Well “Stun Master” has done it again. The new 2.7 million volt Multi-Function rechargeable mini stun gun is the latest addition to the Stun Master family and is more than just a stun gun. This highly advanced self defense weapon features not only an amazing 2.7 million volts of stopping power (which is sure to not only discourage any would be attacker, but leave the dazed and confused on the ground), but also has an extremely loud personal alarm; flashing emergency lights; a very bright LED flashlight; a built in battery charger; and a wrist strap/safety disable pin. The rechargeable NI-MH (Nichol Cadmium) battery is environmentally friendly and has a very long life.
It is obvious that their was a lot of planning behind the design of this stun gun. Its compact size, just 4.75″ x 2.5″ x 1″, makes it extremely easy to conceal, fitting perfectly into small hands. The extremely bright LED flashlight will not only help you find your way through those dark and eerie places at night, but can also be used to temporarily blind your would be attacker. The personal alarm and flashing red lights will draw attention to your situation, and with 2.7 million volts, well that’s just scary power.
The rechargeable NI-MH batteries are what the automobile companies are using in the new Hybrids. These batteries have no memory which allows them to be charged at random after just a few cycles instead of having to wait until the battery is completely discharged. This means that you can keep the stun gun charged to maximum capacity without fear of shortening the life of the battery. With the battery charger built right into the unit, you never have to worry about loosing it.
The feature that I find most attractive is the wrist strap/safety disable pin. If for some reason you are overpowered and the stun gun is taken away from you, as long as the wrist strap is around your wrist the stun gun will be disabled and it cannot be used against you.
Since 1994 Stun Master has been the pioneer for high quality, non lethal self defense weapons and with the addition of the 2.7 million volt Multi-Function stun gun, they will once again take their rightful place as the leader of the industry.

Personal protection is something that is often overlooked in today’s world, but is obviously one of the most important aspects of our life. With crime rates rising, its essential to have some sort of protection in hand in case the unexpected should occur. While you probably understand the importance of personal protection, you might not know what to do. Not everyone has the time or budget to learn hand-to-hand combat and not everyone wants to or can carry a gun. This means that we need another option to stop attackers in their tracks. This is where pepper spray comes into play.
Pepper spray has been around for awhile and is still one of the top self-defense products on the market. While pepper spray is effective by itself, a new product has emerged onto the scene that takes it to the next level. The Kimber “Guardian Angel” PepperBlaster is the next wave in pepper spray. It’s not just a pepper spray, but as the name implies, a “pepper blaster”. It packs a punch with its 90 mile per hour charge of near pharmaceutical grade OC (oleoresin capsicum) pepper spray. The power is unmatched in the industry and makes it virtually impossible to avoid. If someone attacks you while a PepperBlaster is in your hand, its safe to say, their day is pretty much over. They’re not getting out of the pain and agony that is associated with this device no matter how tough they are. They’ll be rolling around on the ground with their eyes swelled shut within seconds. One blast from the PepperBlaster will cause the mucus membranes in there throat to swell, making it difficult to breath as well as immediate swelling and watering in there eyes. And if that is not enough, as soon as the fluid comes in contact with the skin it produces an unbearable burning sensation.
The power of a PepperBlaster is contributed to a revolutionary jet delivery system. When discharged the fluid travels at an amazing 90 mph making it impossable to dodge and powerful enough to travel through any wind or adverse circumstances. Sometimes, glasses or a mask of some sort can shield against traditional pepper spray dispensers. With the Kimber PepperBlaster, you’ll never have to worry about that happening. It’s powerful enough to get around these eye protections and get right where you need it to. Your attacker will not know what hit them.
The Kimber PepperBlaster comes in a compact little dispenser with a built on belt hook making it easy to carry and contains two doses of the OC spray. If you miss with the first shot, you can actually pull the trigger again for another dose. It also has a break away plastic trigger guard to prevent accidental discharge. The PepperBaster has a range of 13ft and the effects last up to 45 minutes.
Your safety is one thing that you can’t afford to gamble with. If you don’t feel comfortable walking in your neighborhood, the Kimber “Guardian Angel” PepperBlaster is something that you should take a look at. It’s smart design and powerful capabilities make it a revolution in the protection industry. Oh and by the way, here is a pretty funny story/testimonial for the Kimber PepperBlaster. Take a minute and read this it will make your day.

If you are someone who needs to deal with aggressive dogs on a regular basis, or you are concerned about dog attacks in your neighborhood, you’ll find that it is very important for you to be prepared. Take some time and really consider what your options are when it comes to protecting yourself or even protecting your children, and at the end of the day, you’ll soon see that there are definitely tools that can help you. Consider both the Super Dog Chaser ultrasonic dog repeller and Mace Muzzle as options to keeping yourself well guarded.
One of the first things that you should consider when you are looking to protect yourself from aggressive dogs is the use of an ultrasonic dog repeller. Essentially, this unit will create a frequency that is between 20,000 Hz to 25,000 Hz. This range is inaudible to humans, but can be heard by dogs or cats. This can be quite painful to them, and there is also a flashing LED light that will keep the animal confused. To use it, all you need to do is to point it at the dog in question. The sensation that is produced by the ultrasonic dog repeller is powerful enough to make the dog extremely uncomfortable.
When you want to maintain a safe distance between you and an unfriendly dog, the ultrasonic dog repeller is quite important. The combination of bright lights and painful sounds will make sure that the dog wants to come no where near you, and the LED lights, which will dull or go off if there is not enough battery power, will also work towards this effect.
On the other hand, what happens if the dog has become a lot closer than you like? This is where the use of dog repellent sprays like Mace Muzzle can be quite handy. This spray contains roughly 0.75 fluid ounces of pepper based solution, and because of this it can be quite painful, though not permanently damaging to the dog. The shape of the muzzle makes it difficult to use it on yourself.
When you are being menaced by an angry dog, you’ll find that all it takes is spraying the contents of the can into the dog’s eyes, nose and mouth. This will usually be enough to buy you the time to get away from the dog. The Mace Muzzle is released in a pyramid shaped cloud away from the nozzle to a distance of around ten feet; the closer the animal is to you, the more powerful the spray is. Do not spray into the wind and make sure that you use the bottle in an upright position.
Take some time to really consider what your options are going to be when it comes to protecting yourself from aggressive, possibly dangerous dogs. Both of the methods above are highly effective, very powerful measures and you should never use them a dog that you are friendly with. They are deterrents and if you genuinely feel as though your life or your body is in danger think about which one will serve you the best. This can make a great deal of difference when you want to protect yourself!

I seemed to have opened a can of worms with my last post concerning the use of stun gun by or on some one with a pacemaker. I stress again that the current produced by a stun gun WILL NOT be passed between to people even by contact. Here are a few more links to some studies done on the subject. I hope they are helpful.

In today’s world with unemployment at the highest points that we’ve seen in decades. Muggings, assaults, robberies in the news every day. The need to be able to defend yourself is becoming more and more a necessity. DON”T BE A VICTAM! Have the tools to give yourself an edge in any situation. The Barracuda BC-18 should be a staple in any ones self defense toolbox. Small and compact but with enough stopping power to get the job done, the Barracuda BC-18 is the premier of stun guns.
The first two stun guns in the Barracuda line, the 1 million volt BC-10 and the 1.2 million volt BC-12 were introduced to the public in November of 2007 by Bret Harders of Over The Counter Intelligence. Mr. Harders had been retailing stun guns since 1998 and had decided to enter the wholesale market after noticing a sharp decline in the quality of stun guns available on the market. The 1.8 million volt BC-18 was introduced shortly after and the success of the line speaks for itself.
Many people refuse to carry a hand gun, at all cost. However stun guns, which are most commonly referred to as less or non-lethal weapons, could be a life saving alternative. These devises work through the use of electricity to incapacitate or subdue an individual. This is achieved by the production of an electrical charge within the stun gun itself. What is produced is high-voltage, low amperage electrical charge when placed in contact with another person would produce a sensation anywhere from a mild electrical shock to temporary disability. This has been proven as an effective means to place under control a person who is considered a threat.
The body is a bio electrical piece of engineering. Bio electrical means that electric impulses generated by the brain and passing through the nervous system is the means how movement, response and thoughts are produced. The electric impulses produce the necessary biological chemicals to make muscle groups respond in a particular manner. You can liken it to your computer with you as the brain typing on the keyboard the necessary electrical impulses to generate the icons on the screen or have the computer perform its tasks. Now, by placing an external electrical current into the computer system, you will see that the original electrical impulses of computer become overloaded causing the system to short circuit and shut down. How a stun gun works is by coming into contact with a person; the nerve impulses are shorted out making it impossible for the body to decipher any electric message causing the body to short out and shut down. The shutting down process of the body is what helps in controlling the movements a person can do after being targeted.
The Barracuda BC-18 produces a whopping 1.8 million volts of current with is more that enough to disable an attacker. One should also keep in mind that the current will not passed between between you, if the assailant comes in contact with your body. Also, although there are some conflicting reports, studies have showed that because stun guns focus on the skeletal muscles they will not effect the rhythm of a pacemaker. With this being said, the Barracuda BC-18 can be used almost without reservation. Although stun guns are legal in most states, be sure to check with your local law enforcement agencies to determine the legality in your area.

In today’s world, it is an unfortunate fact, yet a true one, that we may, one day find ourselves in a situation where we may need to protect ourselves from an assailant. It is a frightening thought, yet nonetheless, one that we should be prepared for. Have you asked yourself what you would do in such a situation? Are you prepared in any way to defend yourself and/or your property from an attacker?
Over the years, there have been many non-lethal products designed to help people protect themselves. Many of these products are geared toward women, because unfortunately again, women are often the victims of an assault or attack of some kind. There have been many mace-type products and different pepper sprays on the market for some years now and like everything else, there are always improvements being made.
Now, thanks to the prestigious firearms manufacturer, Kimber of America, there has been a revolutionary change to the old-fashioned pepper spray. The Kimber “Guardian Angel” PepperBlaster is by far the most advanced non or less lethal self-defense tool available on the market today. It supersedes all conventional pepper sprays! The major benefit is that this device can be used from a much greater distance than the old-fashioned pepper sprays; and obviously when using any self-defense tool, being able to use it from a safe distance and this is key. It stops the threat of an attack with plenty of time for the victim to disarm the attacker or assailant and get away unharmed.
How does it work? The PepperBlaster has two cylinders. Each contains powerful concentrations of an extremely effective irritant called OC (oleoresin capsicum), practically pharmaceutical grade. The cylinders are set off or propelled by pyrotechnic charges, which activate the solution and drive it with a jet stream delivery system with a speed of 90 MPH. This jet delivery is strong enough to penetrate through a facemask or even wrap around glasses. There is also little chance of cross-contamination with this device because of this type of delivery system. The best part of this handy defense weapon is that it takes effect instantly lasts for up to 45 minutes. This immediately gives the victim plenty of time to stop and incapacitate the assailant in his or her tracks and make a getaway without worrying about being followed.
The PepperBlaster is quite compact. It can easily fit inside a purse or even a pocket. There is also a clip available that lets you attach it to a belt, similar to a cell phone. The unit is also ergonomically designed, fits almost any sized hand, and can readily be used by a right-handed or left-handed person.
Conventional pepper sprays may lose pressure over time; however, this is not the case with the PepperBlaster and this is a huge plus. Without a doubt, this delivery device makes all conventional pepper sprays obsolete. It is definitely the most advanced personal non-lethal self defense tool on the market today and one that ensures your safety wherever your travels may lead you.

Crime is on the rise! It has been this way over the past few years, and it continually gets worse. Now that more and more people are being laid off, it will continue to get worse. Everyone should become more aware of how important it would be to purchase a personal security alarm system.
There are other personal protection devices on the market; however, I do not think that they are as safe as having a personal security alarm. They are small enough to fit into any purse or pocket; yet they are very loud. They each have their own set of ear piercing alarm sounds. These portable personal security alarm systems will frighten away anyone that tries to violate you. If you remember the small screecher air horns at the football games, they are so loud. This is what some of these will sound like.
With other types of personal security devises, you have to be very careful, because you if you are attacked or robbed, it is very possible that you can get some of the mace or pepper spray on your own skin and in your eyes. You do not have to worry about that with your own personal security alarm.
There are eight of these personal security alarms available to you, each with its own decibel level. It only takes 25 decibels of sound to burst your eardrum, and these put out four and six times that amount. You can hear these sounds up to ¼ mile away, and even over loud noise and traffic.
Most of them are battery operated; however, there is one that works from compressed air. The great thing about these small personal security alarms is that many of them serve multiple purposes. Some can become part of your keychain, some are small flashlight alarms.
You can also purchase small personal security alarms for your home as well. They can be used on any door or window. If you travel very much you can now be protected by just putting one on the hotel door or in the window. Once the pin is pulled, the alarm will sound, alerting everyone within its range of an intruder.
These personal security alarms are great for a dark parking lot, where danger may lurk for an unsuspecting person. Dark parking lots and alleys are where many crimes take place. Now you can feel much safer and secure, with your pocket sized alarm system with you.
These personal security alarms are very inexpensive and very useful, when they are not being used for their true purpose. Everyone should own both types of these alarms and even have extras for trips, and vacations.

With literally hundreds of self defense products on the market today, most consumers are probably wondering which product has the best all around application. Without a doubt, pepper spray will have to be my weapon of choice. Keeping in mind that the purpose of any non-lethal self defense product is simply to disable your attacker long enough for you to get away, pepper spay is extremely effective. Legal in most states and commonly available in strengths of 10% (2 million SCU) or 18% (3 million SCU), pepper spray will definitely ruin your attackers day. In addition to causing extreme pain, pepper spray swells the mucous membranes in the nose and throat making it difficult to breath. Pepper spray will also cause the veins in the eyes to swell, making it almost virtually impossible to see.
Another advantage of pepper spray has over other products is the element of surprise. Pepper spray can be purchased in several different deceiving and easily concealed containers. The Pepper Shot Pepper Pager or the Mace Hot Walkers are my personal favorites. There is no bigger advantage against an attacker than the element of surprise.
The most important thing that I tell consumers to consider when choosing a defense product is the ease in which it can be accessed. No matter how effective a defense product may be, if it cannot be easily accessed in an emergency situation, it is pretty much useless. Because most of the pepper spray products can be worn or carried in plain sight without drawing attention, they have a big advantage over other products and in my opinion would have to be the most practical choice.

I attended a self defense product seminar last weekend and while TASER Internationals latest innovation in self defense, the C2 Taser, was being demonstrated, the question came up “can’t we be sued for using those?” Wow, I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Has our society made us so afraid of the legal system that it has actually given an edge to the criminal?
Has the honest, hard working, average individual become so timid that such a question would even have to be asked? Yes, we live in a society were prayer has been taken out of our schools. The ideals of honor and patriotism no longer seem to be instilled in our young, and our idea corporal punishment is a “time out” without video games, but has it really come to the point that when a situation arises where our safety is threatened, that our first reaction is to consider the legal implications before we act?
Well, let me say this. If your answer is yes than it is too late and you are already a victim. If you are going to take the time to consider anything at all, you are already a victim. When confronted with an aggressive or possibly aggressive situation that would call for the use of some sort of defense product, you have only a split second to either act or surrender yourself to your higher power and hope for the best. There is an old saying I can still here my grandfather spouting “boy, it’s better to be judged by twelve than carried by six”. You’ve got to appreciate the logic of the old timers. What argument is there fore a statement like that?
Now don’t get me wrong, I do not promote violence of any kind. I wish with all my heart that we lived in a society that when I am on the side of the road changing a flat tire and a car pulls up behind me, that I did not have to worry whether or not they were there to help me or to rob me. But that is the society we live in and like it or not we must be prepared. That is why my wife and I both carry Pepper Shot pepper spray in our self defense tool box, and my wife even added a C2 Taser just in case. I have told her time and time again, “If you are approached in a threatening manner or if your spidey sense tells you that you are in danger, Do Not Hesitate, use your tools and get away quickly!”
Then, if that individual manages to get her name and address off of the name tag displayed on her back while she is running away and knows where to have the papers served, we’ll sort that out when it happens.
The point that I am trying to make is that you cannot take the time to worry about the “what if’s”. No matter what kind of self defense product you choose to carry, whether it is a C2 Taser, pepper spray or simply a 130db personal alarm, you cannot be afraid to use it. A split second of hesitation or indecision can and most probably will determine the outcome of a situation.
