The number one rule with any self defense product is that it must be accessible. If you can't have it out and ready to use the second that you need it, it may be too late to stop the attack. When faced with an attacker, time is of the essence. Rather than selecting a large self defense weapon that you may keep in the bottom of your handbag (or worse yet, in your glovebox or at home), why not choose a compact self defense keychain? This perfectly portable device is an excellent solution to the problem of convenience.
There are several different types of self defense keychains. By far the most popular is a pepper spray canister or pepper shot. These canisters typically contain between half an ounce and an ounce of pepper spray, more than enough to disable any attacker and allow you time to get away. There are several varieties available, including spray designed particularly to keep attacking dogs at bay, as well as canisters in fun colors, including camo, blue, and pink. You can even keep your keychain canister in a cute case designed specifically for it.
Personal alarms are another popular keychain-sized self defense option. Though they will not physically stop your attacker like a canister of pepper spray, they do call attention to the situation. In a similar manner to a home security alarm, the attacker may flee from fear of being caught in the act. These devices also make an excellent choice for children or elderly people who may not have the physical strength or agility to fight back using pepper spray. This type of alarm can also bring help in other situations, such as a fall or a lost child. A personal alarm keychain looks just like the remote lock for a car.
For those who prefer a more hands-on method of self defense, consider a keychain baton. This telescoping method is easy to carry with you, but expands quickly to provide a powerful weapon to use against your attacker. Though it does require more skill to use such a device correctly, it also has a very intimidating appearance.
Keychain-sized self defense products are discrete and convenient to carry. Easy to use, they can dramatically increase your odds of escaping the attack unharmed. When it comes to your own self defense, you must be able to rely on the products that you have with you. Keychain-sized pepper spray canisters, personal alarms, or batons are some of the best ways to ensure that you'll always be able to protect yourself from attack. When this keychain is attached to your keys, you'll be sure to never leave home without it.
When you do your holiday shopping this year, consider self defense keychains to keep your family and friends save from harm. They make great stocking stuffers and are more useful than almost anything else you could buy. Your gift could even save a loved one's life someday, and it will give you peace of mind to know that they are protected.

Tiki culture was popularized in the United States during the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's thanks to tiki bars and restaurants. The most famous of these were Trader Vic's and Don the Beachcombers. Usually served in special cups molded to look like a coconut shell, the bowl of a volcano, or another tiki motif, in many cases the recipes of such drinks were not published on the menu. In fact, the Zombie drink served by Don the Beachcomber, which opened n 1934, is still a secret; many have tried to replicate this popular tiki drink.
In part because of this fact, tiki drinks have come to be seen as a large part of tiki culture. If you are having a tiki party or making good use of your homemade tiki bar, consider serving appropriate tiki drinks. These drinks were typically very large and served with two straws.
Tiki drinks are typical tropical drinks, including mai tais and other iced concoctions. To make these truly 'tiki' drinks, serve them in a ceramic tiki-shaped mug, which was very popular during the mid-century tiki craze. In fact, these mugs are still being produced today, and make a very stylish addition to your home bar. Don't forget to top the drink with a paper umbrella. If you're making iced tiki drinks, nearly any recipe involving rum will do. Another liquor used in tiki drinks instead of rum is Okolehao, a Hawaiian liquor, usually 80 proof, made from the TI plant; it comes in both white and dark versions, like rum.
The Mai Tai was actually invented at the beginning of the tiki craze in 1944 by Victor Bergeron, the founder of the popular chain of Trader Vic's tiki restaurants. To make a mai tai, you'll need the juice of 1 lime, 3/4 ounce orange curacao, 2 ounces orgeat syrup, 1/4 ounce sugar syrup, 2 ounces dark rum, and a splash of grenadine. Shake in a cocktail shaker filled with ice, and then strain into a margarita glass filled with crushed ice.
A Blue Hawaiian or Blue Lagoon is a fun tropical drink that is a bit more unique than the typical mai tai. In a glass of crushed ice, combine 3 ounces of pineapple juice, 1/2 ounce blue curacao, 3/4 ounce gold rum, and 1 ounce cream of coconut, and stir.
The grotto, another favorite at tiki restaurants including Don the Beachcomber's, was served in a giant clamshell for three or more people. It included Bacardi 151, Limon, and O, along with peach schnapps, blue curacao, apricot brandy, and a restaurant secret blend of tropical fruit juices.
In addition to these typical iced drinks, those served in special tiki mugs were often flaming drinks. In fact, many tiki restaurants advertised these drinks as their special; some were only available to members who had tried all of the other drinks at the tiki bar, and most came in specially shaped souvenir mugs.
One example of a hot tiki drink is the Flaming Dr. Pepper. This involves a bottle of 151 (rum), amaretto, and light beer. Fill a shot glass 3/4 full with amaretto, and top with 151 so that the 151 settles on top. Then fill a pint glass halfway with light beer. Carefully light the top of the shot on fire. Once it's lit, drop it into the pint glass. It will fizz; drink as soon as you can.

Article Title: What to if You're Being Threatened With a Weapon

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
What would you do if someone came up behind you and pointed a gun at your back? It may not be pleasant to think about this possibility, but the fact is, having a plan for such situations is crucial if you want to escape them. If you are in a face-to-face confrontation with someone holding a weapon, there are steps that you can take to make the situation less dangerous, even if you have no self defense weapons at your disposal.
If you walk in on a burglary in progress or otherwise spot a perpetrator with a gun, but do not have a gun pointed at you, escape if it is safe to do so, especially if you have not yet been spotted by the armed assailant. Never try to protect any amount of property if there is a weapon involved. Call 911 as soon as you can do so without alerting the perpetrator, in order to increase the chance of apprehending the suspect quickly.
If you cannot escape the situation, staying calm and collected is essential. Maintain eye contact with the assailant, no matter how scared you may be. Try to stall for time or signal quietly for help. Do not make any move that could escalate the situation even more. At this point, there's no reason to rush things along. Instead, you should try to buy yourself time, waiting for help to arrive or for the possibility for escape to a safe place. If you are close enough to the perpetrator, try to get a good description of his appearance and clothing, which can help the police catch him later.
Keep talking, and let the assailant know that you are trying to cooperate with them. If the armed assailant asks for your cash, jewelry, or other possessions, comply with his demands. Trying to keep these items is not worth the risk. Your life is worth more than replaceable material possessions.
Unless you have law enforcement training, do not try to play hero. You risk serious physical harm to yourself and anyone else in the situation with you. Never try to grab the weapon away, or challenge the perpetrator verbally or physically, especially if you are unarmed.
However, this is not to say that resistance is futile. In some situations, it is absolutely critical that you fight back mentally and physically. If the main purpose of the perpetrator is rape, assault, or other violent acts, rather than robbery, it may become necessary to defend yourself. If the weapon has already been used, and it is likely that the perpetrator is preparing to use it again, it may be time to put an end to the situation. If you have devices such as a stun gun or canister of pepper spray, and feel that you can use them without risk to yourself or others, now would be a good time to use them.
Once you have made the decision to try to disarm the aggressor, first consider the range of your device. If they are out of your range, you may need to get closer. Do not just start walking towards an assailant with a gun for no apparent reason, or you will be seen as a threat. Talk, perhaps pretending to plead or negotiate, while slowly closing the gap. You will need to get within range to use your device, while avoiding the possibility of violence directed at you or anyone else stuck in this situation with you. If possible, try to momentarily distract the assailant. Once you spot your chance, move quickly and confidently to disarm the attacker.

Pepper Shot spray is one of the most effective forms of pepper spray on the market today. It comes with a 10 percent concentration of oleoresin capsicum, the ingredient that makes hot peppers so hot. This is among the highest concentration of any pepper spray formula currently available. It is rated at 2 million Scoville heat units, a measurement of hotness. In comparison, the hottest habanero peppers are usually rated at about 500,000 Scoville heat units.
Pepper Shot spray is available in half ounce, 2 ounce ,and 4 ounce sizes. These small containers are easy to take with you wherever you go. The spray dispersed from a Pepper Shot comes out in a very fine mist, more effective than the spray released from many other types of pepper spray because the mist is able to enter soft tissues faster. Other pepper shot formulations, including the fogger and stream, are designed for fighting against multiple assailants or for those who worry that their aim will not be accurate enough. Once this spray hits your attacker's face, it causes difficulty breathing, itchy and watery eyes, and a range of other effects, stopping the attack to stop without causing any permanent damage. These effects last up to 45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to escape any dangerous situation.
Each pepper shot contains more than enough bursts of pepper spray to disable any attacker. In addition to the oleoresin capsicum, Pepper Shot sprays also contain a dye to mark your attacker for later police identification. They are effective at a distance of up to eight or ten feet away from your attacker, so you don't have to worry about getting to close before you are able to use your pepper spray.
In addition to individual pepper shot canisters and holsters, pepper shot sprays are also available in a convenient Pepper Shot Tri-Pack. This handy collection includes a two-ounce canister for home use, a 1/2 ounce canister designed to be clipped to your car's visor, and a half-ounce canister on a keychain to carry with you everywhere. With this convenient package deal, you can cover all areas of your life with one purchase. Whether you are relaxing at home, in the car, or out and about, you'll be protected with your pepper shot spray.
All Pepper Shot sprays have quick key releases, making them convenient to pull out in an instant when you need them. Pepper Shot devices can be carried in a leather keychain case. You'll never forget your pepper shot at home once it's attached to your house and car keys. Pepper Shot spray even comes disguised as a pen, allowing you to hide it in plain sight. It looks just like a sleek black felt tip pen, a great choice to keep handy in your desk drawer or on a clipboard.
Pepper shot sprays are a great choice for everyone to have handy in case of an emergency. Their small size makes these devices easy to carry for everyone, from teenage children to elderly parents and everyone in between. A pepper shot is a convenient, effective, and inexpensive way to defend yourself in any situation. The pepper shot tri-pack also makes a great gift for nearly anyone on your list.

Millions of Americans own guns for hunting or self defense reasons. Many of them are outspoken advocates of gun ownership, and appreciate the feeling of safety their guns provide. While a gun gives a sense of safety, particularly in the event of a home invasion or street attack, gun ownership also poses many dangers in itself.
Studies have shown that a gun kept in the home is more likely to be used on a friend or on a member of the family than on a dangerous criminal. Commonly cited is the "shooting the milkman" scenario, in which a gun owner inadvertently shoots a perceived threat that turns out to be a friend, family member, or acquaintance. In these cases, a scared gun owner may shoot before properly identifying who is in the home. Unfortunately, this may mean the accidental injury or death of a loved one.
The dangers of gun ownership are compounded when there are children in the home. It can be surprising what kids can get into, even if their parents think that the guns are secured. Children may not understand the dangers of a gun, and can end up killing siblings or friends with what they perceive is a toy.
If you choose to keep a gun in the home, there are a number of safety provisions you must follow in order to keep friends, family members, and yourself safe from any type of accident involving use of the firearm. These include storage of the guns in a secure location that cannot be accessed by anyone except the adults in the home. Never point a gun at anyone, even if the safety is on, and never touch the trigger unless you are prepared to shoot the gun at that moment.
Every adult in the home should take lessons on gun ownership and use. The key to safety with guns is knowing about your gun. Never purchase a firearm if you cannot own it responsibly and use it effectively. You should be aware of the way it shoots, including what kickback feels like, as well as the safety features included on your gun model.
In a self defense situation, never pull out your gun unless you are prepared to shoot the attacker. If the gun is unloaded or you don't know how to use it, showing it to the the assailant will do you no good. Simply pulling out the weapon is likely to cause escalation in violence, especially if your attacker is armed. If you are waving around the gun in an attempt to scare off an intruder, he may simply try to grab the gun away from you.
Although the second amendment of the United States Constitution gives citizens the right to keep and bear arms, keeping a gun in your home can be dangerous. If you aren't prepared to deal with the safety issue of owning a gun, or aren't sure you will be comfortable pointing a gun at an attacker, there are other alternatives. Stun guns or TASER devices, for example, are non-lethal self defense devices that pack a powerful punch but won't kill or injure innocent people.

You wouldn't walk down the street counting a roll of hundred-dollar bills, but you would probably drive a vehicle worth thousands of dollars down the same street, and still feel safe. However, there are dangers to doing just that, including carjackings. There are several ways a carjacking happens. Perhaps you're sitting at a quiet intersection, waiting for your light to turn green. A carjacker appears at your window, surprising you. Maybe they have a gun pointed in your face. They force you out of the car and drive away in it.
To avoid a carjacking, drive with your car doors locked and your windows rolled up, and always be aware of your surroundings, even when driving down familiar roads. Do not open your door or roll down your window to talk to anyone except a uniformed police officer. Wear your seatbelt, which prevents a carjacker from dragging you out of the car quickly. Avoid driving into unsafe areas if you don't have to. If you are driving in heavy traffic, always leave yourself room to maneuver and escape. This is helpful not only for avoiding carjackings, but also avoiding an accident when the person ahead of you slams on their brakes.
If your car is bumped into from behind, and there is no traffic nearby, never pull over right there. It may be a carjacker whose intention is to get you out of the car. Instead, motion for them to follow you to a gas station or other nearby occupied and well-lit area. Never get out of the car for any reason at the request of another driver on the road.
Carjackings can also happen in deserted parking lots. Park close to the building, out in the open, not near walls or large bushes where a carjacker could hide. To avoid carjackings, always park in well lit areas, especially if you'll be parked there after dark. Don't be afraid to ask a security guard to escort you to your car. You may feel silly doing it, but those security guards are there to watch out for your safety.
When walking to your car, be aware of occupied cars near yours, particularly if they have parked next to you in an otherwise empty lot. If you aren't paying attention, someone could exit one of these parked cars, quickly walk to your car, and violently confront you. If parked next to you, all they have to do is open their door to catch you off guard. Watch for people loitering in the parking lot, especially if they don't seem to have a reason to be there. If someone suspicious does seem to be approaching you, change directions, or walk back into the store and alert security to the situation outside.
Once you reach your car, get in quickly and lock the doors. Don't take a long time loading packages into the car with your back turned to anyone who might approach you. Start your car and drive away immediately rather than sitting in the parking lot talking on the phone or reapplying your makeup.
If you are confronted by an armed carjacker, do not resist. Your car and possessions can be replaced, but your life is irreplaceable. Give up your keys and money without resistance, but make sure that you are not in the car when they drive away. To prevent a carjacking from becoming a kidnapping, you may need to use pepper spray or a similar device. Another strategy is to throw the keys in one direction while you run in the other direction. If you are forced into the car, and you are the driver, crash your car in the middle of a busy intersection. Bystanders will come to your aid and call police.
You may think that only luxury vehicles are the targets of carjackings, but actually nearly every make, model, and year may fall victim to such an attack, including both domestics and imports. In fact, the list of the most stolen cars includes many models that are over a decade old. Carjackings leave none of the telltale signs of a break-in, making it easier for the thieves to sell your car. Especially if your car is on the list of frequently stolen lists, consider Lojack or another theft tracking system that can locate your car if it is stolen.

Article Title: Taser in the Media - Are Taser Devices Safe?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The question everyone seems to be asking about TASER devices is whether they are safe. While there has been a great deal of recent media coverage over TASER use by law enforcement officials with unfortunate results, TASER devices are actually very safe. News stories center on isolated incidents, nearly always impacted by a previous condition or other contributing factors. It is important to note the distinction between contributing and causing; while TASER use has the potential to be a contributing factor for injury or death, there are no cited cases in which the use of a TASER device is the only factor.
For law enforcement use of TASER devices, the safety of the officer and of the criminal must be the first priority on all occasions. In a law enforcement situation, TASER devices are often used as an alternative to firearms, and in this instance they are much safer for the target. They are also used as an alternative to other means, such as simple physical force, and in this situation they are much safer for the arresting officer.
Similarly, in self-defense situations it is crucial to think about whose safety should be the first priority, and what level of risk is acceptable. TASER devices have been highly touted as effective, non-lethal self defense products. While it is undeniable that there is always a risk in applying a strong electrical current to anyone's body, studies have shown that these devices are overwhelmingly safe. They are known to take down large, strong assailants in mere seconds. When you use a TASER device to stop an attack, you are preventing further harm to yourself and taking down the attacker with the least amount of force necessary.
A small risk of injury to the assailant is much preferred over any possible alternative. Remember, the person attacking you has chosen to engage in an illegal activity, putting innocent citizens and police offers at risk. While you may be concerned about hurting or killing your attacker, always remember that his safety must be a lower priority than your own.
With this low risk of injury, why do instances of injury or death related to TASER use keep making the news? The truth behind these stories is that in nearly every case, the target of TASER use had pre-existing conditions affecting the results of TASER contact. The electrical signal delivered using a TASER device can affect those with preexisting heart conditions, as well as those who are on drugs. In addition, loss of muscle control causes the criminal to fall to the ground; in the process, they could injure themselves. There is a persistent myth that TASER use can cause heart attacks, but in actuality the electrical current of this device simply cannot deliver the amount of energy required to cause heart attacks unless drugs or prexisting conditions are involved.
A recent study of TASER use has found that TASER devices are a safe self defense tool. According to the Wake Forest University School of Medicine, 99.7% of all instances of TASER use result in no significant injuries. TASERS provide a non-lethal option, allowing private citizens and police officers to control a violent situation without risking their own safety, and in nearly all cases, without harming the criminal.

Lately, school attacks have been in the news. Unfortunately, they seem to be growing more and more common. How do you teach your children to be safe in the case of such attacks?
Most schools, particularly those at the kindergarten through twelfth grade level, have a zero tolerance policy with regards to weapons of any kind. This means no guns, no knives, and no pepper spray. Even if you give your child a small canister of pepper spray simply for self defense reasons, both you and your child can get in serious trouble if this is discovered.
Since weapons, even nonlethal ones that are designed for self defense, are banned on school property, you'll need to consider other ways to prepare your children for such attacks. The truth is, they are much more likely to come up against more routine violence, such as bullying, than against a mass school shooting like those that have been on the news. Though the level of violence can vary greatly depending on the age of the kids and the particular school, you can bet that your children will have to face a violent or threatening situation at some point during their educational career.
Your advice should depend on your child's age. Younger children should simply be told to tell an adult if another child is threatening them or harassing them, while older children may be unwilling to do so and want to handle the situation themselves. Of course, in all cases if an adult who is not a student at the school is seen as a possible threat, the school should be alerted immediately.
You should also teach your children to pay attention if their friends seem depressed or even suicidal. Although many adults don't believe it, young children, especially those entering the teenage years, can be depressed. Depression is not limited only to adults and older teens. If your child sees his or her friends or anyone else at school with a gun, knife, or other weapon, a teacher or other school authority should be told immediately. This can stop school violence before it even starts.
Because children are unarmed when in school, the best plan if they think that someone wants to hurt them is to go away from that person and tell an adult. It is a personal decision what you choose to tell your kids about bullies, whether they should try to fight back, or immediately tell an adult, or some other response. Still, they should at least know how to protect themselves if someone tries to pick on them. Particularly if your child has a problem with bullies, self defense classes can give them the confidence to deal with these issues.
Schools today can be frightening, depending on the particular environment and your child. Give your child the skills they need to be successful in such an environment by boosting their self confidence and helping them to learn what to do in situations such as these. All students deserve to go to school in an environment where they are safe from harm.

Article Title: Techniques For Using Pepper Spray

Using pepper spray is very easy, even for the untrained individual. Simply aim it at your attacker, and press the button. Many have compared pepper spray canisters to ordinary cans of spray paint, and in fact, the principle is the same. However, actually using the pepper spray in a self defense situation can require a bit more care. Many people panic in this situation. They may fail to aim before pressing the button, or even close their eyes tightly as they aim. Because defense sprays could save your life, it is vital that you learn and use the proper techniques.
Canisters of pepper spray should be held upright. Ideally, you should be balanced on both of your feet, although the designers of defense canisters understand that this isn't always possible as you are being attacked. For maximum effectiveness, the canister must be aimed directly at the assailant's face and eyes. If you only have a clear shot of an arm, leg, or torso, try to wait until you see his face before using the pepper spray.
Make sure you're ready to spray and that your aim is at the attacker's face, and then press the button down firmly, with no hesitation. Do not stop and wait; your assailant may sense this nervousness and take that moment to increase the attack. Do not hesitate at all to spray your self defense weapon. Remember, it is not going to kill the person or cause permanent damage, it's just going to get you away from their attack.
While you're spraying the canister, resist the urge to close your eyes, which will cause you to lose concentration and reduce the accuracy of your aim. If you are standing very close to your attacker on a windy day, your eyes may water a bit due to the pepper spray chemicals floating in the air, but it is crucial that you maintain contact between the pepper spray stream and your assailant's face. Continue to follow their head with your aim, because they will inevitably look away from the stream.
Even if their eyes are clamped shut and their hands have flown in front of their face, keep spraying. Make sure that they get a good dose of the spray before you escape the situation. Two to three seconds should be enough to take down any attacker, although you need not count the seconds in your head. Instead, maintain your aim until the attacker is down and you can get away safely.
Before you find yourself in this situation, consider practicing your aim on an inanimate object. This is the best way to see for yourself what the spray looks like as it comes out of the can. There are several different types of pepper sprays, including a forced cone spray that comes out in a fine mist, or a solid stream spray, or pepper spray released in a fog. Steady stream and fogger sprays can be sprayed in a back and forth motion to hit everything in their path, a particularly useful strategy for fighting back against multiple assailants.

Most people have heard of pepper spray, but do you know how it works, or what exactly is inside the can that you are carrying?
All pepper sprays are not the same. They are rated in Scoville Heat Units (SHUs), just like very hot peppers. This measurement is directly related to how effective the pepper spray will be. Most pepper sprays currently available have a rating of around 2 to 3 million SHU. A very hot habanero pepper is close to 2 million SHUs, for comparison. The higher the SHU, the hotter the spray, although any of the commercially available pepper sprays should be plenty to stop an attacker. Pepper sprays come in a variety of effectiveness ratings. Most are designed to stop humans, while others are rated for dogs or bears.
The first personal defense sprays, first developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, contained Oleoresin Capsicum, or OC. This oil extracted from peppers of the Capsicum family is known to cause coughing, watery eyes, and a burning sensation on the skin. The oleoresin capsicum is what gives the peppers their heat. Originally, it was extracted from chili peppers, and then powdered for use in pepper sprays.
Today, most pepper sprays are actually made from chemicals, such as Chloracetophenone (CN) or Orthochlorobenzalmalonitrile (CS). These chemicals usually affect the tear ducts, as well as irritating the eyes, nerve endings, mucous membranes, and skin. Modern pepper sprays also restrict breathing. Today, pepper sprays may include CN, CS, OC, or a combination of these chemicals, because some people are more affected by one than by the other two.
To turn these chemicals into a useful spray, the chemical compounds are suspended in water, and then pressurized in the canister. Some pepper sprays also contain a UV dye which marks the attacker. Once apprehended, the dye on the attacker's face, hands, and clothing will glow under UV light for up to 48 hours, aiding in a positive identification.
The spray mechanism itself works just like a can of spray paint. Simply aim at the attacker's face and press the button, and this pepper spray will hit anyone within a 4 to 20 foot range, depending on the size and type of spray you are carrying. Some pepper sprays come out as a fine mist, which is ideal if you have doubts about being able to accurately aim at the attacker. Others come out in a solid stream, which is thought to be more effective but harder to aim, since it must hit the attacker's face directly to be most effective.
After spraying an attacker with this pepper spray, the person will instantly become quite uncomfortable. Their eyes will usually shut immediately and begin watering profusely in an attempt to wash out the pepper spray. It may also cause temporary blindness. The attacker will become immobilized by the irritants in the pepper spray as their skin develops a burning sensation. These effects take just a second or two to appear, instantly stopping the attack.

Article Title: What is the Castle Doctrine?

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
One of the most commonly cited self defense principles is known as the "Castle Doctrine." Stemming from the saying "a man's home is his castle," this American legal principle holds one's place of residence (the "castle") as a place where one enjoys protection from violent attacks or illegal trespassers. The wording of the Castle Doctrine in each state answers the question, "is it legally justifiable to kill someone who invades your home?"
Under the Castle Doctrine, an occupant has the legal right to use deadly force in defending their place of residence, as well as any innocent occupants legally inside it, from violence or from an intrusion that may lead to violence. Under the Castle Doctrine, the use of deadly force resulting in the death of a trespasser or assailant may be legally defended as justifiable homicide. In addition to providing a valid defense for criminal cases, many states' versions of the Castle Doctrine also protect the occupant from civil lawsuits filed by the assailant for injury resulting from the use of force to stop their illegal actions.
Although based on English Common Law codified in the 1700s, each state's interpretation of the Castle Doctrine varies. In fact, there are still a few states that do not have a Castle law. Check your state's laws to see where your state stands on this important issue. This information can be invaluable when forming a strategy for defending yourself, your family, and your home. Each state differs in the specific instances to which the Castle Doctrine applies, as well as the degree of retreat or resistance required before deadly force is permissible. In general, there are several specific conditions which must be met before the Castle Doctrine can be applied. For example, an intruder must be making an unlawful attempt to enter an occupied home, and the occupant must reasonably believe that the intruder plans to inflict serious bodily harm or death. Some states apply the Castle Doctrine to your vehicle and your business, while others restrict it to the place of residence.
In some states, the Castle Doctrine may also state a "duty to retreat," requiring the occupant to attempt to retreat or exit the house before using force to defend themselves or their residence. However, in other states the Castle Doctrine specifically states that the occupant has no such duty, and can use potentially deadly force without first trying to flee the situation. This clause, which states that the occupant has no duty to retreat from a place in which they have a right to be, is known as the "Stand Your Ground" clause.
While the Castle Doctrine gives you the authority to use lethal force when protecting your home, deadly force is not allowed in all instances. Many states require the use of "reasonable force." In other words, if a reasonable person would not use deadly force in this instance, then it is not legally allowable. In addition, many homeowners do not wish to use deadly force even when it is allowable under the law. Luckily, there are great alternatives that offer life saving protection in a non-lethal manner, disabling an invader to give you time to get away from harm.

Although it's important for everyone to concern themselves with self defense, women are especially at risk. Women should prepare themselves for self defense by learning strategies and carrying a self defense weapon. Although it's easy to think that it will never happen to you, the reality is that violence against women occurs everyday all across the globe.
Self defense is particularly important at night or when you're going anywhere alone. Always be sure to stay in well-lit, occupied areas, and take a friend if you can. To prevent attacks, avoid areas where someone could more easily attack you. Walk confidently and fairly quickly; don't hang around in dark areas or walk with your head down and your hands deep in your pockets. If you're worried, ask for a security guard escort in situations such as going to your car after shopping.
Leave your expensive designer jewelry, purses, and clothing at home, and don't wear uncomfortably high heels that would make it hard for you to run, if needed. These can make you an attractive target for thieves and other attackers. Don't talk on your cell phone or listen to your IPod if you're walking alone, particularly at night, because these can distract you from the current situation and will make you look like an easy target.
Even if you do follow these guidelines, you should still arm yourself with a self defense device; they are easy to carry and use, and will protect you from any situation where you are under attack. The most popular self defense weapon choices for women include stun guns, TASER devices, personal alarms, and pepper spray. Personal alarms are small keychain-sized devices that emit a very loud alarm when they are switched on, calling attention to your situation. They are easy to slip into your pocket or purse. For women, stun guns and TASER devices come in pink, blue, and other fun colors, to make you feel more comfortable with carrying them.
Pepper spray can be found in the form of a keychain, pen, and other disguised forms. Yes, they even come in pink. These products are designed particularly for women's self defense needs, and are easy to carry discreetly and use quickly. Small pepper spray canisters can easily fit into even the tiniest clutch or handbag. These styles and colors can cater to your fashion sense while still protecting you from harm.
If you are worried about date rape or similar occurrences with acquaintances, then it makes sense to carry a pepper spray pen. If you become aware of an imminent attack, you can pull out your disguised pepper spray without the attacker knowing that you are aware.
Although many people advocate learning martial arts or other physical ways to protect yourself, this may be a little realistic, particularly if you are small in stature or don't consider yourself to be very strong. Remember that the person attacking you is likely bigger and stronger, and may have a weapon. Self defense weapons will be much more effective against such attacks than trying to hit or kick an attacker.
Carrying a small and stylish self defense weapon in your handbag is a great way to give yourself the confidence you'll need to resist attacks. Although violence is something you need to be prepared for, with a few easy self defense strategies and a self defense device, you'll be prepared to handle any situation that arises. Why take the chance on becoming a victim when preparing yourself is so easy?

Article Title: Security in Jewelry Stores and Pawn Shops

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
It is well known that pawn shops and similar stores can be risky businesses; with a large stock of small, valuable objects and large amounts of cash on hand, they make attractive targets for opportunistic thieves. If you have opened a jewelry store, pawn shop, or a similar retail location with many small and valuable objects on display, be sure to consider safety aspects, not only to prevent theft but also to keep your employees out of harm's way.
It has been shown that the economy also impacts property crimes, particularly burglaries. As the economy slumps, some turn to thievery to get extra cash. Others rob jewelry stores and pawn shops for the thrill. Whatever the reason, you must take steps to protect your business inventory and your employees.
The first step, of course, is to make your business less of a target for burglars. This includes simple steps like adequate outdoor lighting and thick deadbolts on a sturdy door. Depending on the neighborhood, you may opt for bars on the windows. These measures make your store more difficult to break into, and will make many potential thieves decide on a different target.
Cameras are a must-have addition to any retail security strategy, particularly when you have small, valuable items that could easily be stolen. Whether dummy or real, a camera gives potential thieves the appearance that they are being watched. This is a powerful psychological deterrent, and will probably result in would-be thieves choosing an easier target, where they won't get caught in the act. In this context, security cameras are one of the most effective weapons in preventing theft. These security cameras should be installed both inside and outside your store, near any large groupings of valuable and small items that may have a tendency to "walk away" otherwise.
As far as security systems are concerned, either install a building alarm system, or place door and window alarms on every potential access point. These alarms beep loudly when opened, calling attention to the situation. Similar devices can also be used inside the store. If you have valuable merchandise in glass cases, small alarms can keep the cases from being opened by potential thieves.
Personal alarms have a third use, and that is as 'panic buttons' for your employees. If someone threatening comes into the store, they can press this button to alert others. This is particularly helpful if you have employees working in the back of the store, where they may be oblivious to anything going on up front. If there is the potential for all employees to be in the back room at one time, install a door chime to alert you to a customer's entrance. This is simply a good customer service practice, in addition to preventing people from stealing from your unattended store.
Depending on your overall security strategy, you may want to provide additional methods for your employees to protect themselves. TASER devices, pepper spray, and stun guns all make sensible choices for self defense. While you probably don't want to arm employees with guns, these devices are non-lethal and easy for anyone to use with very little training or experience. Your employees can remain safely behind the counter while diffusing the threat.
If you don't want to subject your employees and your expensive jewelry to possible burglaries and theft, you must take steps to install security measures, such as cameras and alarms, along with having a clear plan for how employees should respond to theft, including the possibly of armed burglars.

When you're considering the safety of your home, don't forget to protect your children. Not only will you need to protect them from people who might want to harm them, but you also need to prevent accidents or other situations where your children might get into trouble all by themselves.
A night light can help your child see in the dark, so that they don't stumble if they need to get up in the night. Many children also prefer a night light so that their room isn't completely dark at night. These lights can be placed in the bedroom, hallway, or bathroom to provide safety during the night.
A camera or baby monitor can help you watch them during the night. This can ensure that they don't do anything they aren't supposed to, and also help you determine what's going on in their room if you hear a loud noise. Baby monitors aren't just useful for babies in cribs, but also for any young child's room.
If you have young children, chances are good that you understand the need to use child safety products around the home. Cabinet latches or locks, outlet plugs, doorknob guards, and pool alarms can make sure that they can't go anywhere dangerous. You may not realize it, but cabinets, outlets, and bathrooms harbor plenty of dangers for young children. Pool alarms are an often overlooked child safety device, but they are critical if you have a pool, as they will alert you to anyone that has fallen in the pool or is trying to swim. These are a must-have for your toddlers. Baby-proofing your home should be done before they start crawling, and should remain in place until you are sure that they are old enough to keep themselves safe.
Besides these devices to keep your home safe for children, you also need to remember to protect your children against anyone who may enter your home uninvited. The camera can help you see what is happening, but you also need to make sure your children are protected without you immediately coming to their aid. Personal alarms are small alarms that can be activated by children; when the switch is flipped, a loud noise will sound. These can also be taken with you to crowded places like malls or amusement parks to provide additional safety.
Contact alarms can be placed on doors and windows, along with safety beams on the floor. They will make a loud noise when movement is detected. Besides protecting your home from anyone trying to come in, they will alert you to children trying to leave the home at night.
Don't forget to teach your children about safety. What you tell them should be age-appropriate, and include plans for fires, earthquakes, and other emergencies as well as what to do if they think someone is trying to break in. When teaching your kids about safety, try not to scare them, but make sure that they know what to do in case of emergencies of any kind. Teach young kids how to dial 911, and how to avoid dangerous situations when you are out in public.

Going on a blind date is actually a lot more dangerous than most women realize. Even if a friend or family member has met your date, who's to say that the guy is truly who he says it is? Remember, the friend who set up the date may not really know this guy at all. She might not even know his last name!In fact, even if it's not a blind date, how well do you really know this guy? Be aware of the possibility for danger, watch for warning signs, and carry self defense products so that you can keep yourself out of a dangerous situation.
When you're first dating, it is very common to know virtually nothing about your date. This places you in a vulnerable situation. The first few dates are statistically more dangerous – that's when a rape or attack is more likely to occur. On the other hand, can you really screen your dates beforehand to avoid this possibility?
During the first few dates, ask your date plenty of questions to get to know him. Be leery if he avoids personal questions, such as his occupation and where he lives. Consider looking your date up on social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace so that you can see what he's like before your date. Still, don't be lured into a false sense of security if your date appears to be normal from this superficial glance into his life. There could be a lot under the surface that you simply can't find out about online.
One of the ways that you can make dating safer is by suggesting a group date or double date until you get to know each other a bit better. This will allow you to have a security net of friends with whom you are comfortable. If your date refuses to be around your friends, this is a warning sign. You may not want to go out with him if he's only willing to see you alone. Another important move for your safety is to drive yourself to the date. You should never accept a ride from someone you don't know well, even if he is your date. You never know what kind of dangerous situations this could get you in. Always pay attention to the body language of a date. While you can expect them to act nervously, warning signs include becoming angry or agitated at insignificant things. Many women don't see the warning signs of body language until it's too late.
Unfortunately, there is no concrete way to tell that a date might try to harm you until it's happening. There are some very effective self defense products that you can use to protect yourself from harm. Pepper spray, stun guns, personal alarms, and other devices are invaluable in these types of situations, and can be easily carried in your purse. These self defense devices will disable an attacker long enough for you to get away. Too many women don't even consider carrying these products until they've already been attacked once.

When considering your family's safety, be prepared for the possibilities. You should protect your home and your family using self defense products like window alarms, dummy cameras, and pepper spray. Something else that you should not forget is an emergency kit. Not only should you be prepared for environmental issues, like a power outage or earthquake, but you must also be prepared to deal with the possibility of physical injuries.
Your emergency kit should contain everything your family would need to live three days with no additional support. This means no gas station, grocery store, police, or hospital. Keep a waterproof container in an accessible location (not under piles of other things in your garage or basement). Your supplies should be kept together in this location, although it also makes good sense to keep additional stores of supplies around the home in case your larger kit becomes inaccessible during the emergency. For example, keep your pepper spray and stun guns around the home, rather than storing them in the relatively inaccessible location of a plastic storage bin.
Emergency supplies should include blankets, plastic tarps, duct tape, and a change of warm clothes for each family member. These items provide shelter. It should also include a battery-powered radio, flashlights, batteries, and a food and water supply to last several days. Think about your family's unique needs, and plan accordingly.
Don't forget to include a large first aid kit, perhaps even in its own separate box from the one containing the rest of your emergency supplies. In fact, your emergency first aid kit should be kept in an even more accessible location since you may need to use it more frequently than the rest of your emergency supplies. A medical emergency could happen for a wide range of reasons, from a child falling off their bicycle to a cooking injury to someone breaking into your home and hurting one of your family members. While there is no way to predict what kind of medical emergency may befall you, be prepared for common injuries with gauze, bandages, antiseptic, and other common first aid supplies.
Besides having the supplies, you should also learn how to use them. Purchase a book on basic first aid practices so that you'll know what to do if a family member is injured and in need of immediate help. Read it before the time comes; in an emergency, you won't have time to read the book from cover to cover. Enroll your family in self defense classes so that they'll know how to defend themselves, and emergency preparation and first aid classes (which can be found through your local Red Cross) so that you will all feel more confident dealing with whatever comes your way.
An emergency kit, including supplies to protect and care for your family, is a small investment to ensure your peace of mind. You never know what emergency could happen, from someone breaking into your home to an earthquake or large fire. Be prepared for any possibility with a well-stocked emergency kit containing items to protect your family, provide comfort, and care for their needs.

A recent National Sleep Foundation study discussed on 'Good Morning America' showed that 37 percent of all drivers have fallen asleep at the wheel, and over 60 percent have driven while drowsy. In one year, 100,000 crashes involving drivers asleep at the wheel account for 1,500 deaths. Aside from the health problems associated with getting too little sleep, being sleepy also represents a serious safety issue for a wide variety of people, from semi truck drivers and pilots to ordinary people running errands in their car. According to some, the problem of sleepy drivers rivals that of drunk drivers. Driving while drowsy slows your reaction time, just like driving while under the influence. Similarly, drivers who are tired may have a difficult time paying attention to the road.
Have you ever fallen asleep while driving your car? You've certainly heard about crashes involving sleeping drivers, which make the news seemingly every week. Although it is more common among those working the graveyard shift or driving for long period of time, anyone who doesn't get enough sleep each night is at risk. Millions of Americans drive while drowsy every day, putting themselves and everyone else on the road at risk. You may not realize how tired you are until you get behind the wheel. Most drivers have experienced the tiring effects of staring at the lines in the road mile after mile, especially after dark. Particularly if you're alone in the car, it can be difficult to stay alert, especially for long trips.
If you are scared of the danger of falling asleep at the wheel, there are several different devices designed to keep you awake during the critical time you are on the road. The Nap Zapper is worn around the ear. When your head starts to nod as you doze off, a loud alarm wakes you up, alerting you to the problem and keeping you awake. The Nap Zapper is a simple and inexpensive way to prevent accidents caused by driving while drowsy. This Anti-Drowsy alarm could save lives, especially when worn by truckers and others who spend a large portion of their lifetime behind the wheel. Don't wait to be awakened by the sound of a honking horn in the oncoming lane of traffic – the Nap Zapper can awaken you before you drift across lanes of traffic or cause an accident.
Whether you wear the Zap Zapper or not, stop every 100 miles during your trip. If you feel drowsy, pull over and get some rest. Even a 20 minute nap will help, although of course a full night of sleep is preferable. Don't start your trip at night, when you will be most tired. On long trips, take turns driving or plan out your nighttime stops. Consider postponing your trip if you don't feel awake enough to drive. Signs that you are too tired to drive include yawning, difficulty keeping your eyes open, feeling like you need a cup of coffee, or trouble remembering the last few miles you have driven.

Every day, thousands of people across the world find themselves face-to-face with muggers, rapists, and other attackers. Though it's easy to believe that this will never happen to you, the truth is that you must be prepared. Consider carrying pepper spray, a stun gun, or another self defense product, and learn how to protect and defend yourself against an attack.
The best self defense move is to avoid an attack in the first place. This includes several commonsense moves, like staying in well-lit areas, and not walking around alone in deserted areas, especially at night. Travel in groups, and don't be afraid to ask for an escort to your car after an evening shopping trip. If you must be in such situations, remove any flashy jewelry or purses, and cover designer clothing. Do not carry your iPod or other electronics; these can be attractive targets for thieves, and may also distract you. Use common sense to keep yourself from being a target for attacks.
Above all else, pay attention to your surroundings. Be aware of people following you down the street or towards your car. If something seems wrong, react immediately. If you do find yourself in imminent danger, your first step is to try to get away. Move towards other people, into a store, or near traffic or other well-lit areas.
By far the best way to fight back when face-to-face with an attacker is by using pepper spray, stun guns, or other self defense products designed to be used by amateurs. These are easy to use, provided that your attacker comes close enough, and are very effective at disabling the attacker long enough for you to get away. These should be in plain sight if a suspicious person approaches you, because often merely the sight of them can deter an attack.
For the vast majority of people, a physical fight is not a good strategy to escape an attacker. The fact is, in most cases the attacker could overpower you. Plus, your attacker came prepared for a fight, and may have a knife or gun. Avoid these situations if it is within your power to do so.
Martial arts moves, especially those you see in the movies, tend to be impractical in real-world scenarios, though martial arts training can certainly help you stand your ground. Still, if you find yourself without any other defenses, fight back. Do not stop fighting until your attacker stops attacking you and is disabled enough for you to get away. Use punches and kicks, and bite and scratch at your attacker. Aim for the groin, face, and throat. Land constant hits; if you stop fighting back for even a second, your attacker will have a chance to harm you. Whenever you get the slightest chance, run as fast as you can to the nearest area of safety. This is never the preferred result of an attack, but if it comes to a physical fight, do everything in your power to hurt the attacker so that you can get home safely.

How do you make sense of a chaotic self defense situation in order to apply the martial arts moves you've learned? While some believe that all you need to do is memorize some karate moves, or simply make it up as you go, there is a more successful way to engage an attacker physically. Successful martial arts with a self defense focus is more about strategic thinking, not about specific techniques.
Have you ever wondered how you will know how to fight back effectively when an attacker is coming at you? If you do not learn martial arts with an eye towards self defense, the truth is that you will not be learning effective strategies for real-life situations. This has been described as the "kata" approach, after the memorized movements learned in karate. Although mastery of this predetermined pattern of movements (known as forms) is essential if you want to earn your next belt color in karate class, it leaves much to be desired on the self defense front. While it provides a good structure upon which to build real-world responses, the student does not learn how to "figure out" what to do next.
Another approach to self defense using martial arts, the free-response approach, involves the teaching of various responses and how to use your intuition to know what to do. In this approach, each student develops his or her own way to handle dangerous situations, rather than memorizing pre-set combinations of moves to use regardless of the specific threat. The downfall of this method is that the student is left without the benefit of tried-and-true models of self defense.
Martial arts training for self defense must incorporate both basic moves and strategic methods for using them. Determining the moves to use in a physical altercation must rely not only on intuition, but also on an understanding of how a fight begins, escalates, progresses, and is controlled. By gaining awareness of this overarching structure, you can develop a way to make sense of self defense situations that seem to be chaos. An effective self defense strategy must take into account the four major phases of the attack. These four phases should not be seen as distinct steps. They should flow naturally from each other as you enter, engage, and gain control over the self defense situation.
The first step is to observe a potential assailant. With martial arts experience, you can tell if an assailant seems to be setting up for grabbing, striking, or lunging at you. This stage is about discerning your attacker's initial strategy with regards to direction and control.
The next stage is to avoid the confrontation. Do not get beaten by your attacker's first move. During the initial attack, your concern should not be on trying to hurt your attacker as much as avoiding becoming hurt yourself. Dodge or evade strikes, maneuver to regain balance, and neutralize the effects of the initial strike.
Once you have avoided your attacker's initial attacks, shift your strategy to making it difficult for your attacker to continue. In this phase, begin fighting back with your own strikes and maneuvers, gaining control over the assailant. Finally, take your attacker down. Your attacker must be on the ground in order for you to escape. Use your strongest martial arts techniques and skills to stop the attack. Make sure that the attack has stopped, and then get away to a safe place as quickly as possible.

If you're worried about theft, remember that there are quite a few steps that you can take to minimize the possibility that you will become the target of thieves or burglars, whether in your home, when walking outdoors, or in your car.
To keep your home safe from theft, make the exterior as uninviting for burglars as possible. Install adequate exterior lighting, such as motion-activated spotlights. Don't plant large bushes or leave other hiding places near doors or windows. Always keep doors and windows locked, and protect them with burglar alarms. These can be installed around your whole home, or just in the windows that seem vulnerable to burglars. Keep curtains closed on windows, especially those on the ground floor, so that potential burglars can't see what you have. Consider dummy cameras to make potential burglars believe that their every movement is being recorded. Keep pepper spray canisters, stun guns, or other self defense products in your home in case a burglar does break in.
Inside the home, place any valuables, including expensive jewelry, irreplaceable paperwork, and firearms, inside a locked safe. Smaller items can be kept in a diversion safe, which is shaped to look like a pop can or other everyday item. These can even be kept in your car to keep valuables safe from thieves.
To prevent car thefts, consider an anti-theft device. Some simply sound an alarm if your car is broken into, while others have GPS tracking devices to recover your stolen vehicle. No matter what type of theft deterrent alarm you choose, always apply the window sticker to warn thieves not to attack your car. Place all valuables in the trunk when you exit your car. Park your car only in well-lit parking lots, with the windows rolled up and the doors locked. Don't park your car for extended periods in areas that may be vulnerable to car thefts, such as empty and isolated parking lots. Never use a hide-a-key system or leave the keys in your vehicle.
Theft can also happen when you're simply out and about. To prevent personal attacks motivated by a desire to steal your belongings, avoid wearing expensive jewelry or designer clothing, particularly if you'll be walking alone at night. Take off your headphones and put your MP3 player away so that you can pay attention to your surroundings. Carry a stun gun, pepper spray, or another self defense product to stop attacks.
In all of these places, you should be worried about identity theft in addition to the loss of your possessions. Never keep all of your forms of identification together. Instead, keep them in separate locations so that if one should be stolen, the thief does not have all of your forms of ID. Most of these important papers should be kept in a security safe in your home. Shred important papers when you're done with them, and learn about online methods of identity theft so that you can avoid them.
No matter where you are, your security should never be taken for granted. At any moment, a thief could break into your home or vehicle, or attack you in person. By taking these steps to minimize your risks, and carrying self defense products to help you fight back, you can protect your safety and your belongings from attack.

Although you may not realize it, realtors are a group facing particular occupational hazards when it comes to personal safety. If you are a realtor, your safety should be at the front of your mind. Your personal safety is worth a little preparation and the low cost of self defense products.
Realtors spend a lot of time in unknown locations alone. Plus, they can lured to such areas by those who pretend to be prospective buyers. When they arrive alone to a vacant house, expecting to meet someone who's interested in purchasing it, the prospective buyer(s) know that they have the perfect opportunity. Meeting large numbers of strangers is potentially the most dangerous aspect of a realtor's job.
Before leaving to show a house, meet the prospective buyers at your office, and introduce them to colleagues, if possible. Then leave their personal information and the address of the home you are showing them in a location that would be clearly visible to others in your office. Drive to the home in your own car; do not offer to carpool with the prospective buyers or meet them for the first time at the house.
Even if the prospective buyers look relatively normal, you never know what could happen when you get in the house. Once inside, casually mention that another realtor should be arriving shortly, even if it's untrue. This way they will know that another person will be there soon, and you won't be alone long.
Always have your cell phone turned on and nearby. You may also want to work out a code word with your office so that you can call if you need assistance. Avoid wearing provocative clothing or expensive jewelry when showing a home. All realtors should carry pepper spray, a personal alarm, or a stun gun to thwart these attacks. An important self defense device for real estate agents is a pepper spray pen. This disguised pen can be kept in your pocket or purse or attached to a clipboard. It will not arouse suspicion, but can be pulled out immediately if your "prospective buyer" tries to attack you.
Before showing the house for the first time, take your own tour to understand the neighborhood and the home's layout, paying special attention to the exits. Once in the home with a prospective buyer, position yourself so that your back is never turned, guiding them through the home in front of you. Always ask that a couple previewing a home together remain in the same room. During an open house event, always know how many people are inside at a given time.
You should keep your personal safety in mind not only when meeting clients, but also when advertising your services. Focus on your professional qualifications, not your personal information. Too many realtors advertise their home phone number or address and publish an attractive photo of themselves; these can make them vulnerable to attacks.
Too many realtors remain oblivious to the dangers associated with their chosen line of work. Being a realtor involves putting yourself in some potentially dangerous situations, and it's important to be prepared both in your actions and by carrying a self defense device. Remember that your safety is always more important than the commission on a big real estate deal.

If your home was broken into tonight, what would you do? Do you even know if your personal property is covered under your homeowners insurance policy? In the aftermath of a burglary, you'd probably call the police, who arrive hours later because they're too busy taking care of violent crimes to deal with theft and property crime. It is imperative that you take a proactive approach, both in preventing property crime and dealing with the aftermath.
You worked hard for your HDTV, your video game systems, and your jewelry. If you value these possessions, protect their value by documenting the items you own. Take pictures of your most expensive or prized possessions, noting the make, model, and serial number. Keep these photos, along with your receipts and proof of purchase, in a safe place. Ideally, you should also keep a second copy of this documentation somewhere outside of your home, in case of a fire or other large-scale loss. It is not a bad idea to have your most high-value items appraised; in fact, an appraisal may be required if you wish to have these items specifically included on your insurance policy. Documentation of what you have in your home is crucial when trying to recover its value from your insurance agency.
All photos of your belongings should be high resolution and in color. Record each object's size, or include a ruler in the photo. Be sure to take pictures of the full view of each object, as well as close-ups of any feature that would impact the value or aid in identification. By routinely photographing and documenting your purchases, you will have an up-to-date record of what you own in the event that you suffer a loss from a burglary or natural disaster. This information is crucial not only for insurance reimbursement, but also for police to track down your stolen goods. For example, such photographs can be distributed to local pawn shops in case the burglar tries to pawn your belongings.
While these methods are essential to recovering your stolen property, you can also prevent property crime from happening to you by taking a proactive approach in safeguarding your home. Install features such as outdoor lighting and security cameras to make your home a less attractive target. Loud alarms on doors and windows can scare away burglars who attempt to enter your home. These simple security devices are inexpensive and easy to implement.
In addition to inventorying your possessions, they should also be kept in a secure location, ideally in a safe. Smaller objects can be kept in disguised safes, such as those designed to look like an everyday household object or even those that look like a light switch on the wall. Even burglars who manage to make it inside will not find valuables hidden in such locations.
Remember, the best time to implement these security features is before something happens. Take a proactive approach to preventing property crime by recording your possessions and safeguarding them from potential burglaries.

Article Title: Crime and the Recession

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
It has long been noted that in a recession, certain categories of crime may rise. With the economy in rough shape, criminals are getting more desperate in their attempts to steal. When people lose everything, and their very survival is at risk, they may be tempted to break the law. In today's economy, in which millions of people have lost their jobs, their homes, or both, crime is expected to rise over the immediate future.
With round upon round of layoffs, more and more people are out of work. As their unemployment benefits dry up, they become less able to feed themselves and their family. As a result, they may be tempted towards property crime. Your new TV may be pawned for someone else's groceries. It is an unfortunate truth that when on the brink of despair, some will be lured towards theft as income during times of economic stress.
As the recession grows longer, those who have been out of jobs begin to lose hope. Why is hope so important to the crime rate? When people have hope for a brighter future, they hold on to their morals and values more tenaciously. During short-term recessions, it is easier to hold on to hope, continuing to seek assistance through legal channels rather than turning to criminal options.
When all hope is lost, people must get creative, finding new ways to earn money. Those that have nothing left to lose have little reason not to turn to property crime to pay the bills. Crime becomes justified as a means of survival. Those perpetuating such crimes may also be jealous of those who have more food, more clothes, more money, and the means to survive. Others justify committing such crimes by thinking of it as a noble cause, putting food on the table through any means necessary. Such actions may also be committed because they provide a sense of control over one's circumstances, and a false sense of the stability once provided by a job. As a means to generate money, committing crimes may also result in decreased feelings of helplessness.
Once this behavior becomes justified, it becomes easier and easier to commit crimes. Psychologists have found that those who begin with petty property crimes are at a greater risk of progressing into larger crimes. If the economy remains in a recession or continues to worsen, the crime rate is expected to get worse as well. Crimes may escalate in value, frequency, and the level of violence used.
How can such results of a recession be reduced? Studies have shown that when people have the resources to provide for their needs, they are less likely to turn to crime as a way to provide for their families or as a way to control their situation. One can only hope that such support systems will do enough head off any increase in the crime rate resulting from the economy.
Particularly if the economy continues to worsen, you must prepare your family to deal with the resulting increase in crimes, including violent crimes and property crimes. Be observant of what's going on around you. Remember that nothing you own is worth more than your life. Anything that is stolen from you can be replaced, and you should never physically confront someone who is in the process of stealing. Simple security devices, including security cameras and signage on the exterior home, will serve to turn away opportunistic criminals, particularly inexperienced thieves in search of an easy target. While you may be cutting back on your household budget, one area that you shouldn't cut back on is home security.

Stun guns are growing in popularity as means for self defense. Often chosen in place of pepper spray, knives, or guns, they offer a chance to seriously incapacitate an attacker without the long-term effects that may make purchasers wary of knives or guns. This relatively new technology can be confusing. Here are a few things to consider when purchasing a stun gun:
Stun guns are often confused with a "TASER" device, but in fact the names cannot be used interchangeably. The TASER fires a pair of barbed projectiles which use a wire to give the attacker a 50,000 volt shock. They can be used at a distance of up to 15 feet. In contrast, a stun gun must be pressed against the assailant's skin in order to work.
A stun gun uses an electrical current to disrupt the natural electrical currents in the attacker's body, rendering them unable to come after you. The effects will last at least ten minutes. Today, stun guns are specifically designed not to cause permanent damage. Although they are very effective at incapacitating your assailant in the short-term, you will not have to worry about the long-term repercussions of shooting or otherwise wounding an attacker. Though there are a few cases of people dying after being shocked by a stun gun, these deaths have been attributed to an underlying health problem which made the shock more harmful for them than for other people.
A stun gun may range up to 1 million volts. Most people think that this is extremely dangerous. After all, home outlets are usually 120 volts. Actually, the amps are what makes electricity dangerous; most home outlets are between 15 and 20 amps, while stun guns usually only use between 1 and 3 milliamps. Usually, anything from 60 milliamps or higher is considered fatal, meaning that regular stun guns, at 1-3 milliamps, are actually quite safe to use. The high voltage will quickly immobilize the attacker, while the low amperage will cause no serious injuries. There are many different voltages of stun gun available; generally, the higher voltage units will immobilize an attacker faster.
Stun guns typically have a very long life span. They can be used more than once before the battery needs to be replaced or recharged. Battery life is not a big issue with stun guns, because they are not meant to be frequently used. Most models use a simple household 9-volt battery to produce the required electric charge.
Before purchasing a stun gun, be sure to check the laws in your location. Purchasing, carrying, or using them may be governed by your state or local laws. In addition, it is always a good idea to seek out training in using this device so that you will know how to handle and use it safely.
Although you may have a mental image of what a stun gun should look like, they actually come in many forms, including those the size of pens to those the size of a large household flashlight. Your choice depends on your intended use; smaller, portable units are a good choice to carry with you, while the larger units may easily intimidate someone breaking into your home. Look for a model with disable pins, so that the stun gun cannot be used against you if the attacker manages to grab it from you.

Article Title: Museum Security Basics

Although occasional museum heists make front-page news, most small museums grapple with more routine, day-to-day security issues. Armed thieves with an eye on iconic masterpieces are not the only security risks faced by museums. While institutions such as the Smithsonian have large security forces, the smaller community museum may be underfunded, with little to no budget for security improvements. Luckily, there are several simple devices that can ensure that both the museum's collections and its employees and visitors are well protected.
The first step is to stop unwanted visitors from breaking in. Place security cameras (either dummy or real) near the entrances to your museum. Surveillance cameras should also be placed indoors near particularly valuable artifacts as a theft deterrent measure. Wireless cameras are ideal for museums looking for a cost-effective solution, because you'll avoid needing to drill into the walls or run wires. Dummy cameras have a proven psychological benefit, while surveillance cameras can catch perpetrators in action, helping your museum retrieve stolen artifacts and catch perpetrators after the fact.
Protect doors and windows with simple wireless door and window alarms, which can be installed in just minutes with no modifications to the existing structure. These types of alarms can also be used as personal alarms or 'panic buttons' for museum employees, and can be placed in convenient locations around the building, such as at the front desk or in the offices upstairs. In addition, they can be used on the openings of exhibit display cases. If a visitor tries to open the case, the alarm will sound. This may also be a good option if visitors frequently come near doors meant for employees only. Off-limits areas may also be protected using a Safety Beam, which sounds an alarm if a specified line is crossed. These motion-activated alarms are also an ideal choice for protecting your museum at night.
If you have valuable objects in your museum, consider effective security screening procedures for the entrance of the museum. A handheld metal detector can protect you from armed burglaries. If your museum has a collection of metal objects, similar security screening at the exits can ensure that small pieces do not walk out in someone's pocket. It is also a good idea to have a bag and coat check near the door to prevent opportunities for theft.
Museums should be worried not only about potential theft, but also about the safety of museum staff and visitors. Install plenty of safety lighting near the floors so that people can find their way around and to the exits if the lights go out. Don't forget about emergency kits placed in convenient locations. Your museum should have emergency supplies in areas that will be easily accessible during any emergency, such as a medical incident or a natural disaster.
If your museum can't afford a million-dollar security overhaul, don't despair. Even museums with small budgets can do a lot to prevent theft in the museum. For less than a hundred dollars, you can outfit your museum with simple security measures that will go a long way towards protecting your collection, your staff, and your visitors.
