Why Carry Pink Taser for Women

Sunday, May 1st, 2011

Police research reveal that a Taser, which sends 50,000 volts traveling through propelled wires attached to each unit, has a greater incapacitation rate than a 9mm gun.  Shooting out 2 darts linked to those wires, it can stop a threat up to 15 feet away, permitting a safe space between myself and my attacker.  Knowing these facts provide targeted victims confidence to fight back when attacked.

Also, Tasers combine stun gun technology with the new Electro-Muscular Disruption technology and that the pink Taser for Women has an easy-aim design.  This non-lethal weapons could be utilized both for long-range and close-contact defense, providing women the tactical edge over assailants.

She was especially impressed with the Pink Taser for Women because of its effectiveness rate of nearly 100% as proven by more than 500,000 users globally, plus its Lifetime Replacement Guarantee.  Cartridges of the C2 series have unique serial numbers linked to an Anti-Felon Identification system, that will allow authorities to trace the proprietor and avoid potential misuse.

Now, my friend and I are both assured that her Pink Taser for Women would give her maximum protection whenever she gets into a precarious situation.  Able to impact the sensory and motor functions of the nervous system without causing long term harm, a pink taser for women would thwart any risk that comes her way instantly.

For instance, an Alton, IL man was charged with sexually abusing woman in Godfrey Schnuck’s parking lot this month. The woman was sexually assaulted while walking from the store to her car with groceries.

According to a police report, the victim said her attacker asked her for the time and she checked her cell phone.  After she gave him the time, the creep allegedly pulled his pants down and exposed himself to her. The woman walked to her car and was followed by the predator who continually inquired if she needed help carrying her groceries despite the woman telling him she did not need his help.

Once the woman reached her car and began loading groceries, the assailant is accused of dropping his pants and not only exposing himself to the victim but also rubbing himself against her.  The female victim also reported to the police,  this sexual predator then took her wallet from her hand which she immediately grabbed back from him.

When she grabbed her wallet back the assailant then fled the area on foot.  The victim reported the incident to the Madison County Sheriff’s Department that has since arrested 17-year old Latayuss J. Curry of 1400 State Street. He has been charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse and attempted robbery.

Carrying a Pink Taser for Women will instantly stop any creep who dares to attack you or a loved one alone in a parking lot.

Non-Lethal Personal Protection Against St. Louis Teenage Hoodlums

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

It’s been reported by local media that 72 year old Hoang Nguyen and his 59 year old wife were surrounded and attacked by four African-American teenagers for thrills resulting in the death of the elderly man.  Nearby surveillance cameras show that robbery was not the reason for the violent and vicious attack of this immigrant couple walking home from the grocery store at 10:45 am Saturday morning.

This senseless attack by teenage thugs is another reminder why St. Louis is considered the most dangerous city in America.  Non-Lethal personal protection such as pepper spray is a necessity for self defense against roaming packs of teenage hoodlums looking to victimize innocent defenseless St. Louis residents enjoying an evening at the Delmar Loop or walking home from a local market.

Non-Lethal Personal Protection will instantly stop an attacker without causing any permanent damage but allow the intended victim time to escape and contact police.  Urban crime is real in the most dangerous city in America and St. Louis police can’t be everywhere.

Non-Lethal Personal Protection is being considered more and more as an effective means of self-defense against teenage hoodlums and other street crime.

St. Louis Criminals Most Dangerous in America: Non-Lethal Personal Protection for Women

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010

I’m sure by now you have read or heard the announcement by CQ Press that St.  Louis, MO is the most dangerous city in America. There is much disagreement about the statistical data used to return St. Louis to the #1 ranking in the nation.  There has also been much written and reported in the local media of the outrage and unfairness of announcing St. Louis as the Most Dangerous City in America.

The outrage should be about St. Louis criminals being the most dangerous in America and what’s causing St. Louis to consistently be one of the most dangerous cities in the nation.  After all, we were ranked #1 in 2006 and leaders took no apparent action to address the problem.  So why is everyone acting so surprised?

Also, there has been much discussion about how most of the violent crimes are being committed within easily identifiable zip codes.  Well, if you already know that, wouldn’t it make the problem much more easier to solve?

Here’s my personal predictions;  murders, rapes, robberies, shootings and aggravated assaults will continue to rise out of control as public officials argue about being ranked the #1 most dangerous city in America as opposed to #3, #6, or #10.  Who cares about the ranking, address the problem!  Otherwise, St. Louis criminals, the most dangerous in America, will venture out to the suburbs and affluent parts of the community and we’ll really have a problem when this happens. And as quietly as it’s kept, some say it already has begun.

Criminals aren’t stupid, they’ll eventually search for softer targets near colleges, universities and more affluent parts of the community.  Don’t wait until after you have been victimized by a thug to think about your personal safety.  Wildfire pepper spray and Stun Master‘s 4.5 Million Volt Hot Shot stun gun provide extremely effective non-lethal personal protection for women.

Staying Safe During the Holidays: How to Stay Safe During the Holidays

  • Even though you are rushing and thinking about a thousand things, stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you.  If possible, park your car in an area or high pedestrian activity.  Avoid remote areas.
  • Lock your care and close the windows, even if you are only gone for a few minutes.
  • Loose change is a meal for a street person; they will break your window for small change.
  • Your cell phone can  be sold and reprogrammed and is a sought item of theft.
  • A laptop computer will keep a drug user in a high state, at your expense.
  • Lock your packages out -of -sight in the trunk.  Place your valuables in the trunk before you get to your destination, not after, the thief may be watching.
  • Be sure and lock your car, many opportunists simply look for unlocked cars.
  • If waiting for a ride from a friend or public transportation, do so in busy, well-lit places.
  • Consider security film for automobile’s windows.
  • Always report a theft to the police.
  • Teach your children to go to the store clerk and ask for help if you become separated while shopping.  They should never go to the parking lot or the car alone.
  • Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.  Pay for purchases with a check or credit card when possible and notify issuers immediately if a credit/debit card is lost, stolen, or misused.
  • Be extra careful with purses and wallets.  They may become targets for crime in crowded shopping areas, at bus stops, and on public transportation.
  • Avoid overloading yourself with packages.  It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.
  • At home, be extra cautious about locking doors and windows when you leave the house, even for a few minutes.  Leave lights and a radio or television on so the house looks occupied.  Do not put large displays of holiday gifts in view of your windows or doors.
  • If you go away for the holidays, try to keep your home appearing “living in”; Get an automatic timer for your lights.  Have a neighbor watch your home and pick-up your newspapers and mail.
  • If you use lights on your tree, make sure that they are in good working order.
  • Immediately mark your new gifts with your driver’s license number, and note all serial numbers, keeping records in a safe place.
  • Remember to be a good friend and neighbor this holiday season:  Share these tips with others in your familiy and neighborhood.  Also, why not get your neighborhood together and go caroling.  Do not forget the elderly and other people who might be especially lonely during the holidays.  Soon, you may wish to form a neighborhood watch group.  People helping people, that’s what it is all about!
  • Always be aware of your surroundings and young men loitering in parking lots or parking garages.
  • Women should always carry at least pepper spray as self defense against an attack or abduction.
  • And lastly, when hosting a party, find alternative transportation for intoxicated guests: and when going out drinking, please remember: D0n’t Drink and Drive.

    AVOIDING CRIMES WHEN PARKING

    Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

    Theft and Vandalism
    • Wherever possible, provide each dwelling with its own locked garage within the property boundaries. Locked garages outside the boundaries or well-lit and visible car parks are the next best thing.
    • Where private garages are not feasible, a car-port or driveway parking is preferable to grouped parking away from dwellings.
    • As a general rule, underground or multi-story car parks should be avoided, as they are breeding grounds for vandalism and crime. If they already exist, danger could be minimized by limiting entry points and providing them with sturdy locked gates. Alternatively, each resident could be provided with a lockable garage in their own space, with robust, vandal proof metal doors – garages within garages, so to speak. Or users can be provided with a secure lock or a plastic keycard, which operates electronic doors.
    • Grouped car parks should be avoided in high-crime areas. If they cannot be avoided, they should be within view of some dwellings: they should be equipped with sturdy gates or tilt doors, and should never be sited near alleyways.
    • Open car parks should be small and within view of dwellings and visitors’ car parks should be clearly identifiable, well lit, and visible from dwellings.

    Rape, Assault, Robbery
    • To make car parks safer, planners should provide direct access form parking areas to the entrance of dwellings.
    • Car parks should be no further than 60 meters from dwellings, and the path should be well lit and free from shrubbery.
    • Visitors’ car parks should be well lit, clearly identifiable, and visible from dwellings.
    • Access to enclosed car parks should be limited to residents by some form of electronic entry control device if possible.
    • If it is desirable to limit access to dwellings, make sure access via car parks is monitored as well.
    • In high-crime areas, advanced technological surveillance methods may be needed in car parks. For example, an infrared unit is available which detects the presence of intruders – but not cats and dogs – by body heat, and automatically switches on all lights in the car park and turns them off after 15 to 20 minutes.
