As a young hunter then a soldier and former Policeman I've been around weapons most all my life and to me they are just tools machines if you will, machines that have to be respected. But for my wife well. she was just plain scared to the bone of the tools of my trade. But years back hearing me talk with the guys about work and the break-ins, the home invasions and other heinous acts that happen to good people she finally asked me to recommend something she could use.
Pepper spray. This weapon flares up the mucous membranes in your nose, mouth and throat. It also causes a burning sensation in your eyes and it hurts to breathe. The effects last 20 minutes. The pepper spray canister is small and concealable and gives you up to 6 feet leverage.Tazers. They come in hand held close combat styles, as well as gun styles that shoot hooked electric charged hooks into your attacker. It will paralyze your assailant in pain but only lasts a few minutes. I would recommend the pepper spray for longer lasting effects.
Steel Batons. I suggest you have this handy weapon in your bedroom when sleeping at night, an extendable baton gives you leverage by 3 feet and is a painful impact weapon that I highly recommend.Choose self defence weapons you are comfortable with you could use in a life or death emergency.I often get asked what the best form of self defense is.Or, what is the best self defense product to carry. My answer is always the same. The best form of self defense that which you are able and willing to do. The best self defense product is the one that you are actually willing to carry and use.Because there are many women who are not able to train in physical self defense, due to time constraints or physical limitations, I prefer to focus on things that can be carried and used by anyone, regardless of age, size or strength.
The next week I took her to the range with her small new pistol grip shotgun and we learned all about the machine I told her if you hear someone breaking in the house or a stranger comes to the door call 911 first then just go back to the bedroom and grab the tool off the hooks above the sliding doors in the closet put two blank rounds in the tube and simply ask the person trying to gain access to the house; Who is It? If the reply is not what you wanted to hear simply say I have a gun and I know how to use it. If they keep trying to come in rack the shotgun CLICK-SLAM at this point be prepared to fire the weapon aim it towards the ceiling and BAM they are very loud let one go. The blanks will do some damage to the ceiling but I can always fix that.
The other day, a woman asked me about pepper sprays. She told me she wanted one, but wasn't sure which one would be best. I asked her where she intended to keep it. She told me she wanted to keep it in her car. I recommended a pepper spray that had an auto visor clip, and showed her how easy it was to use and how it would stay in place in her vehicle rather than rolling around, inaccessible in her glove box or center console. Anything used for protection that is not readily accessible is useless in case of an emergency.
Police statistics show that 90 percent or more of all all home burglaries can be prevented. Sixty percent of all home burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows. And the shocking thing about home invasions is they almost always occur through the front door. Usually what happens is that someone rings the doorbell or knocks on a door and the home invaders given an inch barge right in.The most obvious way-the best defense-to prevent a home invasion is to use your peephole and see who is at your front door before you let them in. If you don't have a peephole. Then you should get one.There are many things that homeowners can do to improve their home security that are free or at no cost that will help prevent a home invasion. Here are the top eight tips.Start or join a 'neighborhood watch' they are free and very effective.Clear potential hiding places from lower level doors and windows.Post a sign in your front yard warning of a viscous guard dog.Eliminate darkened areas around your home with motion activated spotlights.
In an economy with a nearly 20% unemployment (Even the NY Times says take the "official numbers" and double them) the fact is that the uneducated, the unfeeling, the psychopathic by nature or just the desperate turn to crime to make ends (of their crack pipe) meet and you are the most likely target. Why? Because you are in some database that says you are not legally able to buy a weapon to defend your family, your children, your property or yourself. Or you are on some social site stating clearly and calmly that no way on earth will you allow a firearm in your home.
Some police officials state that because of the poor economy, more people are turning to burglary. Burglary is a low risk high reward enterprise. But there are some things that scare burglars away. That's why security gadgets and security devices are selling more than ever before. They are a cheap way to improve home defense. Here are four security gadgets to improve your home defense.A burglar who had committed over 70 burglaries successfully recently got caught and revealed some home protection tips to homeowners to prevent burglary. One of them was that if he saw a security camera on a house-even a fake one-he would definitely stay away!
Dummy security cameras or fake security cameras are a great way to improve your home defense for very little money. They're very real looking with blinking red lights, cabling and housing for the camera. Not many people can tell the real thing from the fake.Another tip that he said made him choose another house was a house that was lit up. Great ways to do that is to use motion activated spotlights on the outside and lights that are on timers on the inside. Light-sensitive timers will turn lights off in daylight and turn them on in darkness. They are great home defense tools for homeowners who work at night, for example.
Paintballing is now a family sport with men, women and young people of all ages involved. It is played in the woods, inside buildings, in paintball parks and in urban environments and not just some silly looking make believe battleground.The Generation 6 paintball weapon is a self-contained, rapid fire single shot, 3 round burst or fully automatic, magazine fed weapon that can, in the right hands, and with a little training be a highly effective method for family, home and personal defense.In short, non-lethal does not mean painless or ineffective by any stretch of the imagination. And unlike conventional firearms anyone over the age of 18 can purchase and legally own their choice of paintball weapons. There are no government restrictions what-so-ever. This means that regardless of your past you now have a legal, very effective way to protect your children, your family, yourself and your home.
