Self-Defence

The current financial problems being faced by many people throughout the States is expected to see an increase in burglaries and muggings. A sad fact of the modern world we live in. Being prepared in the event of such an incident happening to you could mean the difference between personal harm or safety.
Just take a look at this headlines:

Inmate says he has clues about missing woman
Colorado teen went jogging, never returned
Violent attacks on Seattle gays
Mexican cartel across into United States
Cayle Anthony body found
Chandra Levy Killer founded
New leads heat up Holloway case
Haleigh Cummings still missing

Self defense tactics are continuing to increase for both men and women who wish to defend themselves and their love ones from physical attacks. For many carrying a mace or pepper spray provides them with a personal security and means of self defense. The question is: what are you going to do to protect you and your family?

Effective Self Defense 

The threat of personal attack automatically triggers hormones in the body which prepare our bodies to instinctively retaliate or flee. More commonly known as the flight or fight response which is programmed into us all. The natural body responses when faced with potential or actual threat or harm or injury sends adrenaline pumping through our bodies, the heart beats faster and for many panic sets in.

Self defense when faced with such situations is sometimes the only viable option. Stand and fight or run away? If you have the means to defend yourself then you will stand a far greater chance of providing yourself the opportunity to run and get help if you are not willing or able to fight.

Mace or pepper spray may be a good option for some. Knowing how to use one can seem pretty straightforward, however when faced with threat hands will begin to shake and become unsteady. The latest spray guns have a trigger operated LED light to help you aim more accurately on your target. Refillable or replacement cartridges are generally available separately, making this form of self defense a cost effect and effective method of keeping safe.

Stun Guns and Air Tasers 

Stun guns do exactly as they say! They stun the opposition by emitting a high-voltage, low-amperage electrical charge. offering you the chance to run for safety and raise the alarm for help.

Air tasers are also an effect way to bring a temporary halt to an actual or potential attack. Used by police in many states and recently under going extensive trials by police officers in the UK, tasers are becoming an increasingly popular method of self defense.

There are a variety of different air tasers and stun guns available. Each offering their own unique and distinct advantage. From the size and voltage out-put to their weight, there is a stun gun or air taser to suit both men and women.

Having specialised training in the use of these self defense tactics is advisable as they pack a very powerful punch in deed.

It should be noted: As with mace and pepper sprays the possession and use of both stun guns and air tasers is restricted or prohibited in some states.

Mace Spray for Self Defense 

The use of a mace spray it a good deterrent and self defense tactic used by many men and women. The use of mace to spray into the face of an attacker, which could be either human or animal, has been adopted as an proactive way to defend yourself for many years.

A great advantage to using this form of self defense is that no specialised training is necessarily required. Many human attackers will turn and run when faced by someone with a mace spray; one of the key factors when threatening to use mace is to have the courage to actually use it! Press the trigger, the vital seconds while the attackers is deterred provides the opportunity to run and summons help.

The lightweight mace sprays are ideal for carrying in handbags and pockets. Most people are advised to have mace close to hand-it is pointless groping around frantically in the bottom of a shoulder bag try to find it-attackers will not wait, they will see this as their chance to attack. Place the mace in your pocket and keep you hand firmly gripped around it ready to use in a split second.
