The experience submitted below demonstrates the value of always carrying non-lethal personal protection…
My high school mates who remember me being feisty would not believe what became of me after college. I grew up and calmed down. On the downside, it was as if I never knew how to stick up for myself.
Once, I found myself surrendering my money and cell phone to a mugger. He kicked me in the groin before walking away. I never wanted to feel so defenseless again. My long time buddy said to fight back with stun gun knuckles.
“Sure,” I replied, “not to forget my sharp bladed fists.” I thought he was yanking my chain until he displayed his Blast Knuckle Stun Gun in front me. It looked like brass knuckles, and it stuns for real.
The moment he wore the Blast Knuckle Stun Gun on his knuckles, it started intimidating me. His stun gun knuckles crackled like mad, and when he gave the weapon a tug, it emitted a menacing blue arc of electric shock.
This self-protection weapon, on first impressions, would have no trouble browbeating assailants. After knowing that it strikes with 950,000 volts, almost a million volts of electric shock originating from one man’s knuckles, I was sold.
Striking an opponent with stun gun knuckles, my buddy emphasized, is not fatal but can temporarily debilitate him to allow me some time to flee to safety and potentially seek assistance.
I fell victim to a second robber mere months after obtaining the Blast Knuckle Stun Gun. He harassed me, complete with aiming a handgun at my mouth, so I gestured arms-up compliance and asked permission to take my money out.
My hand grappled for the Blast Knuckle Stun Gun in my pocket, and once landing into it, I took him down. Both his upper arm and abdomen met my stun gun knuckles that he pitched forward. I raced back to my job site and requested the police.

Apartment complexes have a few potentially hazardous areas that single women should be aware of in these dangerous times…
Mailbox Area
This area is one of the most dangerous and you should always keep your guard up! Criminals keep a close eye on mailbox sections of an apartment complex. Why? Because people are pretty predictable as to when they check their mail. Attackers like the fact that if they observe you for a few days, they can pretty much predict when you are going to check your mailbox. Usually people go to this section when they drive home from work. When you approach your mailbox, look around you. If there are a few people present, it is safer, but if you are the only one there, please be very cautious, especially at night. Always prepare your self defense product and have it in your hand and prepared to be used, prior to approaching the mailbox area.
Laundry Room Area
Here is another section of an apartment complex that is very dangerous. For one, it is noisy because of the machines. This noise can easily cover up someones scream or cry for help. For some reason, people feel they need to chat with whomever else is doing laundry. This can be a great tool for an assailant to get more information from you that you shouldn’t have given to him in the first place! Be careful what you tell a complete stranger. Even if he is the cutest guy, and my, so meticulous with his folded laundry! Impressive right? NO! Potential attackers play a caring role to make you feel comfortable and therefore letting your guard down. Again in this situation make sure you have a self defense product readily available.
Trash Dumpster Area
This area is of much concern because most people dump their trash at night, after dinner. If you don’t want to wait until morning, please be very careful about this. If your trash dump area is dark, ask the apartment complex manager to install some kind of lighting around it. This may prove to be difficult but it is worth a try. You might want to consider asking a few female friends, that live there, to join in your request. Always take your self defense product with you and prepare it to be used. Always move cautiously toward the site and look around carefully as you approach. If you see someone that you do not recognize near it, maybe leaning against their car or smoking…Just turn around and go back home. You can always try later. It is better to be cautious than hurt or killed. If you trash is heavy, just set it down somewhere temporarily, where you can pick it up later.

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!

Always be aware of surroundings when parking car and remove visible electronics such as; laptops, ipods, mp3 players and GPS devices. It may seem like common sense but I’m always amazed what I can see inside neighbors vehicles that are parked next to me on the street. Criminals are desperate for quick cash and leaving these type items visible is just asking to be a Smash-n-Grab for criminals. And students, please don’t walk the campus or near by park areas at night with your music blasting through the ear-buds of your Ipod or MP3. Your just asking to be mugged or worse. Finally, when living in an urban area. It’s always a good idea to carry non-lethal personal protection such as a Pretender 4.5 Million Volt cell phone stun gun or Taser.

Being prepared is the best way to remain safe in an urban environment. Street smart safety means being aware of your surroundings and having a plan of action if your attacked. The Extreme college survival Kit was created to reduce the chances of you becoming a victim. Students must learn to build an imaginary perimeter and carry it with you wherever you go, day or night. If anyone enters that perimeter, become instantly aware and discover why that person is there…so close to you! If after leaving a building a student is attacked while walking to their vehicle, they should give the thug what he wants. No personal property is worth losing your life…but women, if these thugs want to drive you somewhere else, now is the time to resist. Don’t leave the parking area even if it means getting injured. You have a much better chance of getting help if your injured where you are. Yell, scream or use an electronic pocket whistle…anything to make noise and draw attention. Parents and grandparents see The Extreme
College Survival Kit as worthwhile gift for their loved ones away at college.

Being prepared is the best way to remain safe in an urban community. Ultimate Personal safety kit for women was created with this in mind. People don’t expect to be victims so don’t take precautions to protect themselves. Criminals are getting smarter and smarter along with being more desperate. The reasons so many people are victims of violent crimes , is that they never think it will ever happen to them. In other words, “someone else will get sexually assaulted but it won’t be me” attitude. Ultimate Personal Safety Kit for Women provides women the tools and information to be safe in the streets and minimize chances of becoming a victim.

If you live in an urban community such as St. Louis , MO. There are precautions you can take to reduce your risk of being attacked and becoming a victim. Spring’s near and many of us look forward to spending more time outdoors. Running, bicycling, roller-blading and just enjoying the fresh air as we exercise at near by parks. It’s important to be aware of your surroundings when parking car and remove or hide your purse, wallet, laptop, IPOD, GPS and any electronic devices from view before you arrive at the park. If there are thieves watching, anything you place in the trunk of your car will be visible to them. They’ll just wait till you leave and break in car to steal valuables while your gone. Also, if possible exercise with a friend or in a group . Your’re less likely to be targeted for sexual assault or rape by anyone observing looking for an easy victim. Always carry an effective self defense product such as Wildfire pepper spray.

The PRETENDER non-lethal cell phone stun gun gives you an edge usually reserved to the attacker-that of surprise. These thugs use surprise to get an advantage over their victim. Our turn to give them the surprise of their life! The attacker won’t recognize or suspect you are carrying a 4.5 million volt cell phone stun gun. Imagine this, the thug has you in a choke hold. You reach into your purse, pocket or holster. Grab your stun gun, push it against his body and press the trigger. In about three seconds 4.5 million volts are dumped into his body and immobilizes him allowing you time to escape. The complete process takes only a few seconds but will immobilize an attacker up to 10 minutes.
The 4.5 million volts interrupts the microscopic neurological
stimulus that controls muscle movement. The results are disorientation and loss of balance. Giving you time to get away while the attacker lays in his own urine drooling at the mouth.
Probably, if your reading this crime has touched your life in some way. Maybe you consider yourself or a loved one at risk. Please take action now to protect yourself! Your life and the life of loved ones are worth more than the cost of a stun gun.
