subject: Self Defense Products For Assaults On Women [print this page] Why is so much attention paid to women when it comes to assaults? Why is it do you suppose that so many self defense product manufacturers like Taser, Stun Master, Mace and others develop and design products specifically for women? Could it be because women are targets of violent assaults by a nine to one margin? Maybe.
Think about all the women you know in your life and think about those stats. About right? Scary isn't it. With so many women at risk at some point in their life it is a question of when not if. I know from personal experience in my life that stat is just about right.
Everyone should know that self defense products offer a non lethal alternative for self defense and as such are meant to allow you time to get away and seek help nothing more.
Here are some of the best products for self defense against assaults on women.
1.Stun guns, as an example, will temporarily disable an attacker by overloading the muscles depleting them of blood sugar making the assailant powerless to do anything. The stun gun needs to be applied to the assailant. No long term damage is done. He will be out of commission for 3-10 minutes losing his balance unable to hurt you. For gosh sake don't stand around, get out of there.
2.Pepper Sprays on the other hand shoot out streams of OC spray up to 18 feet. That spray will cause the eyes to close by swelling eye veins, mucous membranes will swell, breathing becomes difficult and inflicts great pain for up to 45 minutes.
3.Tasers use EMD ( electro muscular disruption) technology to incapacitate an attacker-nearly 100% worth. They have been tested to have more stopping power than a 9 mm hand gun. They shoot out two electrified darts up to 15 feet. Tasers are used by over 11,000 police agencies in the U.S. and at least 7 foreign countries.
4.Personal Alarms are really nothing more than very loud noise makers. They can be heard up to one quarter of a mile away and are very effective.
Get some self defense products to protect your loved ones and you from assaults.
If you feel threatened by an assailant point a charging stun gun at him and hold it up for the bad guys to see the flying current and hear the sounds. From a distance the crackling noise alone and blue sparks that stun guns give off when activated may be enough to keep attackers at bay.
If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Some states have restrictions on pepper sprays. Check with your local police department first before you get one.
