Car Safety

February 4th, 2012

If you ever get thrown into a trunk of a car,
kick out the tail light and stick your arm out.
The thug will not see your arm and the person behind you or passing you will see your arm and possibly save your life!

Stun Guns

January 10th, 2012

I thought this was an interesting take on Stun Guns.
When you watch movies you can encounter the use of stun guns, especially in a scene where the protagonist is in danger or in comedy wherein a taser is used to jokingly stun a counter- part. But really, using a stun gun is somewhat important and goes beyond its theatrical portrayal. A stun gun is defined as an electroshock weapon, which can incapacitate a person or an attacker by sending electrical impulses throughout the body thus paralyzing the functions of the superficial muscles. A stun gun or a taser is used for one purpose alone, which is to protect someone from an impending danger. Now, why do you love a good ol’ stun gun? This article aims to impart information why a stun gun is helpful in your safety and security.Backed up by Science. Tasers are products of science’s ingenuity because of its advanced technological development. Its correct and precise electrical conduction causes a temporary disruption of the normal functioning of the superficial muscles. As you may know in Physics 101, electricity can kill if too much voltage is in contact with the body, although there is a safe margin where in electricity can be beneficial to the body, such as those used in medical interventions. In an electroshock weapon, the amount of electricity is just enough to subdue someone for a few minutes or seconds and eventually normal function will return. User friendly. A stun gun is a user friendly device because it is crafted to fit anywhere like your purse or a pockets. Some of them are formed similar to those of daily objects like pens, brushes, even a cell phone. Stun guns or tasers are also easy to use: just press the handy button and zap your attacker away. Legally accepted. Many questions arise as to the status of the legality in using a taser. In most states and cities, it is allowed legally to carry a taser or a stun gun anywhere as long as it serves its sole purpose, which is for self- defense. Yes, only for self- defense and not to harm other people. These weapons should not be used in torturing a person or to inflict too much towards another individual. Personal and Business Security Measures. These weapons are used both in a business establishment and for personal security use. In a business establishment, stun guns are usually carried by the security personnel to ensure the safety and welfare of the staff and clients. As for personal use, it can be carried around inside the purse as a precautionary measure especially if you are heading home alone during the wee hours of the night. It also protects your family, especially if there are certain individuals who want to take advantage of your home. Love it, Hate it. Although, the positivity of using a stun gun can quite overwhelm its negative effects – it is important that the person in possession of such devices must know the purpose in carrying one. Personal security is a constitutional right since everyone has the capability to defend his or her self in the midst of danger.
The one thing I do disagree is the volts do not kill it is the amerage that kills. This is why the volts are high and amperages low.

Ladies Watch Your Purse

January 9th, 2012

I have a woman tell me she pulled up to the gas pump leaving her purse in the front seat. While she was pumping gas a coup;e of kids walked by, not thinking anything she keeps pumping gas.Then out of nowhere these kids come back break the passenger window grab her purse and they were gone. Ladies if you do not have to DO NOT carry a purse. There are small credit card money holder that will fit in your pocket. I cannot believe how many ladies still leave their purse in the front of the grocery cart wide open! Really! Be Safe!

Multi Function Security Door Brace Did It’s Job

January 6th, 2012

I just received a call from a customer that had purchased the Muti Function Security Door Brace, they live in an apartment complex that is normally quiet. One night while they were watching TV they heard a huge bang on their door that brought them both to their feet. Seconds later they heard another loud bang. Turns out the neighbor that lived next door had a home invasion where these thugs burst through the front door threatened them at gun point took money, jewelry and a laptop but they lived to talk about it. Had this couple not put the Multi Function Security Door Brace against their door that is of made of 20 guage steel they would have been the victims! The Multi Function Security Door Brace did it’ job!
Be safe, do not think it can not happen to you!!

Full Sail Students Robbed

Eleven Full Sail students robbed

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. (WOFL FOX 35) – Walking to class today students at  Full Sail University  are on edge. “Its really scary,” said Caitlyn Wilding, a freshman and the school.

Even in broad day light along busy University Boulevard Wilding and her friend Kaylie Schneider had their pepper spray in hand cocked and ready to go. “I always have my pepper spray,” said Schneider.

Since December 1, investigators say 11 of their Full Sail classmates have been robbed off campus. Just three days ago, Full Sail students were held up in three separate robberies in apartment complexes near campus.

In two of the incidents, the robbers used guns. In the third, a young woman was punched in the face. Each time the bad guy was after the same thing. The student’s 15 inch Macbook Pro laptops.

“They all know we have this laptop, same laptop that we paid good money for,” said Wilding.

Students pay $2,800 for them, but they’re worth even more. Caitlyn Wilding says in their apartment complex parking lots its easy for thieves to figure out who goes to Full Sail.

“It doesn’t help that all our cars have the stickers, so its in the works that we get tags instead of stickers so we can take them down when we’re not at school,” said Wilding.

Full Sail has not returned our phone calls. Students tell FOX 35 the university is well aware of this problem. “I know it happens a lot because they told us during orientation.,” said Wilding.

The  University of Central Florida  is four miles away, but they too are aware of this problem. UCF’s campus police emailed out a warning letter, alerting their students of what’s going on in the area. They’re also advising students to not carry too much in their bags, because that could slow down their reaction if someone comes after them.

Two students were robbed at gunpoint this afternoon on the campus of Rollins College, Winter Park police said.
The students were sitting in their vehicle near Holt Hall, a dormitory, about 2:20 p.m. when a red Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon pulled up and an armed man got out, Rollins posted on its website.
The robber demanded the students’ wallets and hit one of them in the mouth with the handle of the gun, causing minor injuries, police said.
He got back in the sport utility vehicle, where the driver was waiting, and left campus on Ollie Way. The SUV turned east on Fairbanks Avenue, authorities said.
The man with the gun was described as black, in his 20s, 5-foot-9-inches to 5-foot-10-inches tall, 155 to 170 pounds, with shoulder-length dreadlocks. He was wearing a T-shirt and baggy pants.

The second suspect was described only as a man in his 20s. The students didn’t get a good look because he waited in the car, college officials said.

Anyone with information about the suspected robbers can call police at 407-644-1313 or the campus security department at 407-646-2999.

College Campus Safety

October 8th, 2011

Over the past month there has been a disturbing number of college students getting assaulted and robbed, two students were held up at gun point in broad daylight! I live near a college town and often drive by on the way to grocery store. The one thing I did notice were all the students on their phone! They have a false sense of security thinking their phone is going to help them in an emergency. The one thing they do not think of is even if they are talking to someone in order to get them help, they have to hang up, call 911 or school securtiy then tell them what you need and where you are by the time this is done it could very well be to late. Also when you are on the phone you are not paying attention to what is going on around them.
Your Extreme College Survival Kit will help arm them against personal attacks. The Lipstick Pepper Spray looks like a common piece of makeup or cologne but inside is powerful OC pepper spray w/ UV dye that will not come off for 7-10 days! 1/2 oz Pepper Spray with car visor clip. Nap Alarm that when placed behind the ear and your head bobs the loud alarm goes off keeping you from dozing off when driving or studying! Keychain Pepper Spray will always be with your student they all have keys, so when keys are carried there is always a Pepper Spray attached!2oz Pepper Spray with wall mount. Attach to wall close to front door so it can be accessed easily when someone comes knocking and your not expecting anyone. The Diversion Book Safe looks like a regular book yet when opened there is a secret compartment inside. The door stop alarm will fit under any door, not only will it prevent the door from opening a very loud alarm will go off. The electronic whistle requires only a touch of a button to set off the ear piercing alarm. Along with all these the batteries are included along with directions and a safety manual included. We armed out daughter with this when she went off to college and she does find this Extreme College Survival Kit very handy!

Beware Of Parking Lots

September 16th, 2011

A co-worker pulled into a parking space next to a white van in a busy ER Hospital parking lot. When she got out of her car turned to shut the door a man appeared out of nowhere demanded her keys and purse, this thug grabbed and ran. She was shaken up but ok. The nightmare of cancelling credit cards, changing the locks on her house because her address was on her driver license. Not to mention her car in which this thug still has the keys.
Watch where you park. If you do not feel comfortable where you have parked MOVE! She now has a pepper spray. I am in no way saying to fight back, Prevention is the key to keep this from happening to YOU. I tell anyone that carries a Pepper Spray have it ready when you walk anywhere. By doing this you put yourself on alert as to what is going on around you. The same for when you are getting out of your vehicle, have your Pepper Spray in hand and ready, this way you are not distracted. Safety and Prevention is the key to not becoming a statistic!
One more thing if you are ever shoved into a trunk of a car, kick out the taillights and wave your arm out the hole, the driver will not see this and it just might save your life!
Be Safe! Be Kind!

Does Pepper Spray Really Work? Hell Yes!

August 31st, 2011

Have you ever wondered if Pepper Spray really works. Well let

me tell you a little story about 6 little Senior Citizens. They were

all interested in buying Pepper Spray, so one lady did. I always make sure

they know how to use it, so after demonstrating how take the

safety off and have it ready. Well this little lady took the safety

off and sprayed ME in the face. OMG the burning was unlike

anything I have ever experienced!  I could not breath, I could

not see, the more I rubbed my eyes the more they burnt, I am

coughing, I went to bathroom and washed my eyes out with

soap!! Could it hurt worse? Yesssssss it is still burning!

I wanted take my eyeballs out and put them in ice! I recovered

enough to go back to where these ladies were standing with

these horrified looks on their faces, I assured them I was OK,

even though my nose and throat were still on fire! Still coughing,

my eyes still tearing uncontrollably. After their apologies,they

all bought 2, not sure of  their reasons, whether they felt sorry

for me, for me or because it really did work.! I now use

pressurized water for my demonstrations. So Does Pepper

Spray Work? Hell Yes!!!

demonstrations! That was the day I learned the hard way, Yes

Yes, Yes Pepper Spray Really Does Work!
