Self-Defense Is Controlling Your Personal Safety & Protection
When Seconds Count…The Police Are Only Minutes Away
When you read the daily newspaper or watch the nightly news, it seems all you hear about are personal assaults/ attacks, robberies, home burglaries and home invasion robbery crimes.
Crime is running rampant and where are the local police when you really need them?? The police certainly can’t be everywhere plus protect you and your family 24/7!! What that means is your personal security and the safety of your family is basically your responsibility. So what do you do??
Devise A Personal Safety Plan That Includes Self-Defense & Safety Awareness Training
First - have a personal safety plan that spells out what to do if you are faced with a threatening or deadly scenario and how you plan to protect yourself and your family. Have you taken a self-defense class so you know tactics, techniques, and strategies to protect and defend yourself? That is a recommended first step. Women in general need to have the basic knowledge of how to fight off an attacker if it goes that far.
A self-defense class gives lots of great information from using strong voice inflection, proper ways to carry yourself that depicts confidence, intuitional awareness, and defensive techniques and strategies to use if confronted by a potential attacker. The ultimate goal of a personal attack is to defend yourself enough to throw off an attacker and escape to safety.
Knowing self-defense tactics can give a person a sense of self-confidence and empowerment, but what if the attacker gets the upper hand? You may need a secondary level of defense to protect yourself. That may be personal protection in the form of non-lethal protection, i.e., pepper spray, mace, stun gun, etc. and for others that personal protection may be a lethal firearm weapon. Every personal attack or assault will be different but one thing is for sure - the criminal committing the crime is most likely using some kind of lethal weapon meant to hurt or kill his victim.
C2 TASER - Non-Lethal Personal Protection To Stun An Attacker Enough To Get Away To Safety
One of my favorite personal protection devices is the TASER C2. This small personal protection device can easily fit into a purse or pocket and should only be used if you are threatened by a criminal attacker. TASERs are not legal in every state so check your state’s legality before purchasing. The TASER has a pretty good record for dropping the "bad" guy quickly if attacked. Checkout this video to see the effectiveness of the C2 TASER. This may be one personal protection device that fits into your safety plan.

Add The C2 TASER Into Your Personal Safety Protection Plan
The new TASER C2 series has almost 100% effectiveness rating. It combines the injury reducing benefits of traditional stun technology with a quantum leap in stopping power via new Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology. In police studies, the new TASER C2 has a higher instant incapacitation rate than a 9mm hand gun. The TASER C2 shoots out 2 darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travels over the wires and over-rides the central nervous system providing incredible takedown power.

Personal Protection–Your Defense Against An Attacker!
Personal Protection - Tri-Pack Pepper Spray.. Protection On Your keychain..In Your Car..In Your Home!
Pepper Sprays are just one form of non-lethal personal protection that you can carry for self-defense. If you are in a high risk job where you meet with strangers, work a late night shift, are a college student, or just want to know you have a way to protect yourself if you are ever attacked, then carrying some type of protection like Pepper Spray may be a good choice.
When you read the daily newspaper or watch the nightly news, you see more and more personal and home robberies, people being attacked when walking alone - especially during the holiday season - and violent carjackings. All of these crimes are becoming more prevalent. What is a person to do to protect themselves? You cannot totally rely upon the police to be there to protect you or even rely upon other people who may be nearby. The responsibility for protecting yourself is up to YOU!
If you are going to carry some type of defense spray like the Pepper Spray or Mace Spray, you need to do a couple of things:
Believe it or not the right to protect ourselves with non-lethal protection devices is not always a RIGHT in some states, counties, or jurisdictions. You will need to check with local law enforcement officials to find out what the laws are in your area. I know it sounds crazy that a law-abiding person who wants to protect themselves with only non-lethal protection against a violent attacker who may possess a lethal weapon, but that is how the law is set up. (And you wonder who the law is designed to protect).
When you purchase your pepper spray, you will want to do a few practice drills to make sure you know how to spray the device and how NOT to accidentally spray yourself. You’ll receive information with your unit that discusses how to use the product, but it is very minor information. My recommendation would be to get a very informative 32-page booklet entitled "The Facts About Defense Sprays And How To Use Them…" This booklet will give you precise information about how to use the device and if attacked - dropping an attacker to his knees. You can get this booklet and all types of personal protection at www.thepersonalsecuritystore.com.
The Tri-Pack Pepper Spray is an excellent package because it allows you to carry one of the spray units on your keychain. As you are walking to your car with keychain in hand, you are prepared. Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. Because this is the holiday season, we have a tendency is to be preoccupied on things other than our personal safety. For example, as you are leaving the mall with a bundle of Christmas packages trying to find your car in the parking lot, take a moment to look around and make sure no one is following you or that there aren’t strangers hanging around your car. Have your pepper spray in hand along with your keys and know what to do if attacked.
The second spray unit in the package is for your car. You can leave it in the glove compartment or wherever you can easily get to it if attacked while in your car. Before you get into your car again look around to see if there are any strangers nearby and then quickly get inside and lock the doors.
If you have someone carjack your vehicle, evaluate the situation. Does he have a weapon? How has he forced his way into your vehicle - your side or the passenger side? You will need to determine the best way to escape this situation. If he carjacker is unarmed and you are going to use the pepper spray for protection, remember in close quarters when you spray the unit at his face, you may get some of the spray as well. It is a good idea to formulate and have a plan ready in your mind if this type of scenario happens. For me, I would probably take my chances with some spray in an attempt to escape; however, each one of us has to make that decision should it happen to us.
The third spray unit is for your home or wherever you want to keep it. More and more burglaries and home invasions are happening while people are home. If you open your door to a stranger - not thinking properly - and they try to force their way into your home, your only protection may be the pepper spray sitting in the basket near the door. Grab it and spray the perpetrator in the face. If you have your cell phone or portable phone with you, quickly call 911 for help. If you have an alarm system with a keypad near your door, quickly press the panic button to set off the alarm. Most alarm companies dispatch the police immediately on a panic alarm. A loud alarm going off would most likely cause the intruder to quickly leave. However, it could also enrage him so be prepared in this scenario situation as well.
Remember, carry your protection spray with you if it is legal within your city/county/state and practice using it. Having some type of personal protection device will give you a little more confidence and peace of mind that you can protect and defend yourself if attacked.
I highly recommend women take a self-defense class to become mentally and physically educated. You will learn techniques and tactics on the best ways to protect and defend yourself against criminal attacks. Check with your local law enforcement to see if they offer classes such as RAD Self-Defense training.
Review in your mind various scenarios of personal assaults or attacks so you will be prepared twill know how to automatically react should it happen to you! Most importantly - Refuse to be a victim of crime no matter where you are!!

Are High End Shopping Malls A Target Rich Environment For Perpetrators?
Are you a high end target for the criminal mall perpetrator? You might want to examine yourself and your holiday shopping habits before you hit the mall this Friday. Then watch this video to learn just what criminal predators are looking for as they prey upon unsuspecting women at high end shopping malls across America. Be sure to review the mall personal safety tips at the end - tips we already KNOW yet it never hurts to remind ourselves of how important personal safety is during the holiday season.
As the Holiday Season officially kicks off on Black Friday, November 27th, it is imperative that women especially consider their personal safety while they are at the shopping mall, as they approach their vehicle in the mall parking lot, as they drive home, and when they are at home.
We normally think of the holiday season as a time of thankfulness, joy and giving unto others. Yet, there are predators who are preying upon vulnerable, unsuspecting women who will be victims of their criminal acts. This video depicts a stark reality of what may be on the mind of a "criminal predator - perpetrator" who will have no qualms about attacking, hurting, and even viciously murdering women in order to get what he wants!
It is up to women to realize that these types of crimes are happening and to proactively protect yourself and your family wherever you are. If someone is planning to attack you in the shopping mall, don’t make it easy for him to do so. Be alert, be aware of your surroundings, have your keys ready and carry some type of Pepper Spray, Mace, Personal Alarm, TASER, or Stun Gun for personal protection. Noise is one of the biggest deterrents so if attacked make as much noise as possible! (Personal protection @ www.thepersonalsecuritystore.com).

Women At Risk - Retail Safety
Retail Associates are often young high school or college age women looking to earn extra money while they attend
school. Many retail associates who fit this category are part time workers and must work the later shifts due to school conflicts. This means leaving work alone well after dark.
The most vulnerable situation is walking out to a car alone late at night. Even when not alone, two young women may not be much of a challenge for someone who is a violent criminal looking to sexually assault women. Also, if you have noticed young women coming out of the mall - they usually have their cell phone attached to their ear talking non-stop to whomever and not paying attention to what is going on around them. Being alert and aware of your surroundings wherever you are - especially when alone - is very important. When you’re preoccupied with other things, whether it’s being on a cell phone or just not paying attention you put yourself at a greater risk of being attacked.
It’s Not Too Early To Learn…
It is never too early to teach young women about self-defense and personal safety awareness training. The prepetrator knows no age and a high school or college women tends to have fewer life experiences that involve a criminal act. Therefore, many young women think that a crime involving a violent attack or assault will never happen to her. By thinking this way women sometimes let their guard down and become an easy victim!
Mothers should encourage their daughters to take a self-defense or a personal safety awareness class to learn how to protect and themselves should they be a victim of an personal assault or attack. Today our news tells us almost daily about young women who are violently attacked, raped, and murdered. Knowing how to protect yourself is only half the battle; the other may be carrying some type of personal protection like pepper spray, mace spray, a stun gun (that looks like a cell phone), or a TASER C2. Together they can give you an added advantage that could save your life!

Tips To Avoid Becoming A Carjacking Victim - Part III
There are criminals waiting to catch people who are not paying attention — those who have let their guard down — and attack at the opportune time! Remember to stay aware, stay alert, so you stay alive!
Today, citizens have a lot to be conerned about and certainly to stay aware of -a crazy economy, job losses, home burglaries/home invasion robbery crimes that are increasing and personal attacks on the rise. Something as simple as going to the grocery store, the local Target store, or just getting out of your car in front of your apartment, you need to be more alert and aware of things that are going on around you. You never know when there could be someone waiting in the parking lot to carjack your vehicle or worse yet, abduct you!!! (Click Here - See recent article on two teens carjacked and thrown in the trunk of their vehicle).
Make your personal safety and security a habit, especially when you are away from home and by yourself. I have included a personal protection device - the 4 In 1 Emergency Tool - that you may want to keep in your car’s front seat area as well as one in the trunk of your car. The cost is small when you compare the value this tool can provide in helping you survive an emergency or even a carjacking if you are stuffed into the trunk of your vehicle.
Watch this short video and learn how to avoid being a carjacking victim. They seem so common-sense yet people who become victims of this crime don’t always follow these tips. Listen and learn!! (Video Courtesy of eHowauto).
It Can Happen Anywhere And To Anyone
• Though carjackings can occur anytime, a sizeable share appear to take place during the late night hours.
• Carjacking isn’t just a problem in large cities – it happens in suburbs, small towns, and rural areas.
• Carjackers look for opportunity. They don’t choose victims by sex, race, or age.
Areas that carjackers target are: intersections controlled by traffic lights or stops lights, parking garages, shopping malls, grocery stores, gas stations, car washes, ATM machines, residential driveways or apartment parking lots, highway exit and entry ramps.
First and foremost make sure you lock your doors as soon as you are in your car and make sure the windows are all rolled up. Don’t allow a carjacker to easily enter your car.
1. Be alert to your surroundings, even when you feel rushed. When approaching your car, have your keys in your hand, and check the back seat before you get in.
2. If someone is loitering near your unoccupied car as you approach it, keep walking until the person leaves.
3. Be wary of people asking for directions or handing out flyers. Trust your instincts – if something makes you feel uneasy, get into your car quickly, lock the doors and drive away.
4. Avoid driving alone. Have someone with you especially at night.
5. When you come to a stop, leave enough space to maneuver around other cars. In extreme situations you might even consider going through a traffic light, as long as you can do so without causing an accident.
6. Don’t stop to assist a stranger whose car has broken down. Instead, drive to the nearest phone or use your cell phone to call the police for help.
7. If you are driving home and notice someone you don’t recognize loitering, drive around the block and come back after the person has left.
8. Avoid parking near anything that limits your visibility.
Most importantly – If a carjacker threatens you with a gun or other weapon, give up your car! Don’t’ argue. Your life is worth far more than a car!
If someone takes your car, get away from the area as quickly as you can. Try to remember what the carjacker looked like and report the crime immediately to the police.
You may want to consider carrying some type of personal protection on your keychain like pepper spray or mace spray, or even a stun gun or TASER C2.
As mentioned in many of my articles, taking a self-defense or safety awareness training class can teach you what to do and how to protect and defend yourself against these types of criminal attacks. Check with your local law enforcement to see if they have self-defense training classes available.

Violent Carjacking Crime & The 4 In 1 Emergency Tool - Part I
WARNING CRIMINAL ALERT
Carjacking Robbery - Latest Violent Crime. Be Aware/Be Alert/Be Prepared!
The local South Bend Tribune newspaper had an article about two 18 and 19-year old college sophomores who were victims of a robbery and carjacking Thursday night near their apartment. They both were robbed and then stuffed into the trunk of the student’s vehicle.
The students were arriving back to their apartment about 10:40 p.m. Thursday evening. As they got out of the car they were surrounded by four young men - one of which was carrying a gun. The robbers demanded the student’s money, wallets, bank access numbers, and debit/credit cards. The students were told if they didn’t do what the carjackers wanted they were going to be shot and thrown into the river that flows through town. They were then stuffed into the trunk of the car.
The four punks then stole the vehicle with the students in the trunk. As they were driving the vehicle at about 1:30 a.m Friday, police officers noticed the car’s high-beam headlights were staying on and started following the vehicle. A chase ensued and the punks crashed the car into a fence and ran away. Police officers were not able to catch the criminals; however, the students in the trunk were safely rescued.
One of the students said, "You never think that a carjacking will happen to you. We were kind of blindsided. I don’t know how you could have prepared." Well, that’s pretty much what everyone says after they’ve become a victim of a crime. Whether it’s a personal assault, physical attack, home invasion, or home burglary - people say they never thought it would happen to them.
How you avoid a crime like this from happening to you "IS" to be PREPARED!! Be alert, be aware of your surroundings, be prepared and stay alive! Realize that violent crime is infecting every community and you need to understand that it could happen to you. Don’t get into the mindset that "it won’t happen to me!"
Here is a 4 in 1 Emergency Tool that is clearly a lifesaver and should be in everyone’s car - both in the front seat area and the trunk of your car. This may be your first step to being prepared.
Here’s how the 4 in 1 Emergency Tool functions and can provide added security for you:
.jpg)
-
It has a super bright flashlight that can be used at night in any situation. (Think of being in the trunk of your car - it would come in extra handy).
- It has a blinking emergency light that activates automatically upon removal from its base. (Again, a great tool if you are stuck in the trunk of your car).
- If you are trapped in your car or the trunk of your car, the unit acts as a hammer to break the window out for an escape or can be used to break out the tail lights. (Once again, great tool to have in the trunk).
- The 4 in 1 Emergency Tool also has a blade that can cut the seat belt in case you are trapped. This tool can also cut through the duct tape that was used to wrap your wrists with. (Don’t you think this would be a great tool to have in the trunk of your car?).
Lastly, because the 4 in1 Emergency Tool can be used as a hammer, it can also be used as a weapon to fight off a carjacker who plans to do you harm. Most carjackers, kidnappers, or those who abduct their victims by throwing them into the trunk of a vehicle and taking them to a second location usually don’t live to tell about it. Be prepared to fight back if it means saving your life!
This is a versatile tool with four great uses in your car. Because of the pricing people should have a 4 in 1 Emergency Tool in both the front seat (maybe under the seat) and in the trunk of your car.
Also you might want to consider carrying Personal Protection such as Pepper Spray, Mace, Stun Gun, TASER C2, or Personal Alarm. Check out all personal protection products at http://www.ThePersonalSecurityStore.com

Part II - Understanding The Crime Of Violent Carjackings
Self-Defense Protection - Banker Safety. Are You At Risk?
Courtesy of Personal Security Solutions, Inc. Women At Risk - Banker Safety
Banks and credit unions are made up of about 66% women employees. There are bank tellers, human
resources, upper management, and a multitude of other professional positions within banks and credit unions held by women. One of the positions within the bank that seems to be extremely vulnerable is the bank teller. With the number of bank robberies increasing, even in small towns, bank employees need to be constantly aware and on alert to anything unusual or potential dangerous mannerisms of those entering the bank and notice.
If you work in the banking industry, what type of self-defense training do you receive from your company? Sure, a bank employee does not want to pull out a TASER C2 or pepper spray while someone has a gun pointed at them. But it is equally important that employees of the bank or credit union have specific self-defense awareness training and know what to do in these situations and how to protect themselves and those around them.
Due to the nature of the premises and location of a bank or credit union, this can create an opportunity for criminals who are desperate for cash. Keep in mind when you depart from a bank or credit union, the criminal may think you are carrying cash on your person. For those desperate criminals, $20 may seem like a lot of money.
Be Aware and Be Prepared!
As you leave the bank premises, always be aware of your surroundings. Notice the people you pass and those who may be loitering in the parking lot near your car. Be prepared with your pepper spray in your hand or at least where you can get immediate access to it. Keep a personal alarm and/or pepper spray attached to your car keys. As you walk to your car carry yourself with a confident demeanor. Let those with criminal intentions know that you are not going to be a victim so they may as well look elsewhere.
As part of your personal safety plan, take a self-defense or safety awareness training. It is very important to know how to protect and defend yourself if attacked or assaulted. Self-defense training can give you the confidence and self-empowerment needed in order to fight back. (Check out Dr. Ruthless’ self-defense training for women and men @ www.dr-ruthless.com).
If all else fails, consider being prepared to respond with some type of personal protection. Remember personal protection devices like pepper spray, Mace, stun guns or TASERs are all non-lethal devices not meant to serious injure or kill a person but only to distract or throw someone off-guard enough for you to get away to safety.
You - and only you - are responsible for your life. Protect yourself and save your life!

Women At Risk - College Campus Safety
Young women are heading back to college this month and for some this will be their first time away from home. If you are one who will be going off to college soon, be vigilant about your personal safety and take some steps to ensure your safety and security while at school.
One of the things you can do is take an on-campus RAD Self-Defense Training Class. This class will provide some basic self-defense tips while teaching young women self-defense techniques and tactics to protect and defense themselves against an attacker. Check with your university/college and sign up!!
More and more we hear in the news about young women who are sexually assaulted, raped, and even murdered on or around college campuses. As we send our young adults off to college, be sure to arm them with safety knowledge and safety awareness of how to protect themselves.
There may be situations on campus where you find yourself in potentially vulnerable situations - walking to a late night class alone, jogging by yourself along deserted pathways, parking in poorly lit garages or parking lots, or just being unaware of the dangers around you.
Campus Safety for College Students and Educators:
Self-Defense Knowledge and Awareness to Staying Safe
There are ways for you to stay safe on campus. As previously mentioned, most universities and college campus’ offer self-defense classes such as RAD Self-Defense. This type of training can give you a tremendous sense of confidence and self-empowerment.
You can also use campus protection or security services; always stay with others in a group-especially late at night; stay in control when drinking and partying with others; and carry some type of self-protection device such as pepper spray or mace, a personal alarm, or a TASER C2. (These are all non-lethal protection devices). Being armed with both mental and physical awareness along with some type of personal protection device could ultimately save your life if attacked or assaulted!

Survival Facts From Dr. Ruthless - A Lady With A KickA Attitude!
Stay Aware…Stay Alert…Stay Alive - Surviving Against An Attack!
Courtesy Of Dr. Ruthless & Rabiared
When you read information about women who have made self-defense initiatives for women their life’s work, it is inspiring to realize that there are options for women to stay safe (and stay alive) when confronted by an attacker. When you know how to fight and defend yourself against a predator, you no longer have to live in fear!
Dr. Ruthless (Melissa Soat), self-defense/black belt expert, teaches self-defense and speaks to audiences of women and men about overall self-defense techniques, awareness strategies, and how learning these skills can give you a tremendous sense of empowerment and self-confidence. I have seen Dr. Ruthless’ self-defense videos and she is one "tough" fighter. If all options are exhausted and you must fight for your life - fight back with explosive power and find that "ballistic" alter ego inside that refuses to become a victim of some predator’s assault, attack, or worse..murder.
Dr. Ruthless has an awesome DVD/Video collection entitled "Fierce & Female." It’s a practical no-nonsense program for women and teens! If you are looking for self-defense training in the comfort of your home, check out this DVD collection. Being mentally prepared and having a plan of action if attacked makes you a formidable opponent instead of a victim! Remember, the element of surprise is something the attacker is not going to expect.
The following Survival Factoid is from Dr. Ruthless collection on self-defense and safety tips.
FACT: The first few seconds of an assault (or first sign of real danger) is your best time to act, to break away. The longer a person has control over you the more difficult it becomes to facilitate escape.
Reduce the element of surprise. Ditch "tunnel vision" and develop peripheral vision! Soften your gaze and use your eyes like a sweeping wide angle lens. This can help eliminate blind spots — common angles of attack.
NEVER allow a criminal to take you to another location (not even at gunpoint; not even from the street to the backside of a building). Second locations are always far more dangerous! At a second more isolated location, criminals will have far more control over you. Go ballistic but do not "go with!"
NEVER allow yourself to be tied up! As soon as you see rope, duct tape or cord coming at you, it’s time to "go off!" Learning how could save your life!
High karate kicks that are great tush tighteners are typically impractical in real world self defense. Explosive, shorter range tools of "in fighting" and dirty tactics are more effective and likely to be called into play. (See Fierce and Female Videos. )
Commitment counts! When it comes to fighting back, "will" is as important as skill! Inner focus and resolve can enable you to blast through fear or panic. Intention combined with Killer Instinct is the Mother of Technique!
Adrenaline is a wonder drug! It staves off pain and can infuse you with supernatural powers. But if not managed or utilized efficiently, it can induce terror or panic. (“See Fight Back Against Rape”)
Don’t be afraid to make a scene: Yell! Honk! Throw a rock though a window! Do everything you can to attract attention! Whatever - DO NOT GET INTO A CAR - a second location is not going to be a good thing!
Remain vigilant while driving! Never mind your bad hair. Ambushes at vehicles can be swift and vicious. If approached while in your vehicle and you cannot see an intruder’s hands, drive away!
A moving target is harder to hit! If approached by a gunman and you can escape, RUN! Distance is your best defense! When driving, try to maintain enough room between your vehicle and the one in front to make a quick getaway. In just three seconds at 20 mph a car travels 90 feet — effectively out of range of most shooters.
Say what? Mind your words, especially when dealing with potentially explosive individuals. Use empathy ("I can hear how upset you are…") and non-inflammatory language. If you bump into a wild-eyed punk say, "Oops… I’m sorry!" versus "Outta my way butt-breath!" Warning: Never stick your face where it doesn’t belong!
Tune IN as well as outward! Honoring gut feelings — often present early in a situation or relationship — has saved many women’s lives!
Survival is hard wired! As a culture, women have "learned helplessness" and can unlearn it! Being afraid does not mean being helpless!
