The Self Defense Products World

The self defense products world is quite vast. There are many different types of products to choose from such as; TASERS, MACE Products, Pepper Sprays, Stun Guns, Animal Repellents, Safety Lights, Knives, Metal Detectors, Diversion Safes, Child Safety Products, Personal Alarms, Instructional Fighting DVD’s and much more. You can either buy these as separate items or in pre-packaged kits.

I am asked all the time if I should take my pepper spray or stun gun everywhere I go.  While you will not need them everywhere that you go, you can’t predict when or where something bad is going to happen. In this hectic and crazy world that we live in right now, you need to be prepared to protect yourself, your family, or your belongings at all times. This advice is especially true if you are a young woman, an elderly person, or a child. There are child kidnappings, rapes and assaults on women of every age, and there are people just waiting to take advantage of you. 

Here are some statistics.

In 2009, 20 million crimes were committed in the United States; of these, 4.3 million were violent crimes and 15.6 million were property crimes. There is crime everywhere in this country of ours, big cities, small towns, even rural communities. Meth labs have become a real problem and are hidden in rolling hills of small town areas. Meth addicts are responsible of a good percentage of the crimes committed. They break into homes, hijack cars, and rob people to buy more drugs. A lot of these crimes happen in communities where violent crimes were unheard of only a few years ago.

CHILD KIDNAPPINGS… 69,000 Children are abducted each year. Family members account for the majority of these reported cases (82 percent). Non-family abductions account for 12,000 of these reported cases (18 percent), of non-family abductions, (37 percent) are by a stranger.

RAPES...There were 89,000 reported rapes in 2009. The highest percentage of rape is in the Northeast. July is when the greatest number of rapes occur.

ROBBERIES...There were 401,326 robberies in 2009. The Highest percentage of these (38%) was in the South. 42% of the robberies occurred on the streets, 14% occurred in homes.

ASSAULT...There were 854,911 incidents of aggravated assault in 2009. Firearms were used for 19.3% of the assaults, knives or cutting instruments 18.6%, other weapons (clubs, blunt objects, etc.) 35.6% and personal weapons (hands, fists, feet, etc.) accounted for 26.6% of the assaults.

CAR JACKINGS...There are around 38,000 car jackings each year. 74% of the victims faced a weapon. About 63% of carjacking incidents occurred within 5 miles of the victim's home, including 17% that occurred at or near the home...sometimes in their own driveway. Only 4% occurred more than 50 miles from the victim's home.

Think about a Hurricane, an earthquake, tsunami, volcano, etc. God forbid you'd be caught in something like that, but we all know these natural disasters will happen at some point. If you are ever thrown out into the streets to fend for yourself and protect your family, your business, you'd be a lot better off with some sort of protection such as a taser, stun gun or at least pepper spray in your pocket!
