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.
Report on Kimber Life Act Guardian Angel PepperBlaster

Do you have a teen driver in your family and want to know exactly where they have been? Do you have an employee in a company vehicle that you want to keep tabs on but do not want to try to squeeze another monthly bill into your already overstretched budget. Today, there is an excellent device that can deliver on all these duties. It is the H5100 Passive GPS Vehicle Tracking Device and it is, without a doubt, one of the very best GPS devices on the market.

What makes this GPS tracker such an excellent product? There are many reasons and they are all well worth exploring. First of all with a passive GPS Tracker, there are no monthly monitoring fees. All data is stored on the device and then simply downloaded to your computer. The software that is provided includes animated, digital street maps where the user may review all or portions of a trip. The path is clearly identified and color-coded to isolate various speeds. The path traveled and the stops can also be displayed on the popular Google Earth program. This is also a very thorough device. It keeps track of the positioning of a vehicle every second of the day. There are no blackout spots where the vehicle will be undetectable. That means you can reliably track the vehicles path every stage of a trip. This is probably the best attribute of this particular device.

Another huge positive to the H5100 GPS Vehicle Tracking Device is the fact that it can be easily placed either inside or outside the vehicle. The unit is water resistant and features a built on, extremely powerful magnet that will allow it to be attatched to any part of the metal frame without fear of it being dislodged with a bump or jolt. The H5100 GPS Vehicle Tracking Device is battery powered by two AA batteries that can yield up to 80 hours of power. When the car is not in use, the device will go into a sleep mode that will conserve power. This, in turn, makes the device quite cost efficient. 100 hours of recorded data can be saved before the log has to be downloaded and actually, it could even be used as a means of justifying expense deductions. This is yet another great benefit to a truly excellent electronic device.

When it comes to your personal safety, sometimes the most basic tool can be invaluable. First, it is important that you understand that you are the one in control of your personal protection. Yes, there is always the police, but more times than not they are not around when you need them. This is why it is up to you to make sure that you are carrying some type of personal security alarm.

Personal Security Alarms are an effective yet inexpensive personal safety tool. When activated there 120db or more alarm will alert everyone in the area. This alone is generally enough to defer an attacker, the last thing they want is attention. Then, once you are to a safe location, you can call the police to file the report. Hopefully they will be able to catch the attacker but at least you are safe and sound. Now that you can see the importance of having a personal alarm, you will need to look into the various kinds that are out there so that you can find the one that is perfect for you and your needs.

One of my favorite personal security alarms is the Keychain Alarm w/Light. This handy little 130db alarm is goes right on your keychain and has abuilt in LED light that will help you find those evasive keyholes on a dark night.

Another really popular personal security alarm is the Electronic Whistle. The wonderful thing about this whistle is that you do not even have to blow it. It is electronic and it can be carried in your pocket or used as a key chain. The Electronic Whistle is four inches long and emits a 120-db whistle for however long you hold the button in for. This whistle is not only great for avoiding personal attacks but for use as a locator in emergencies such as earthquakes.

The Door Stop Alarm is another favorite of many people. Simply place it in front of your door and the Door Stop Alarm will prevent the door from being opened while setting off a 120-db alarm. The alarm will automatically shut off when the pressure from the door is removed. It can also works as a nice door jam. Place one on the floor for your bedroom door or your front door and you will finally be able and ready to sleep soundly at night.

The Screecher Aerosol Alarm sounds off an ear piercing sound that can be heard up to ¼ mile away. This is a small enough size that it can easily be placed into a purse or kept in a pocket. To activate the alarm you simply have to push down on the top. Each alarm will contain about thirty short alarm blasts.

When it comes to personal safety you just can never be too safe. This is way there are so many products out there for you to pick from. Grab one or grab several different kinds of personal alarms and you will know that you will be able to sound an alarm for help if you are ever in danger of being attacked or from being lost. And if you feel you need a little added protection, pepper spray is always a good choice.

We all know that crime is bad. In fact it has gotten worse lately. As the economy falters more and more people have turned towards a life of crime to help make ends meet. Jobs are lost and bills still have to be paid, so ordinary people have been pushed into doing unusual and extraordinary things. Some of which include burglary.

There are many companies out there that offer various types of equipment geared towards home security. The Mace Wireless Home Security System is an all in one security package That means that you can customize it to your home, mounting the base or window/door sensor where you need them to go without the need to drill; and run wires. You can simply put them up and be protected in no time. No service calls, no installer visits to schedule and not need for strangers inside your home.

Every thing that you need to do the job is packaged inside. You can install the window/door sensor anywhere within 250 feet of the keypad and there is even a remote control unit to allow you to arm and disarm the system without being at the keypad, which is very nice. For those of you that might be technically challenged, it comes with a DVD that will guide you through the whole process.

So how is this system going to help you should someone actually break a window or door or gain unwanted access to your home? Once the alarm unit is activated, the base unit will sound an alarm and it will dial up to five telephone numbers that you have programmed into it automatically and it will give the person answering a pre-recorded alert message. At that point that person can either listen to the room to hear what is going on, talk to whoever is in the room via the base unit or disarm the unit and reset it.

The motion detectors will sense any movement as well and should the intruder manage to bypass the entry alarm, the motion detector will set off the alarm. If no one answers the unit will dial the next number on the list. The only caveat here is that you need a landline telephone with touch-tone dialing for the unit to make the pre defined phone calls.

The system is totally wireless and once you purchase it, it is yours and should you move somewhere else you can take the unit with you and use it in your new locations since it is completely portable.

Now everyone these days needs to be aware of the state of the world and know that in desperate time people do desperate things and even if you live in a quite neighborhood that has not had a crime, the possibility is there and isn’t it just better to be safe than sorry, especially when it costs so little to do and it is so easy to install it? The piece of mind is invaluable, and you might even save some money off your insurance to boot.

Crime is just a fact of life. Even with all the precautions we have taken there is the chance you will fall victim to a crime. According to FBI crime statistics more than 6 million break-ins occur in residential areas every year. This breaks down to one every ten seconds.

All across the country, no matter what area you live in there are home break-ins that can mean not only loss of property but can result in the loss of your life. Peace of mind may not have a price tag but it is surely one of the things we strive for the most when it comes to the safety of our homes. The HomeSafe Auto Dialler can provide the peace of mind you need.

This is a system with motion detectors which keep a constant watch on the area in which it is installed. The alarm sound the minute someone crosses the area. This sets off an alarm with 105 decibels and triggers up to five phone numbers to be dialed. The system also has a built-in memory that will keep the data you have programmed into it in the event of a power outage. The system comes complete with the outdoor siren, telephone line, an AC adapter and an adjustable head.

If you are worrying about the set-up of the Auto Dialer, it is not a difficult process. It can be mounted in the most convenient spot for you to access. The 9 volt battery is installed, the telephone line is connected and the AC adapter is plugged in and you are left with adjusting the area which it will be watching.

This area includes 110 degrees to the right and left and 6 to 8 meters out from the Auto Dialer. A motion sensor will detect any motion in the area and automatically cause the Auto Dialer to react and dial the numbers you have programmed into the system. There is a large number display and it also contains the time and date.

The unit contains a program key, a pause key and a panic key. There is also an indicator which will let you know when the battery is low. The alarm as well as a chime switch that will allow you know when someone comes in the door makes this system quite versatile. This feature is very handy for using in your own business so that you will know when you have a prospective customer. The HomeSafe Auto Dialler is much more compact than the older wired systems that are sometimes difficult to program.

The statistics are staggering with the number of homes that are projected to be burglarized in the U.S. is one in every ten and that is only for this year. The scary part is you do not know when it will occur. You may be sleeping, you may be away from home or you may come face to fact with the intruder.

It is absolutely a necessity to have a security system that will allow you to protect the most valuable asset you have – your family and your home. With the HomeSafe Auto Dialler you will have the peace of mind that your home cannot be broken into without setting off an alarm. With the battery back-up you are assured the system will still work in the event your power does not. This is one of the best for a home protection system if you are looking for a comprehensive system that is affordable as well.

In today’s society the need for personal security products is becoming more and more relevant. Of all of the choices of non-lethal self defense weapons, Barracuda Stun Guns stand alone for price, dependability, and customer service. There are currently three models offered by Barracuda, the 1,000,000 volt BC-10; the 1.2 million volt BC-12; and the 1.8 million volt BC-18. But before we get into that, let me give you a little history.

Barracuda is the trade mark registered by Bret Harders, founder of Over The Counter Intelligence Incorporated located in Sparks, Nevada. I contacted Brett and asked him to send me some information on the company and his response impressed me so much that rather than pick out the high points, I thought I would just include it in this article.

QUICK HISTORY OF OVER THE COUNTER INTELLIGENCE, INC AND BARRACUDA STUN GUNS

The business model for Over The Counter Intelligence, INC began in 1990 when I went into a “spy store” in midtown Manhattan. The store itself had this air of secrecy. It was fairly dark with blue neon lighting display cases with all sorts of products that looked as if they were taken right out of a James Bond Movie. Adding to this feeling was the lone salesman/owner who had a refined English accent and wore a pinstripe suit. Something inside me just clicked and I thought that if I every owned a store, it would be just like this. The name Over The Counter Intelligence was the first thing that came to me when I began creating this store in my mind. The seed that had been planted slowly grew until 1998 when it became a full time hobby for me. With the help of the Internet, I would research and sample the different types of “spy” products that were on the market at that time. For whatever reason, I just naturally gravitated to the self defense items over everything else. In 2003, the hobby turned into a part-time business. As sales people, we sell what we like and what I really came to like were stun guns. I felt that they were, and still are, the best form of non-lethal self defense. In 2005, my part time business became my full time business both online and off line. I would go to gun shows, swap meets; anywhere I could get these products in front of people. By this time, I was mainly concentrating on the self defense items and really pushing stun guns. What amazed me most was my customers lack of knowledge of stun guns in general. But once I was able to educate them and show them how they worked, the sale was easy. During all this time, I saw how stun guns were evolving, as all technology does as the demand for them increases. I saw them go from low voltage bulky devices to smaller, more compact units with increased voltage. By early 2006, stun guns had become the only item that I wanted to sell and at the same time, I was noticing that the overall quality of stun guns was deteriorating with a lot of generic low end, poor quality stun guns being introduced into the market. Putting the majority of my retail business on hold, I began what turned out to be a year long process to start Barracuda brand stun guns. Had I known how much work was involved in it, I would have thought twice. Coming from a retailer’s perspective, I based my wholesale business model on what I had always expected from a wholesaler: Quality, affordability and dependable customer service. In November of 2007, the first shipment of BC-12s, our first unit, arrived from China. From the success of the BC-12, we introduced the BC-18, a stronger version of the BC-12 and the BC-10, which was brought in due to the request of many of my retailers. The plans for Barracuda stun gun’s immediate future is to continue to add new models as well as our own design that we are currently working on.

PERSONAL BELIEFS/PHILOSOPHY ON STUN GUNS AND THE SELF DEFENSE INDUSTRY

As I mentioned above, quality, affordability and customer service is the corner stone on which I operate. Quality is number one. Without a quality product, no one will want it. If a product is not affordable, no one will buy it. And if your customer service is bad, no one will want to do business with you. Coming from the retail end and being knowledgeable about the consumer and market in general, has always played an important role in each decision we make.

When it comes to you, the retailer, there are two big obstacles to overcome when it comes to selling stun guns and self defense items in general. The first is that we are a reactionary society. We normally don’t prepare for the worst until it is too late. It is natural to not want to think of all the bad things that can happen so it is ultimately it is the retailer’s job to remind them that they do need to be prepared. The hardest part about selling stun guns is that the public is largely uneducated when it comes to them. Most people don’t know the difference between a stun gun and a TASER. It has been mine and other retailer’s experience that once the consumer gets a stun gun in their hands and is properly explained on how to use it, they buy them. As a wholesaler, I do feel that part of my job is to educate my retailers on Barracuda stun guns and stun guns in general and I am always happy to answer any questions they might have. The bottom line is that if you are not knowledgeable about any product, you probably won’t sell as many as the person who is. But beyond being knowledgeable about a product, I believe that you must be passionate and truly believe in it. Customers can tell if a salesperson is passionate about what they are selling and they can also tell if you are not. I believe that the stun gun and self defense industry in general is a growth industry with no bubble to burst. Only when there is no need for defending one’s self will our products no longer be of value.

Now For A Little Product Review:

Barracuda BC-10: This model is perfect for those who prefer the old style stun gun. The BC-10 combines old style appearance with new style technology for an amazing 1,000,000 Volts/1,000 kV of stopping power. This model is operated by two 9volt batteries. It contains an 80db alarm that works independently from the toggle trigger. It has a two position safety switch. Both the stun gun and alarm can be used separately or together. It has a safety/disable pin with a wrist loop. It has a belt clip that is attached to the gun and also comes with a nylon weave holster. The unit measures 6″x 2.5″x 1.25″, and comes with a full 5 year warranty. I have found these units priced anywhere from $39.95 to $65.00.

Barracuda BC-12: The BC-12 is Barracudas first model and set the standard for what you have come to expect in a stun gun. They haven’t changed a thing because it hasn’t needed changing. This compact, rechargeable stun gun packs a whopping 1,200,000 Volts/1,200 kV and will definitely ruin your attackers’ day. This model features a long life NI-MH rechargeable battery with a built in wall charger. It has a safety switch with one touch operation and a red LED light that shows when the unit is powered up. This unit also comes with the safety/disable pin and a nylon weave holster. Its compact size, 3.75″x 2.25″x 1″ makes it easy to carry and conceal. It also comes with a full five year warranty. I have found the BC-12 priced anywhere from $49.95 to $90.00

Barracuda BC-18: It is identical to the BC-12 but with a lot more power. Delivering an unbelievable 1,800,000 Volts/1,800 kV, it is the premier of stun guns. Just the sound of it will give any attacker second thoughts. This unit can be found priced anywhere from $59.95 to as much as $120.00 depending on where you look.

I think what has impressed me most about the Barracuda Stun Guns is the wrist loop safety/disable pin that if used properly will keep the stun gun from being turned back on the user in the event that it is taken away by an attacker. Another thing is that Mr. Harders is still very active with his company. If you have any problems or questions and you call, he is the one that you deal with. One should also remember that the purpose of any non-lethal self defense weapon is simply to disable an attacker long enough for you to get away.

Have you ever felt unsafe when commuting late nights or felt that a stalker was close to you? Do you feel the need to have a self-defense tool that can help you overpower your assaulter if a situation arose?

A mini stun gun is the answer to your safety. These are a small and compact instrument that will fit into the palm of your hand and is known to paralyze the assailant and drop him to the ground instantaneously.

The first stun gun, taser design, developed in 1952 was proposed for commando operations. By the early 60s, the U.S Government commissions included electric stun batons in the riot control. By the 1970’s the technology became an important part of aircraft safety in the wake of terrorist attacks and hijacks. Later in the year, these were marketed to the public as defense weapons against muggers.

Earlier models of the stun guns were huge; the higher the voltage of the stun gun, the larger the model used to be. This was because a minimum of three to four batteries were required to power the stun gun.

Stun guns today are designed for low amperage and high voltage, to temporarily disable an assailant. The new line of mini stun guns is compact and easier to handle in comparison to the older ones.

Let’s look at some of the products in the market today:
