capt. Kirk with his phaser. The word taser actually is an acronym for Thomas A Swift Electronic Rifle.

There has to be a reason why over 12,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States and nine foreign countries carry tasers. It is part of their continuum of force that law enforcement officers use to gain compliance to a lawful order.

Law enforcement agency tasers are not available to civilians. But civilians can get several models of tasers. The most popular is the C-2 Taser.The C2 was designed specifically for women. It is smaller than the other tasers but does exactly the same thing-shooting out two darts, that are electrified, up to 15 feet away to disable an assailant.

Check out all of our other Taser Devices.

Over the course of years in the business I have heard several comments from people about having to apply the stun gun to an assailant-they don’t like it. And I can understand that. But when your life is on the line and an assailant has an arm around your neck and is choking you, a stun gun can be your best friend by saving your life.

Stun batons offer a great alternative.

The Mini Nightstick is a good example of powerful stun baton. It is 10 inches long and is 4,000,000 volts-more than enough to get anybody’s attention. It has a lifetime warranty and is fully rechargeable with a recharging cord that’s included.

It has two levels of safety built-in for your protection. A 3 to 5 second application of a stun gun to an assailant will put him out of action for 5 to 10 minutes allowing you time to get away and seek help.

Please look at all of our other Stun Batons. One of them may be perfect for you.

Self defense weapons available in the market today do not need any specialized training. There are some very easy to use tools that can be purchased off the shelf and used when necessary. Though there are a plethora of self defense weapons that men and women can choose from, there are a few that are highly sought after.

Tasers

Tasers are non lethal tools that are small and compact and can be carried in any handbag. This small weapon makes use of compressed nitrogen that can be used to shoot probes up to a distance of 15 feet. This device transmits electric pulses into the body of the person or animal throwing them off guard for a few minutes, thus giving you time to make your escape.

Pepper sprays

Pepper sprays are the most common and easily available in the market today. They contain an ingredient that causes irritation as soon as it comes in contact with any mucous membrane. These sprays come in a variety of shapes and sizes. There are keychain pepper sprays, lipstick pepper sprays, pen pepper sprays and many more that can be carried around easily without arousing suspicion.

Other common self defense tools that you can consider purchasing are the personal alarm system and stun guns that are also easy to use and highly portable.

Just imagine you have had a busy time shopping at the local supermarket and you come out and walk towards you car. As you are loading your purchase into the trunk of your car, you notice a person walking towards you with a crooked smile revealing his wicked intentions. As you try to make your escape, he lunges towards you!

If you have no self defense weapon with you at such a point in time, there is no telling what the result of that encounter is going to be. The world today is not as much an ideal place as we would have liked it to be. The crime rate has been trending north over the last decade and today, despite many security measures, there are people willing to risk their lives for a few moments of pleasure and insanity.

Self defense weapons have been specifically designed keeping the safety of people in mind. Most of these weapons are so well designed and camouflaged that your opponent will be thwarted before he begins to realize what hit him. Weapons like the stun gun, tasers and pepper sprays can be carried around easily in your pocket or handbag. The ease with which you can use them is another big advantage. Don’t compromise on your life and safety. Get the best self defense weapon now!

Most people believe that it needs specialized skills and tools in order to safeguard against danger. However, this is far from the truth. With a little presence of mind and on-the-spot thinking, even the most simplest of things that we use in our daily life can transform itself into a self defense weapon.

A woman’s makeup kit is never complete without the presence of a good nail filer that can be used to file nails in spare time. Did you know that this small little accessory can safeguard you in times of danger? The nail filers are sharp enough to stab the person without fatally causing harm to them. The minor stabs will cause enough discomfort to the attacker thus giving you time to escape.

A deodorant is also something that every woman has in her handbag. This can also be put to good use when in the face of danger. Bring out the deodorant or perfume and just spray at the face of the attacker, targeting the eyes. The aerosol spray is sure to cause irritation throwing the assailant off track and giving you enough time to escape from the spot.

An umbrella, computer cable, filled plastic water bottle, glass bottle and stones are other items that can be easily used as self defense weapons. When danger strikes, think on your feet and make the most of what you have in hand.

Mace batons are compact self-defense weapons that are quick and easy to use. Just make sure you’ve got your target in sight and no more than five feet away!

Although the words Mace baton calls into mind the steel batons commonly used by law enforcement officers, a Mace baton is actually much smaller than that but just as effective. It’s the perfect self-defense weapon because it’s easy to conceal, simple to use, and very, very powerful.

How to Maximize Use of Your Mace Baton
This product works just like any pepper spray can. Every squeeze releases a burst of pepper spray. Of course, if you want to disarm your offender with just one squeeze, you’ll need to do a bit more than that.

Know the limit of your pepper spray weapon
Under or overestimating the number of sprays that your weapon can discharge could be the greatest mistake you could make. It could make you overconfident or hesitate at the worst possible moment.

For this product, it’s important to remember that your self-defense weapon of choice is capable of releasing six half-second bursts and nothing more or less than that.

Know the spray pattern of your pepper spray baton
Pepper sprays are different from pepper foams and pepper gels and as such, they have an equally different effect from the other two.

Now, two types of spray patterns may be used by pepper spray cans. The Mace baton, for instance, uses a cone spray pattern. Compared to a stream spray pattern, the cone spray pattern has a shorter reach – approximately five feet. If you use your Mace baton and you’re standing more than five feet away from your offender, your attack would be rendered useless.

On the other hand, a cone spray pattern doesn’t require you to have an excellent aim. As long as you point your Mace pepper spray in the general direction of your target, that would be enough. With stream spray, you would have to take its narrow form in consideration and thus make sure that you have excellent aim.

Do not use your Mace baton without thought. Letting fear and anxiety get the better of you could make your hand unsteady and your aim more inaccurate than usual.

Avoid spraying against the wind
If possible, avoid using the Mace baton if there’s any wind at all. If the wind is traveling towards you, this could cause your pepper spray to reverse direction and hit you instead. Just to play it safe, remember to cover your eyes and face – wear sunglasses if possible – when you spray.

There really is no telling when and where crime could occur.  What we do know is that statistical data doesn’t paint a very good picture.  When circumstances aren’t that good or could potentially become worse, people cannot be blamed for wanting to protect themselves.  This is probably the main reason why self-defense products, such as the pepper spray, continue to be bestsellers.  People simply must have a means or tool to rely on in order to defend themselves, their loved ones and their property.  Today, pepper sprays remain as one of the top self-defense products in the market.  And with good reason.

Why pepper sprays work
Although formulations for pepper sprays could differ slightly depending on the manufacturer, they are all based on the substance called Oleoresin Capsicum.  This is a substance found organically in certain species of plants we generally know as peppers.

Oleoresin Capsicum or OC is a substance that is very irritating when applied to the skin of humans and most animals.  It is especially irritating when applied on the mucus membranes, which are commonly found on the eyes, mouth, nose, throat and the stomach.

As a substance, OC produces burning sensation, inflammation and general irritation on the affected area.  It can also lead to gagging, choking and coughing.  It can also cause the eyes to tear up uncontrollably.

Pepper sprays as a top self-defense weapon
A pepper spray is highly effective as self-defense weapon because of its effects.  It can cause momentary blindness, difficulty breathing and general confusion due to extreme irritation.  It is well-suited for many people including police forces and private individuals because it is non-lethal.

Pepper sprays are also considered as a top self-defense weapon because they do not lead to permanent physiological damage.  The effect is only temporary, although it could last for at least 5 minutes and up to about 15, depending on the physical makeup of the attacker, his emotional state and also the dosage sprayed upon him.  For people needing a self-defense tool, that 5- or 15-minute gap wherein the attacker is disabled is usually sufficient enough to fight back, run away from the scene or call for help.

Another reason why pepper sprays are top self-defense weapons is that they are convenient, lightweight and easy to conceal and carry.  Most canisters fit in the palm of the hand and may be kept in the purse or pocket.  Pepper spray containers are also frequently sold disguised as ordinary objects, such as a pen, lipstick, mobile phone, pager or even a pendant.  Users have easy access to the gadget and can readily use them should the situation call for it.

A pepper spray also does not need specialized training to use.  It’s a pretty straightforward and simple device that most people can turn to as a reliable self-defense weapon.  Furthermore, it’s generally legal to own and use and is quite affordable.
