I just read an article from THE TENNESSEAN about a man targeting young children in Spring Hill.  You can read the full article here: http://www.tennessean.com/article/20100308/WILLIAMSON01/3080304/Man-s-alleged-ploy-to-lure-kids-in-Spring-Hill-stirs-fears

According to Harriet Vaughan, from THE TENNESSEAN, parents and police are on guard after reports of a man trying to lure children into his van in Spring Hill.

Spring Hill police say that a man in a van has approached two kids with different ploys to try to get them into his vehicle.

The first reported incident was at Longview Recreation Center on Feb. 13, according to Lt. Jason Fogle. That's when the driver of a white van reportedly approached a 13-year-old girl after her tennis lessons. The girl said the man invited her to sit in his van until her parents came to get her. The girl refused, Fogle said.

The second incident reportedly happened two weeks later in the Auto Zone parking lot, behind the Tanyard Springs subdivision, where a group of young boys were playing. A 10-year-old boy said a man driving a van offered him candy to come to the van.

Anyone who has any information, should call the police at 931-486-2252.

With all of the snow we have gotten on the East Coast this winter, everyone is geared up to get back outside.  I would guess that a few of us (me included) have put on a few pounds because of being couped up inside.  I know that I have been a slacker this winter with my exercise regime.  I can't wait to get back outside in the fresh air.

I have already started seeing an increase in the amount of people going to parks jogging or walking their dogs.  I would like to remind everyone to stay vigilent when it comes to safety.  Don't forget to stay alert and be smart when going through your daily routine.  Don't forget to grab your pepper spray or stun gun before heading out to the park.  Check each of these items to make sure they are still working properly.  Maybe you have had the pepper spray for a while and it has expired or the batteries in your stun gun have gone dead.

Make it a daily habit of carrying your self defense products with you every day.  The bad guys prey on the unsuspecting.  They know what they want to do - you don't.  Always stay alert and trust your instincts.  If something doesn't feel right - trust this feeling.  Look around.  If you see someone walking towards you and you feel uncomfortable, cross the street if possible.  Make eye contact to let that person know you see them.  Walk briskly, but with confidence and if you have your self defense product on you, have your hand on it and be willing to use it if necessary.

Enjoy the outdoors and getting back to your normal routine.  Just do it safely!

Self Defense Pepper Spray For Women

What in the world is our society thinking?  People – WAKE UP!

I am totally in awe at the thought processes of some of you.  You are more worried about what might be happening to an assailant, who wants to assault you, rape you or even kill you, than focusing on what I believe may be the most important issue here - Self Preservation. 

Stay Safe – Your Safety Is Priority #1.  It is our right, as United States citizens, to Protect Ourselves. 

You Do Have That Right – Believe It or Not!

If an assailant were coming toward me and I felt threatened for my life – It’s simple – Better Them Than ME!!  I will, confidently, use my Taser® C2 and will do everything in my power to protect myself.  If the assailant were to be killed (and I must say – not likely to be caused by the Taser C2– these products have been proven safe by Medical Science) here would be another case where a few people would get up in arms because a Bad Guy got killed and then want to blame it on the Taser.  FOLKS – The issue to remember here is – He Shouldn’t Be Committing a Crime!  

I would venture to say that if we focused on the fact that we are still allowed to bear arms (and this should always include the non-lethal type of self defense products) instead of trying to remove the rights, we would all be better off.  It is imperative that we provide the means for and allow the civilian population to obtain and use (for self defense purposes only) any non-lethal safety defense product.  Some states permit civilians to protect themselves and some states don’t.  WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE?  The Second Amendment says - We should ALL have that right!

Alright – I’ll get off my High Horse!  I think you get the point and you now know how I feel.  For myself, I personally prefer and highly recommend the Taser C2.  This new taser was made available to the civilian population August 2007.  It’s sleek and ergonomic design also makes this an effective and desirable self defense tool for women. 

Women are becoming informed and feeling empowered to proactively take control of their own personal protection by carrying a Taser C2.  Can you imagine a 95 pound woman being able to disable a 245 pound monster?  Well folks, this is now possible.

Let’s discuss Responsibility.  To purchase and use a Taser C2, it requires the user to get a background check performed prior to getting an activation code to enable the taser.  An AFID (Anti-Felon Identification) system was created by Taser International.  When the TASER C2 is deployed, these AFID tags are dispersed at the scene. The large number of AFIDS and their small size make it impractical to clean up. When police are called to investigate any TASER device use, they can find these tags and contact TASER International for a complete trace on the serial number.

The Taser C2 should be used for self defense only.  When you deploy the Taser C2 in self defense, simply leave the taser on the ground and get to safety.  File a Police Report and Taser International will replace the Taser C2 - Free of charge.

Folks - That is responsibility!

Remember:  Stay Safe – Your Safety Is Priority #1

Pepper spray is one of the most popular self defense products on the market today. If you have not heard of it before, it is a spray made out of a solution that contains extracts from chili peppers. When an individual is attacked, the pepper spray can be sprayed into the attacker’s eyes, causing temporary discomfort and even blindness, allowing the person being attacked the chance to escape.  

Pepper spray comes in a wide range of sizes. Individuals commonly carry small pepper sprays for personal protection. There are even tiny pepper spray containers on the market today that can be slipped into a purse or pocket. For instance, one product, known as lipstick pepper spray, looks like a little tube of lipstick. However, when you open the cap it contains a small sprayer instead of makeup. Lipstick pepper spray and other small pepper spray containers can be attached to key chains as well to keep them handy in case of an attack.  

Believe it or not, you can actually purchase pepper spray that is in a ring. This type of self defense is always on your hand, so it will not matter if your purse is stolen or you cannot reach your pocket or keys. All you have to do to dispense the pepper spray is point your hand towards your attackers face and touch your ring.  

If you have ever looked into purchasing pepper spray, you have likely come across a product called Mace Spray. Mace Spray is a combination self defense spray that combines pepper spray, tear gas, and a marking dye. This is a highly effective self defense product. Mace Spray is the brand name for this type of defensive chemical spray, and this company was the first to market pepper spray and other defense sprays to the general product.  

To understand how these products work, it is best to look at the three agents in Mace Spray, which are found in some combination in many pepper spray products. The pepper spray in the product makes the attacker’s eyes shut instantly because it acts as a powerful irritant and inflammatory agent. It will also cause choking and coughing, which typically cause the attacker to panic. Tear gas will cause the eyes to tear, making it difficult to see. Also, this agent causes the attacker’s face to burn and can cause disorientation. The effects of these two agents disappear after thirty minutes to an hour. The UV dye will mark the attacker so that he can be identified after the attack. 

No matter how well the Mace Spray or pepper spray product that you have purchased works, if you do not know how to use it, it will not be of any use to you. Almost all of these products work in a similar fashion. To use the product, you must remain calm when you are attacked. Remember, you are in control because you have a way to defend yourself. The sprayer must be held upright. Then, you need to direct the spray at your attacker’s face. Spray for around five to six seconds. This should give enough of the irritant to the attacker to keep him immobilized for a while. Immediately run away and seek help.

Do as much as you can to avoid a confrontation - "anticipation and avoidance" are the key words. If you get caught up in a situation, try to talk to an aggressor without provoking them. Practice relaxation, as appearing fearful or stressed can actually provoke an attack. Remember that body language is important in aggressive situations, so maintain a comfortable distance between you and the aggressor.

Use a gas or electronic attack alarm, as these give out a short piercing sound and will temporarily disorient an attacker, giving you enough time to escape. Carry it where you can get to it quickly - don't leave it buried at the bottom of your bag. If you don't have an alarm, just make a noise yourself by screaming as loud as you can, or shouting "call the police". If you're loud enough, this can be just as effective as a personal alarm. If you have an alarm, use it and shout as well.

Steady yourself if danger threatens. Panic can disable you, so again it's useful to learn how to keep control in a difficult situation. If you must fight back, adopt what police term the "bash and dash" approach. Primary targets are the eyes, nose, mouth, ears, throat, groin, knees or shins; choose whichever is easiest to get to. If held from behind, don't struggle forward, you'll only exhaust yourself. Instead throw yourself backwards to surprise your attacker or stomp on the lower leg or foot.

You have the right to defend yourself with reasonable force, and this includes using items you have with you such as an umbrella, bag, briefcase or keys. However, don't carry or use anything that the law would regard as an offensive weapon. Once you've achieved your primary aim of stunning or surprising your attacker, get away as fast as you can. If you manage to overcome them, don't attack again. You could be putting yourself in more danger, or you could end up being charged with assault.

These are just the very basics of self-defense. To learn more about it and get some exercise at the same time, find a local self-defense class and encourage your family along to join you. Just remember "anticipation and avoidance" are the best forms of defense.

My choice for this would be a kubotan with pepper spray! What would you use?
