Self-Defense Devices in Different Forms

The popularity of surveillance cameras and home security devices proves that people are now putting more effort in making sure that their home is secure and protected from various threats. In the outside world, we are not always secure and protected, but we can at least be equipped with self-defense devices like taser guns, stun gun, and pepper sprays.

Pepper Sprays
Most people are familiar with this common form of self-defense device, which is the pepper spray. Also known as OC gas or OC spray, these are small and handy containers that have chemical compounds that irritate the eye and cause pain, tears, coughing, temporary blindness, and difficulty in breathing. A burning reaction and pain in the face, nose and throat are side effects that may last for several minutes to 4 hours.

Taser Guns
Tasers or taser guns are electrical devices that send shocks to a person, leading to momentary paralysis and brief pain.

Taser Gun For A Woman In Need

How many of you own a taser gun? Why is that many feel the need of tasers if they can simply learn the basics of martial arts such as karate or taekwondo in order to protect themselves? These innovative self-defense tools are made with greater functionality and style. They look like ordinary gadgets. But, they are actually not. A taser can be used by a woman in need. A woman is often weak. She cannot handle herself. She lacks proper self-defense moves and styles. She can be strong but she is not as strong as a man. This is why she needs the right kind of protection. If she can do it without something then a self-defense gun is needed. Look no further. Tasers are everywhere. Manufacturers try to offer them at lowest possible rates. They are not huge. They can be simply kept inside your bag every time you need to go out and be somewhere else.

A taser gun has a number of uses. But, it is always known to give that electric shock effect whenever it hits the target. 

Self-Defense: Secret Products For Female Self-Defense - The Top Three

When it comes to self-defense and self-defense products just about everybody has heard of pepper sprays and tasers which are a sophisticated form of stun gun. Pepper sprays have been commercially available since 1963 when they originally sold as animal repellents. Only in 1989 did pepper spray become officially accepted by the FBI for use by SWAT teams.

The origins of stun guns can actually be traced back to the late 1800's when an electric cattle prod was introduced after batteries were developed. So stun guns and pepper sprays have been around for a long, long time. They have both developed good track records for success. But there are other little-known secret products for female self-defense that are just as effective.

Here are three secret items for self-defense that receive very little publicity. They are effective for personal security and personal safety too.

Self Defense - Five Products For Runners, Walkers and Cyclists

Many perverts who get their kicks by attacking women think that women are particularly vulnerable when they're out exercising. Women who are walkers, runners and cyclists often go in the early morning or late evening hours after they are done with their work.

I was doing some research on another topic the other day and ran across a snippet out of a newspaper that caught my eye. It talked about some of the reasons that domestic violence is on the increase. As if women didn't have enough to worry about in protecting themselves, now there is one more factor - the economy.

To quote the article "Domestic violence shelters across the country report the economy continues to significantly affect battered women and children. According to a national study, domestic violence shelters have reported a 78 percent increase in women seeking assistance since 2008.

The report also indicates 74 percent of victims stayed with an abusive partner longer because of financial issues, and 58 percent of shelters reported that abuse is more violent than before 2008."

Most stun guns need you to start physical contact with your attacker by touching him or her with the prongs of the gun, initiating the flow of the electric currents into their body. However, there are a lot of advanced air tasers available as well.
