Chapel Hill, N.C. Police arrested Theodore James Walker trying to kidnap a 20 year old female jogger last week. This piece of crap sprayed the young woman in the face with cheap quality pepper spray and then tried to drag her into his car. Two brothers driving by the scene of the attack, saw the woman being abducted and successfully intervened rescuing the young UNC student…it was her birthday! The victim told police that she was jogging alone when the attacker seemingly appeared from nowhere. Police found a loaded shot gun and baseball bat in Walker’s car. Since his arrest, two Chapel Hill teens have come forward and identified Theodore James Walker as the person who attempted to abduct them the day before his arrest and another woman now has reported being attacked by this sexual predator a week before he was caught.
My urban community of St. Louis, MO is experiencing problems of violent crime on the campuses of SLU and Washington University. College students have been raped, beaten and robbed during the past few months with no arrest to date. I strongly recommend that parents invest in an inexpensive key chain Wildfire pepper spray, Rechargeable 4.5 Million Volt Runt stun gun or Extreme college survival Kit giving your daughter a fighting chance if attacked.

In our urban environment where public transportation is frequently used by all walks of life. Commuters have found themselves in very scary and stressful situations. They’ve had to defend themselves against some seedy characters. The Pretender 4.5 Million Volt cell phone stun gun is the optimum surprise close proximity self defense weapon and it’s non-lethal. It looks so much like a real cell phone that an attacker will never suspect you’ve got 4.5 million volts of serious hurt ready for him. The Pretender 4\.5 million volt cell phone stun gun effects the nervous system by using high voltage to stop the attacker in his tracks. The attacker finds himself without energy and loses body functions because of the 3-5 second jolt. Resulting in the street thug collapsing to the ground laying in his own urine.

The only one you can rely on in an attack is YOU! So you’re taking Krav Maga self defense classes so you can effectively defend yourself if attacked. After class one night you decide to pick up a few groceries. As you close your trunk in the parking lot of the store, a man grabs you from behind. Your self defense training instinctively kick-in and your fighting for your life and doing damage to this thug. But his size and brute strength are too much. No worries thou, the non-lethal Pretender 4.5 Million Volt cell phone stun gun you’re carrying is the equalizer needed to put down this thug and escape. When law enforcement arrive, this scum is still on the ground slobbering and laying in his own urine. Because he thought it was just a cell phone, you gave this attacker the surprise of his life!

The college experience can be a great adventure or terrible nightmare when things go bad and you’ve become a victim and an entry in the FBI crime statistics. We follow media reports about young women being attacked and sexually assaulted on college campuses. But how many sexual assaults go unreported that are considered date rape? Only because the victim feels a sense of shame or embarrassment when she in fact did nothing wrong…trusted the wrong person is all! I recommend every female student protect themselves and carry a key chain non-lethal Wildfire pepper spray for when he won’t accept “NO” for an answer!

Parents, seemingly not a day goes by that we don’t hear about a brutal rape or sexual assault of women. Many are young college students experiencing the first time living away from home and now living on their own on or off-campus. The Extreme college survival Kit provides useful information and self defense tools to keep your child safe. Criminals are street smart and it’s their turf. They’ve already surveyed the best places to attack their intended victims. Criminals are looking for an easy prey to target… like a clueless and naive college student. You’ve seen today’s young college students: Ipod, ear-buds, and totally self absorbed. Clueless of their surroundings and what possible danger await them along their predictable path. FBI statistics indicate a person has 10-15 seconds to respond to an attack. Being prepared is the best way for your child to protect herself and be safe from possible attack or abduction. College students must identify areas of possible attack during their daily travels, especially at night. Develop a plan of action Now! If students wait until their attacked it’s too late and risk becoming another crime statistic. The Ultimate Personal safety kit for women is another self defense resource to help give parents peace of mind while their daughter is away at college.

Sadly, violent crime is a reality of living in an urban community. Usually law enforcement doesn’t get involved until after the crime and you’ve become another statistic. Students need to take responsibility for their own personal safety and protection. There are many inexpensive non-lethal personal protection products available for purchase online. Most are cheaper than a beer tab at the Delmar Loop in University City, Missouri. The Stun Master 950,000 volt Rechargeable Lipstick stun gun is an effective inexpensive way to keep a college co-ed safe!

Marking your property is one of the most simple and effective ways of protecting your possessions.
• For a start, property marking puts burglars off because it let’s others know that the item has been stolen, making it much more difficult to sell. The other big advantage is that it makes tracing and returning your stolen property a lot easier for police.
• The Metropolitan police say that there are two main types of property marking: the first is known as permanent marking, when you engrave or “punch” your property with your street number and postcode. Inexpensive permanent marketing kits can be bought from most DIY stores.
• Make sure you engrave with a fine drill or sharp-pointed tool, and use a template or stencil to keep it neat and tidy. Punching is a form of permanent marking that is done with a hammer and a set of punches bearing numbers and letters. This method is good for bicycles, mowers, engines, or other sturdy metal objects, but don’t use this on aluminum as it’s easily damaged. Of course, you could just improvise and scratch your postcode on it with a sharp object, depending on how happy you expect to be with the final appearance.
Invisible Protection
• Invisible marking is the other method of property marking. This is best for antiques or valuable property that would lose value if spoiled by permanent marking. Police usually check stolen property with a special ultra-violet (UV) marker pen should be used. Just as for permanent marking, use your postcode and mark again if you move. The police also say that it is important to remember that UV marking fades and will need to be renewed every so often.
• Most police forces run schemes that let you borrow an UV or ceramic marker, and you can buy them at most DIY stores. However, in some cases, chemicals can be used to remove invisible marking, and as it fades quickly, you should remember to regularly update your markings.
• Although you can’t see it with the naked eye, invisible marking can still be a deterrent to burglars, but you must let them know you’ve done it by using stickers from the police saying, “property in this home has been marked”. Contact your local police for more details about this.
• When it comes to deciding which items to mark, the answer is “up to you”. Think about what you value most and what might be attractive to thieves. The truth is almost anything can be a target for theft, so why not mark everything?
• It’s worth keeping a property list or inventory of all your household possessions, and be sure to mark the things that you own as you compile your list, including items kept in your shed or garage.
• Finally, where your property is marked is important, especially if engraving or punching. The chances are you’ll want to keep the mark out of site, so try marking underneath or around the back of the item. The most important thing to remember is to choose a surface that can’t be removed without spoiling the basic appearance or performance of the item. If thieves can’t remove your mark without breaking your property, then it’s worthless and they probably won’t want it.

Wherever you are on the street, in an office building or shopping malls, driving, waiting for a bus or cab, stay alert and tuned in to your surroundings.
Trust your instincts. If something or someone makes you uncomfortable, avoid the person or leave.
Know the neighborhoods where you live and work. Check out the locations of police and fire stations, public telephones, hospitals, and restaurants, or stores that are open late.
On Foot-Day or Night
• Stick to well-lighted, well-traveled streets. Avoid shortcuts through wooded areas, parking lots, or alleys.
• Don’t flash money or other tempting targets like jewelry or clothing.
• Carry a purse close to your body, not dangling by the straps. Put a wallet in an inside coat or front pants pocket, not a back pocket. Carry only what is necessary and try not to keep currency and credit cards all in one place.
• Don’t wear shoes or clothing that restrict your movements.
• Have your car or house key in hand before you reach the door.
• Try to use automated teller machines in the daytime. Have your card in hand and don’t approach the machine if you’re uneasy about people nearby. Better yet, only use the ATM machines inside of grocery stores, malls, or gas stations.
• If you think someone is following you, switch direction or cross the street. Walk toward an open store, restaurant, or lighted house. If someone harasses you, don’t be embarrassed. Loudly say “Leave me alone! Someone call the police! Get away!”
vehicle safety
• Keep your car in good running condition. Make sure there’s enough gas to get where you’re going and back.
• Always roll up the windows and lock car doors, even if you’re coming right back. Check inside and out before getting in.
• Avoid parking in isolated areas. Be especially alert in lots and underground parking garages.
• If you think someone is following you, don’t head home. Drive to the nearest police or fire station, gas station, or other open business to get help.
• If someone tries to rob you don’t resist. Give up your property. Don’t risk your life.
• Report the crime to the police. Try to describe the attacker accurately. Your actions can help prevent others from being victims.
• Take a Stand!
• Make your neighborhood and working place safer by reporting broken street lights, cleaning up parks and vacant lots and lobbying local government for better lighting in public places.
• Initiate a block watch program in your neighborhood by contacting your local crime prevention unit.

• Always be aware of your surroundings.
• Stay in well-lit areas as much as possible
• Walk confidently, directly, at a steady pace. A rapist looks for someone who appears vulnerable.
• Walk on the side of the street facing traffic
• Walk close to the curb. Avoid doorways, bushes and alleys where rapists can hide.
• If you think you are being followed, walk quickly to areas where there are people and lights. If a car appears to be following you, turn and walk in the opposite direction or walk on the other side of the street.
• Be careful when people stop you for directions or money. Always reply from a distance and never get too close to the car.
• If you are in trouble or feel you are in danger, don’t be afraid to attract help any way you can. Scream, yell or run away to safety.
• Always lock your car. Keep your car locked when you are away from it to keep someone from hiding and waiting inside.
• When you are inside the car, lock the doors for safety.
• Look inside and around your car before you get in.
• Be aware of other people in parking areas, especially those close to your vehicle.
• If you think you are being followed, drive to a public place or a police station to get help. It’s a good idea to carry a cell phone and keep it charged.
• If your car breaks down, open the hood or attach a white cloth to the antenna. If someone stops to help, stay inside your locked vehicle and ask them to call the police.
• If you choose to carry any type of weapon for self-protection, give careful consideration to your ability and willingness to use it. Remember there is always the chance that it could be taken away and used against you.

If you are tired of being afraid because of rising crimes like rape and brutal assaults, arm yourself with a Taser C2 stun gun to protect you and your loved ones. Compact and easy to carry, they are self-defense electronic devices that will stop an attacker up to 15 feet away –that puts ample space between you and the assailant allowing you a safe distance to escape. Should a close encounter deem it necessary to use force, they also double as a contact stun gun to ward off an attack.
TASER technology provides one of the only non-lethal means of stopping an attacker dead in his tracks, even if that person is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. When you are dealing with an out-of-control aggressor, it’s not always possible to aim for the face. A TASER C2 stun gun can be conveniently discharged to work anywhere on the body of your attacker, so you don’t have to aim for one particular area. This makes the TASER® C2 a more effective self-defense option during an already stressful situation.
The TASER C2 stun gun works by adding a lot of electrical confusion to the nervous system: the electricity is delivered at a high voltage but low amperage, and can disable a human in seconds. Interfering with the body’s electrical signals, the initial effect is interpreted as pain; however, muscle spasms, confusion, and inability to control movement quickly follow. The brain becomes incapable of interpreting the nerve impulses it’s receiving and is unable to send out meaningful impulses to the rest of the body.
TASER devices have been used effectively in law enforcement encounters by over 10,000 police agencies in over 4 countries. Nearly 100% effective, the TASER® combines stun technology with a quantum leap in stopping power via Electro-Muscular Disruption or EMD technology.
Normal law-abiding citizens should have no problem acquiring this highly effective tool for self-protection purposes. However, to further promote responsible ownership, the TASER® C2 stun gun will only function after the owner completes a background check through the manufacturer to prevent misuse. As always, purchasers MUST be 18 years old or older.
TASER® C2 cartridges also have a unique serial number and are equipped with an Anti-Felon Identification system, which discharges 20-30 serialized paper tags when deployed. Law enforcement can later retrieve this confetti from the scene and contact TASER® International to get the name of the owner of the TASER® device, allowing police to track any potential misuse.
If the TASER® C2 stun gun is used in self defense, it can be deployed and left behind attached to and incapacitating the attacker while you get away. If you are forced to leave your TASER® behind, most companies will replace your unit free of charge. Check with your merchant to see if he offers this free replacement offer. More than likely, you’ll need to get a copy of the police report documenting the incident and send it to the company that you purchased it from.
