An Effective Personal Self Defense Plan

We all know, as the unemployment rate rises, so does the crime rate. Weather you live in the city or the country crime is an unfortunate statistic. Carrying a personal self defense device is a good idea for any law abiding citizen. A self defense spray, high voltage mini stun gun or personal alarm is a great way to protect yourself and your loved ones. Deciding which one is right for you depends on your personal needs, circumstances and comfort level.

In a situation where you are able to see your attacker, such as when you are leaving work or going to your car after a day of shopping at the mall, a high voltage mini stun gun and a personal alarm with a key ring is a great combination. Before you leave the building, have your personal alarm and keys in your hand. Switch your mini stun gun to the ready or on position and either have it in your hand (best) or easily accessible. You can clip it to your purse strap or belt, or put it in an easy to reach pocket. You now have an effective personal self defense plan.

If you feel you are in danger of being attacked, activating your personal alarm or a quick burst of your mini stun gun will usually send your potential attacker running. If they are still not convinced (no one said criminals are smart) a few seconds of contact from your high voltage mini stun gun will give you more than enough time to run for safety. Once you are in a safe location, call 911 and give them the location of the incident, your current location, and if possible a good description of the attacker. And of course follow the 911 operator’s instructions and do not hang up until you are told to do so.

Remember these key points and you will have the upper hand in any situation. Try to stay calm and alert.Criminals are desperate and not thinking rationally. Remaining calm will give you control of your situation. Having an effective personal self defense plan that includes a high voltage mini stun gun and a personal alarm on your key chain could be the difference between being a victim or a survivor.
