    Article Title: The Shelf Life And Storage Of Pepper Spray

    Too many people who purchase pepper spray stow it away in convenient locations and then forget about it. It is crucial that you replace your pepper spray every few years, or it will lose effectiveness. Can you think of anything worse than pulling out your pepper spray in a self defense situation, only to find that it no longer works as it should? Pepper spray that was purchased five or more years ago should not be relied on to stop an attack. If you can't remember when you bought it, it is probably time for a replacement.
     
    Like any other aerosol spray product, the ingredients allowing the pepper spray to come out of the can in a fine mist break down over time. If you try to spray pepper spray that has gone too far past its shelf life, it may sputter out of the can rather than coming out in the solid, forceful stream that you are expecting. If too much of the aerosol propellant has leaked from the can, it may not spray at all. In other cases, it may not spray as far as usual. As a result, you may have to get closer to your attacker in order for the spray to reach them.
     
    A pepper spray's effectiveness resulting from a chemical compound known as Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) may also become reduced over time. A natural compound derived from hot peppers, there is some evidence that OC may become less effective over time, particularly if the canister has been stored in excessive sunlight. If the OC has degraded, the chemical potency may be reduced, meaning that the pepper spray will be less effective in taking your attacker down quickly. However, research has shown that as the pepper spray passes its expiration date, the propellant allowing the pepper spray to leave the can is more likely to become ineffective than the pepper spray itself.
     
    The average effective life of pepper spray is about 3 to 4 years. Most will have an expiration date stamped on the canister; take a look so that you can make a mental note of when it should be replaced. If your canister does not have an expiration date, most experts advise replacing it the next time you change your smoke alarm batteries, which should be done yearly. By replacing your pepper spray on a yearly schedule, you can be assured that it will work exactly as you expect when you need it.
     
    You can also test the effectiveness of the aerosol propellant in your can of pepper spray. Outdoors and standing upwind, spray a one second burst. Does it come out in a solid stream, or does it sputter? Once you replace your pepper spray, the old canister can be used for training and practice on an outdoor target. Be very careful not to spray yourself with the pepper spray when testing or training.
     
    Proper storage of your pepper spray can extend its shelf life. Always store it at room temperature. Extremes of either hot or cold can cause changes in the chemicals inside the canister. Very hot temperatures, such as those found inside your car on a summer day, can even cause the canister to burst.

    Article Title: Childproofing Basics

    *********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
     
    According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, about 2.5 million children are injured or killed every year by preventable dangers in their own homes. This statistic illustrates the importance of childproofing your home. Even if it seems unnecessary, taking a few simple steps to install childproof basics can prevent an unfortunate accident. As your baby grows, you'll find that they are able to get into much more trouble around the home, causing you to constantly improve your childproofing methods.
     
    First, check the basic home security measures that you should already be taking, even without a young child in the home. Have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and an emergency plan. Make sure the windows and doors lock and are protected by alarms. These simple steps are necessary to protect the whole family, not just small children, from harm.
     
    Now, consider the vantage point of a small child. You may be surprised at the dangers that exist near the floor. Sharp furniture corners, cords, and outlets may not even be noticed from an adult's height, but they pose a serious danger to toddlers. Secure all cords and other reachable items, and pad any sharp furniture corners, especially as your child learns to walk. Plastic covers are available to protect electrical outlets; these keep the outlets available when an adult needs to use them, while preventing a child from accidentally inserting a metal object into them.
     
    The areas most often in need of childproofing are the kitchen and bathroom. These are usually the rooms where chemicals and cleaning supplies are stored. Keep these products out of your child's reach, and protect all cabinets with child-safe locks. It is amazing how quickly a child can open a drawer or cupboard that is not locked. Even basic foods can be dangerous to young children, who may choke on foods that seem innocuous. Don't forget to protect children from the dangers of your stove and refrigerator. There are many gadgets designed to childproof specific areas or appliances in your home.
     
    Baby gates and other childproofing supplies should be used to block off unsafe areas, such as stairways. A gate can also be used on a temporary basis to keep children out of rooms that have not been childproofed. Be aware of places in your home that may be more dangerous than others. For example, keep young children away from a fireplace, or a workbench containing sharp tools, by blocking the area with child gates. If you have a pool, protect it with a pool alarm and a gate so that no one accidentally falls in.
     
    Being a parent is stressful, and it may seem like there is no end to your childproofing activities. Childproofing your home is a constant behavior, even if you install all of the childproofing gadgets you can find. It means being careful where you store sharp scissors, turning the handles of pots inward while cooking, and in general being aware of where your child is playing and what dangers exist. Still, childproofing gadgets are essential in order to prevent accidents in the home.

    Article Title: Six Things You do Everyday to Attract Burglars

    Did you know that most families actually take steps to make criminals feel welcome to enter their home? Though you may not realize it, many of the steps you take as part of your daily routine actually make you much more susceptible to burglaries. Here are six things that most people do everyday that invite burglars to target your home:
     
    1) Leaving a key under the mat. You may think that this keeps you safe if you're locked out of the home, but criminals know exactly where to look. If they want to break in to your home, the first places they will be checking are under the welcome mat, under flowerpots, and on top of the door frame. If you leave your spare key there, you're just asking them to come inside. If you feel that you must have a spare outside, invest in a combination safe so that not just anyone can use the key. There are devices designed just for this purpose.
     
    2) Turning off your lights when you leave. Though it saves energy, is it really worth leaving your home more attractive to burglars? Most burglars hope not to find anyone at home. When the lights are out, it's more likely that the homeowners are gone. Leave at least one light on at all times. Some experts even recommend a loud radio or a TV set on a timer so that anyone near the home will assume someone is inside.
     
    3) Leaving the door unlocked. What could be easier for a burglar? You should keep these not only locked, but also protected with alarms. Leaving a door or window unlocked, whether you're home or not, no matter the time of day, is simply the worst thing to do if you want to avoid a burglary.
     
    4) Only using the doorknob lock. If you don't use the deadbolt on your door, or worse yet, you don't even have one, you're not much more protected than if you had left your door completely unlocked. The truth is, doorknob locks make it easy for a burglar to kick in your door, because they don't extend into the door frame very far. A deadbolt, on the other hand, goes further into the door frame, and is much more secure.
     
    5) Leaving tools sitting around. The opportunistic burglar may not have their own set of burglary tools, but they will take advantage of that hammer you left outside. Got a ladder? If it's stored in the shed, any burglar could use it to break into a second story window, or even simply steal it. Keep them in your garage or in a locked shed instead.
     
    6) Plant trees and bushes all around your house. Though you may not realize it, this is actually very important to your home security. Though you may like the look of bushes planted right next to the house, these beautiful shrubs give plenty of hiding places for someone who's working to open your door or window and doesn't want to be spotted.
     
    Did you know that a burglary happens every 15 seconds? Billions of dollars are stolen each year from unsuspecting homeowners who simply leave their homes open to these thieves. Most burglars actually come unarmed, and most even enter through unlocked doors or windows. Reconsider your daily routine to determine whether you are unknowingly leaving your home open to burglaries.

    Article Title: How to Avoid Becoming a Road Rage Victim

    According to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, road rage and aggressive driving are two of the top concerns facing today's drivers. In today's fast-paced world, it is all too easy to become worked up if your commute is taking a little longer than expected. Even if you remain patient, there's no guarantee that everyone else behind the wheel will be driving in a courteous manner. Traffic jams make driving a tedious task, and can increase drivers' stress levels, resulting in road rage. If you drive today, it is nearly impossible to escape the consequences of enraged drivers on the road. How do you avoid becoming a road rage victim?
     
    First, understand the importance of your driving style. If you know you are a slower driver, keep to the right lane, to avoid agitating drivers who want to speed past you. Use your turn signals, and do not cut anyone off, even if it means missing your exit. Be aware of other drivers on the road, and do your best to interact with them in a positive manner, no matter how they are acting towards you, rather than doing something that will upset them further.
     
    Watch out for other drivers who may be driving in an unsafe manner. Expect the unexpected, and be prepared for other drivers to make mistakes. If you see someone driving in an unsafe or erratic manner, call 911 on your cell phone, rather than trying to stop them yourself. By alerting police to such drivers, you may be able to stop someone else from becoming the victim of a driver with road rage.
     
    Never confront agitated drivers or make eye contact with someone who's getting upset on the road. Even if you've been cut off, resist the urge to make any hand gestures at the driver, as you'll risk escalating the situation. If an enraged driver starts to follow you, remain calm. Change lanes to let them pass. If a driver refuses to go around you, and instead seems to be following you or looking for a confrontation, do not weave in and out of traffic in an attempt to lose them, even though this works in the movies. In real life, you risk causing an accident or making other drivers mad at you.
     
    If you are being followed, go with the flow of traffic, and head to a place where you feel safe. Call 911 on your cell phone, and don't stop unless you are in a well-lit location with lots of other people nearby. If the enraged driver rams your car or you must otherwise stop for any reason, be sure to have your pepper spray canister or stun gun ready. You never know what the other driver could be thinking. Do not leave your car to approach him; if anyone from the other car approaches you, neutralize the threat as soon as they are within the range of your self defense device. Do whatever is necessary to avoid a face-to-face contact with someone experiencing road rage.
     
    The majority of motorists are likely to experience the effects of road range at some point. This situation can be very dangerous, but it is important not to panic. While you're still on the road and in a populated area, you are still safe. Avoid further enraging drivers with road rage, and never become involved in a physical confrontation with them.

    Article Title: Stun Batons

    One of the latest self defense products to hit the market is the telescopic stun baton, This gadget has multiple useful functions and several advantages over other self defense products, many of which only have one function. Many stun gun batons also function as a flashlight, which is a must-have feature when trying to fend off an attacker in the dark. Some models also have an audible personal alarm, which can attract attention to yourself if you are confronted by an assailant or find yourself in a potentially dangerous situation.
     
    Stun batons are designed to work as well as a regular baton, if you do not wish to use the stun gun feature. They measure just about 12" when closed, and nearly two feet long when opened. With just a flick of your wrist, you'll have a full-length self defense baton ready for action. A baton can have a powerful psychological advantage, both in giving you a sense of confidence and in making your attacker think twice about choosing you as an easy target. You may never have to contact the attacker with the baton, or even turn on the stun feature, before he turns and runs from you.
     
    Fully extended, a baton is a good way to maintain your distance from the attacker. Unlike the traditional style of stun gun, you do not need to be close enough to press the stun gun to your attacker's body. Because it is at the end of a baton, you have nearly two feet of space in which to work. The advantage of keeping a safe distance cannot be over-emphasized. Remember, with a self defense baton you'll be able to reach the attacker before they can get their hands on you. It is always best to stay as far away from an attacker as possible, and a stun baton helps you do this.
     
    The stun feature of a stun baton is perhaps its most useful feature. Just contact the assailant with the end of your baton and press the stun feature. In mere seconds, your attacker will be writhing in pain on the ground. As soon as you turn on the stun gun, the crackle of electricity will make many potential assailants change their mind about attacking you.
     
    Many styles electrify not only at the far end of the baton, where the metal prongs are located, but also along the sides. Not only does this make it easier to aim at your attacker, but it also keeps the attacker from grabbing the baton out of your hands. If he even tries to take your stun baton, your attacker will get a jolt of electricity though his hands. A wrist strap and disabling pin are also useful features if you're worried that an attacker will try to take your stun baton.
     
    This innovative self defense product is a great tool for many situations. Its small size makes it easy to conceal while jogging. It is also the perfect size to carry in your purse. A telescopic baton can help you keep your distance from vicious dogs or dangerous humans alike.

    When it comes to your home, most people do not do enough to keep themselves safe. There are many excellent home security products on the market that can keep you safe at home. You can utilize a mix of these products to protect yourself from home invasions or other crimes. Many home security products are easy to install by yourself.
     
    Alarms are one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from criminal activity. Once the noises start, no criminal will want to stay near your home for fear of being caught. Many alarms are activated by windows or doors opening, or any movement in a specified area. These motion detectors can generally be deactivated with a remote control, so you don't have to worry about your own family setting them off every time they get up in the night.
     
    Alarms can be especially helpful during the night, providing an early warning that someone is entering your home. Some can even be placed at the end of your driveway, with motion detectors so that you know when someone is driving up to your home. These valuable seconds can give you time to react. Other alarms can be carried with you, and turned on when the need arises.
     
    Even if you don't install alarms, you can purchase separate signs that say you have an alarm system. These will make criminals think twice, and give you some of the benefit of an alarm system without actually needing to install them. A burglar will think twice if they think that an alarm will start blaring as soon as they break in.
     
    Dummy cameras placed outside your home are a great way to prevent people from vandalizing your home or trying to enter. Remember, they don't know it's not a real camera. These are less expensive than the real thing and require almost no maintenance, yet you get the benefit of camera protection. These should be placed anywhere you would place a real camera, like the eaves of your home, above your garage door, or near your front door. Don't forget to protect the back door of your home, too.
     
    Safety lights are another feature to protect the exterior of your home. Most are motion activated, so they will turn on when someone approaches. This can startle the person thinking about attacking your home, and often make them think twice. It is much harder to break and enter when it's being done in the light than when it's done in the middle of the night. With the chance that someone might see them because of the light, a criminal is much less likely to attack your home. Safety lights, like night lights, inside the home can make it easier and safer for your family to get around at night. Plus, you'll be able to see what's going on without the full light being on.
     
    Besides products to protect your home from an invasion, don't forget about pepper spray, stun guns, or other methods of protecting yourself and your family if someone should decide to break in despite your security devices.

    Article Title: What Does a Neighborhood Watch Do?

    *********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
     
    Every law enforcement agency in the country encourages and supports neighborhood watch programs as a way to reduce crime. By stopping crime before it takes place, such programs make their jobs a lot easier. Neighborhood Watch groups give you the means to take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to neighborhood safety, making an effort to stop crimes before they are committed rather than reacting to them once they've already occurred. One of the best ways for homeowners to collectively improve their home security is by organizing a neighborhood watch.
     
    Many areas with Neighborhood Watch groups also put up signs around the neighborhood advertising this fact, which can further reduce the crime rate by letting potential criminals know they are being watched. If the occupants of your neighborhood tend to keep to themselves, they may not notice if a burglar is prowling around your home. The separation between neighbors provides the anonymity necessary for burglars to break in without people asking questions. The more visible your group is, the more effective it will be. Neighborhood crime prevention associations won't cost you a dime, and can lower the crime rate in your area.
     
    Each neighborhood watch group determines the goal and direction of its own activities. A neighborhood watch is based on a commitment to keeping an eye on your neighbor's property and reporting suspicious people or activities to the police, but it can be much more than this. For example, the group can conduct educational programs, meet to discuss local issues, or bring in security experts to discuss ways to improve safety in the neighborhood. These programs are also effective tools for dealing with non-criminal behaviors that might attract criminals or create discord between neighbors, such as barking dogs, loud parties, rundown properties, or abandoned vehicles.
     
    Being a member of a neighborhood watch group does not require you to impose street justice. In fact, watch groups are not a form of vigilantism. Neighborhood Watch programs should be seen as a crime prevention method, not as a license to chase the bad guys, stop a crime in progress, or hunt down the suspects. Being an active member of a Neighborhood Crime Watch community means that law enforcement and your neighbors will keep an eye on your property, and you will do the same for your neighbors. By yourself, you can't be home all the time, but there is almost never a time that the entire neighborhood is empty. If you see something suspicious, call 911. Do not rush outside to confront a potential burglar in the act. Don't be afraid to call the police if you think something is going on, whether you are a Neighborhood Watch member or not.
     
    By joining or starting a Neighborhood Watch program, you will become better informed about what's going on in your neighborhood. Often, neighborhood watch members are the first to know about crimes occurring in or near the neighborhood. Start an email list so you can keep neighbors updated on recent activities. You can use this list to announce meetings, warn of recent crimes, or spread the description of suspicious people who have been lurking around the neighborhood. Communication is key for the success of any neighborhood watch program.

    Article Title: Great Gifts to Keep Your Friends and Family Safe

    Did you know that self defense devices make great gifts? What better way to show your love and appreciation than keeping your loved ones safe all year long? Self defense products make thoughtful and useful gifts – much more effective than the usual box of chocolates or bottle of body wash they may have found in their gift in years past. They can begin carrying these devices right away. Think of all the presents you've bought over the years. Do the recipients still have them and use them? Chances are good that they are long gone. A good self defense device will be carried by the recipient every day and appreciated even (or perhaps especially) if it is never used.
     
    This year, protect the whole family with keychain self defense devices. Personal alarms and canisters of pepper spray make great gifts for everyone. They require no training, and can even be used effectively by teens and even younger members of your family. No matter your family's lifestyle, your family members may occasionally find themselves in areas where they feel unsafe. Plus, always keep in mind that violent confrontations can happen anywhere, at anytime. Even if your son or daughter is never out alone past dark, they can be assaulted just walking around the mall or to their car or bus stop.
     
    Show your concern for your family this year by preparing them for the unexpected. Although it may feel unromantic to get your husband or wife a stun gun or TASER device, doing so could save their life, and what is more romantic than showing how concerned you are for their wellbeing?
     
    When choosing self defense products as gifts, you aren't restricted to plain black models. Today, many self defense products also come in camo, pink, red, and other fun colors to match the recipient's personality. Almost all personal protection products on the market today also come in versions designed especially for women. Some are shaped like a tube or lipstick or a cell phone, while others come in colorful "designer" shades. Choose a pepper spray pen for those who work in the office, or pepper spray jogging weights for those who love to run. Giving the gift of self defense doesn't have to be boring or impersonal.
     
    For kids, choose a panda-shaped personal alarm, a nonthreatening way to help your children protect themselves from dangers, whether they are simply wandering off in a store or have been grabbed by a kidnapper. If they stray too far from you, the alarm will start beeping, alerting you to the problem and allowing you to find your child before they fall into harm's way.
     
    If you're looking at self defense products as gifts, rest assured, they are not very expensive. Pepper spray canisters and personal alarms can be found for less than $20. A top of the line stun gun will rarely cost over $100. Giving the gift of self defense is a relatively inexpensive way to show how much you care. Can you imagine giving the gift that ens up saving a loved one's life someday?

    While most people think that they are safe from violent crimes, unfortunately this is not always the case today. These crimes happen to "other people," right? Wrong! You can't go through life thinking that such events will never happen to you, because the unfortunate reality is that they might. In fact, every second of the day a violent crime is happening somewhere in the United States.
     
    There are, of course, a few things that you can do to prepare without having to carry anything special. Keep your doors and windows locked, and don't walk anywhere alone at night. However, such strategies may not be enough to prevent an assault. You never know when or where it could happen, so you need to be prepared in additional ways rather than avoiding situations that could lead to an attack.
     
    Another method that you may like to think would work in a self defense situation is using martial arts moves. However, such moves will likely pale in comparison to the attacker's skills, sheer size, and weapons. Remember that your attacker came prepared to fight; you did not. Fighting against an attacker using your own strength should only be used as a last resort when you are caught unprepared. If any self defense weapons are available, you should use them first. Even if other weapon-like objects such as car keys or sticks are available, you should use them before resorting to kicking, punching, or other physical moves. These just don't have a very good chance of working against a determined assailant, and you are likely to get yourself hurt this way.
     
    A much better way to defend yourself rather than relying on prevention tactics or physical moves alone is to carry a self defense weapon with you. Now, this doesn't have to mean a firearm or a knife. You can choose from a whole range of non-lethal self defense weapons, most small enough to fit into a jacket pocket or handbag. The most popular types include stun guns, TASER devices, pepper spray, and personal alarms. None of these should cause permanent harm to your attacker, but will stop them in their tracks and call attention to your situation.
     
    You may think that it would be easier to simply yell and kick if you're being attacked, but actually it is very easy to use any of the self defense devices mentioned here. In fact, they require no skill to use, unlike handguns or other devices. Simply press the button and aim the device at your attacker.
     
    When considering your own safety, it is very important not to rely on others to protect you. If someone tries to attack you, what are the chances that there is a police officer or security guard within eyesight or hearing range? It's probably not very likely. After all, most attackers will choose to attack you when you appear vulnerable to such an attack, because they don't want to be caught. You'll be essentially on your own to call others' attention to the attack and stop your attacker from continuing. Carrying self defense products is a wise investment for your own safety.

    How did a common household spice, the pepper, become used as a weapon for self defense? Pepper spray in its current form is a relatively new invention, but actually the use of peppers to blind one's enemies dates back to ancient China, Japan, and India, where cayenne peppers were used to temporarily immobilize one's attackers. Because this method does not cause permanent harm, it was seen as an acceptable weapon for self defense by martial arts societies. In Japan, the police were known to use a Metsubishi box, which was simply a box containing chili powder that would be blown into the eyes of a person convicted of a crime.
     
    Without the development of aerosol spray cans, modern pepper spray would not be possible. These ancient uses for hot peppers against criminals or attackers did not include an effective means for directing the pepper element at the person. With aerosol spray cans, first used during the 1940's, modern pepper sprays became possible.
     
    The first modern pepper sprays were developed during the 1960's and early 1970's. While ancient uses of pepper relied on the whole pepper, modern scientists isolated the capsaicin in these peppers. In 1961, Japanese chemists Inagaki and Kosuge isolated these compounds. In modern times, the first pepper spray cans contained oleoresin capsicum, a powder from Capsicum peppers. This pepper substance is what gives peppers their hotness.
     
    Modern pepper sprays use these isolated pepper compounds suspended in a liquid base, which is then pressurized and placed in an aerosol spray can. The first successful aerosol pepper spray was produced in 1969, with the spray packaged into the base of a small flashlight. These first sprays were developed for use by military and police forces as well as an animal repellant. It was often used by hunters and others who venture into the wilderness often, in case of wild animal attacks.
     
    In the 1980's, the US Postal Service began using pepper spray as a deterrent for dog attacks. The FBI officially endorsed it as a chemical agent in 1987. Both the FBI and the NYPD spearheaded the use of pepper spray by law enforcement by adding it to their arsenal in 1991. The use of pepper spray against humans increased in the early 1990s as more police forces added it to their standard arsenal. At this time, its use began to spread a self defense device which could be carried in a car, purse, or pocket. Today, pepper spray is marketed in a variety of small canisters that can be carried for use against an attacker. Nearly all law enforcement agencies carry pepper spray for use as a non-lethal weapon.
     
    Although the first compound to be used in pepper spray, oleoresin capsicum (OC) is still used in many formulas, scientists have also begun developing chemicals that are not directly derived from extracts of hot pepper plants, including Chloracetophenone (CN) and Orthochlorobenzalmalonitrile (CS). These new chemicals are often hotter than the OC compound, but most pepper sprays use a combination of two or three different chemicals, as not everyone responds to all three in the same way.

    It has long been known that driving a taxi comes with a high degree of risk. Taxi drivers risk their own safety to drive strangers around, and in doing so, fall victim to a wide range of crimes. The motive for crimes against taxi drivers is almost always money. If you or someone you know drives a taxi for a living, make sure that the following safety rules are followed to minimize the chance of becoming the next victim of violent crime.
     
    Know your emergency procedures - Every cab company has a set of rules for dealing with emergencies, from car trouble to a carjacking. Make sure that you the rules before you need to use them. Always carry a spare key, along with standard car emergency supplies.
     
    Rely on the radio - Your radio is your lifeline. If you ever feel threatened, use it to call for help. Talking to the dispatcher while a suspicious passenger is in your car can be a key strategy to avoiding assault, because your passenger will know that you can alert others to the situation. If you are ever robbed, let you dispatcher know right away.
     
    Keep doors and windows locked - Always keep your doors locked and your windows rolled up. Otherwise, you can be taken by surprise, especially if you're distracted by a map or passenger.
     
    Be aware of your surroundings - Always know where you are. Avoid following the directions of a passenger if you feel you may become disoriented or lost. Know the city, and learn the best routes. Study the map to avoid disputes between you and your passenger, who may feel that you're trying to run the meter up by taking the long way. Know the areas that are considered "bad," and be particularly mindful of customers traveling to or from these areas. Never drive into dark alleys, which only invites the passenger to rob or assault you while no one is looking.
     
    Be aware of your passengers - Make eye contact with each customer as you pick them up. As you do so, make a mental image, in case you have to identify them later. As you greet each passenger, assess their body language and risk factor. Trust your instincts. However, never underestimate anyone, even weak or elderly passengers. Remember that you are driving around with a stranger in your car. Pay attention to their movements, even if they seem safe. Take extra precautions at night, because these are the most dangerous times for a taxi driver.
     
    Never carry more passengers than the number of available seat belts. If you only have one passenger, do not allow them to sit directly behind you. Otherwise, you will be unable to watch their actions. Instead, ask them to sit on the opposite side of the car.
     
    Do not be argumentative - Avoid upsetting your customers or losing your composure. If they insist that they know the best route, and you know that the streets they ask you to follow are safe, use their directions. If they refuse to pay, cannot pay, or are being disruptive, keep a cool head. By threatening them, you might cause them to escalate the situation to a physical assault. No fare is worth physical injury.
     
    Do not flash money or jewelry - If your customer tries to pay with large bills, refuse or ask them to get change somewhere else. Never tell customers that you are nearing the end of your shift, or they will assume that you are carrying a lot of cash from earlier fares. Make it a routine to avoid wearing expensive jewelry while on the job.
     
    Do not resist a robbery - If you are being robbed by an armed passenger, give them what they ask for. Your life is not worth arguing over money or your car. Stay alive to work another day. However, if your life depends on it, it is crucial that you have some means to defend yourself. Many taxi drivers do carry pepper spray, stun guns, or a firearm to deal with such situations.

    Article Title: TASER Devices For Civilian Self Defense and Law Enforcement Agencies

    Though TASER devices and stun guns are now a common sight for self defense use, they were restricted to law enforcement use until just a few decades ago. In fact, though these devices are quite popular today, they were rarely seen as self-defense products carried by consumers until the 1990s. Though today many models are developed specifically for civilian use, there are still some TASER models designed specifically for use by law enforcement agencies and the military.
     
    The first stun guns were developed specifically for law enforcement, not civilian, use. Weaker than today's versions, the electrically charged devices of the 1940s through the 1970s that preceded today's more popular stun guns and TASER models delivered a mild electrical shock. Many early devices were designed for use by postmen for the control of dogs, and were then adopted by scattered police departments for the purpose of controlling prisoners or preventing riots. The first modern stun guns were developed in the early 1970s with the high voltage and low amperage which makes today's TASER devices and stun guns so effective, yet still unlikely to cause permanent injury.
     
    The first TASER devices were officially classified as a firearm in 1976, making them difficult for civilians to carry for self defense due to the legalities of carrying a firearm, though they began to grow quite popular with law enforcement agencies. By the end of the 1970s, newly developed TASER models could be carried by consumers in most states as self-defense products, because they used a different method to propel the electrically-charged probes, and thus were no longer classified as firearms.
     
    Today, the most popular TASER models meant for professional use are the TASER X26 and the TASER M26. For civilian use, the TASER C2 is the most popular model, though there are other options. The newly released M-series is destined to become the most popular TASER device yet. All TASER devices work by shooting electrically charged probes, up to 15 feet away for civilian models, and 35 feet for those designed for law enforcement or military use.
     
    All TASER devices, whether for professional or civilian use, have replaceable cartridges containing compressed nitrogen to launch the probes when the TASER device is activated. Once it hits the target, the TASER device's probe will prevent voluntary muscle control. Today, all TASER cartridges also contain a unique Anti-Felon Identification, or AFID, tag. These small confetti-like pieces are also expelled by the nitrogen cartridge, and they identify the serial number of the cartridge so that the owner of the TASER device can be identified. If you miss or if multiple people are attacking you at once, TASER devices also double as stun guns to be pressed against the assailant.
     
    The TASER C2 or M-Series, currently the most popular civilian TASER models, make a great choice if you're looking for a powerful self defense device. The line of non-lethal TASER devices is also carried by law enforcement agencies around the world as an alternative to using a firearm. It allows the diffusing of a potentially dangerous situation from several feet away, allowing you to keep a safer distance from any assailant. Plus, there is no worry about permanent injury or death, as would be likely to occur if a firearm was used instead. The TASER models are a great option when determining your self defense strategy.

    Article Title: The Exciting Hobby of Metal Detecting

    Metal Detecting is an exciting hobby that offers the opportunity to discover buried treasures. Using ground search metal detectors to find coins buried underground can actually be quite profitable. Coins from decades or even centuries ago could be hidden under just a few inches of soil. It is very popular to use a metal detector at a beach or park, where visitors may have dropped jewelry while playing, or on battlefields from centuries past, where you may find war relics, buttons, and a whole range of other artifacts. You might even be able to find a valuable treasure in your own backyard!
     
    If you want to participate in this hobby, the first step is buying a metal detector. Sophisticated metal detectors come in styles designed for hobby, prospecting, or security use. Every model currently on the market is much more powerful than the metal detectors of years past. With long lists of features and a wide variety of styles, buying a metal detector in today's market is no easy task. Choosing the most reliable metal detector is crucial for success in metal detecting. An LCD screen can help you determine whether your find is worth digging up, or just rusty scrap metal. In fact, some of the more sophisticated models will even display the possible object, so that you can tell if you've found a watch or an antique coin even before you start digging.
     
    It helps if you know what type of objects you want to find, although the highest quality metal detectors have depth or sensitivity adjusters so that you can use the metal detector for a wide range of applications. If you plan to use your detector in shallow water, you may want a waterproof model, although most metal detectors can be used with water-resistant coils for everyday metal detecting. While many are good all-around metal detectors, others are designed specifically for gold, coins, underwater searching, or other uses, and use a specific frequency tailored to finding those types of objects.
     
    Both size and weight are important considerations when purchasing a metal detector. The size of the search coil on the end of the detector will determine how much ground you're able to cover in a single pass. For example, the 6.5" by 9" searchcoil on the Garrett CSI250 covers much more ground than conventional searchcoils, which may measure just 6" in diameter. The overall weight of the device is also important, because it affects how far and how long you are able to carry the metal detector comfortably.
     
    Garrett Metal Detectors are one of the most popular brands, known for simplicity of operation and accuracy. Garrett detectors can be used to find anything from war relics to coins and even the tiniest piece of jewelry buried underground. With today's newest metal detecting technologies, it is even possible to search previously searched areas to find metal objects that were missed with older metal detectors. There could still be something good left behind. Even a novice has the potential to find enough relics, rare coins, or lost jewelry to recover the cost of the metal detector in no time.

    Article Title: The Difference Between a Stun Gun and a TASER®

    Both TASER® devices and stun guns are non-lethal methods of self defense. TASER and stun guns both work on the same principle, using high voltage but low-amperage electricity to immobilize an attacker. The electrical charge sent into the attacker interrupts the body's natural electric rhythms, rendering them unable to move. The effects typically last from ten to fifteen minutes, giving you plenty of time to get away. Although you may think that a stun gun and a TASER are the same thing, and in fact the terms are often used interchangeably, they are actually two separate devices. TASER refers to a brand name, while 'stun gun' refers to a category of self defense devices.
     
    TASER technology, which was developed during the 1960s and 1970s, uses a special cartridge of nitrogen gas to shoot a pair of barbed projectiles at the assailant. These projectiles can fly through the air up to fifteen feet away. A pair of wires connects them to the handheld TASER device, which sends a 50,000 volt shock into the attacker. This shock can go through thick clothing or a bullet-proof vest; the projectiles do not need to strike skin in order to work. After the Nitrogen cartridge has been used to propel the projectiles, most newer TASER can still be used close-up, in the same way as a stun gun is used.
     
    Stun guns, unlike TASER, do not fire anything at the attacker. Instead, they must come in direct contact with the person. These handheld units send a jolt of anywhere from 50,000 to a million volts through the assailant's body upon contact. You will need to be much closer to the assailant than if you were using a TASERr device, but they often deliver a higher voltage. Although stun guns usually include two prongs, with sparks going between the two prongs, this feature is mainly to deter attackers without actually having to use the device on them. The actual power comes from the ends of the two prongs.
     
    The biggest difference between the use of a TASER and the use of a stun gun is that the stun gun must be used in close range with the attacker, while the TASER allows for greater distance. Plus, a stun gun can be used repeatedly, while a TASER cannot be shot twice due to its reliance on single-use nitrogen cartridges.
     
    For most consumers, the deciding factor may be cost. A TASER can cost several hundred dollars, and each use requires a new cartridge. On the other hand, stun guns can be purchased for less than a hundred dollars, and use regular batteries. Although TASER are slightly more effective than stun guns, they are also quite expensive for the average consumer.
     
    If you plan to carry the device with you, consider that TASER are usually the size of a regular handgun, while stun guns come in a variety of sizes, some much smaller.
     
    When it comes to legal issues, in most cases stun guns and TASER are treated the same. They are legal most places in the United States, although you should check with your local police department for state or local restrictions on purchasing, carrying, or using such devices.

    Lipstick pepper spray is one of the newest disguised types of pepper spray, and it has been touted as one of best styles of defense spray for women. Nearly every woman carries lipstick in her pocket or purse, where it is easily available. Why not carry pepper spray lipstick next to your tube of lipstick or lip gloss? No one will ever expect that your tube of lipstick is actually a canister of powerful pepper spray.
     
    Here's one scenario where lipstick spray can protect you: You're out on a date. Everything is going fine. Dinner was great, and now you're on your way back home. Your date, however, has other plans. Maybe his hands are getting a little frisky, or you sense that his demeanor has changed. Without tipping him off to anything, you slide your lipstick pepper spray out of your bag. It will be no surprise to your date that you are using lipstick. Little does he know that you are now armed with a personal protection device. You can pretend to reapply your lipstick, while preparing to defend yourself. Having the element of surprise makes it much easier to aim the spray directly in your attacker's face.
     
    Get yourself out of a tricky situation quickly with lipstick pepper spray. Lipstick spray will give you the ability to flee the situation before it escalates, and perhaps even before your attacker has a chance to lay his hands on you. Everyone has to be aware of violent crimes, especially women. Most rapists and other criminals look like anyone else you might meet during your day. If you're not prepared to fight them off, you risk becoming a statistic. Self defense spray contained in a lipstick canister can show your date that 'no' means 'NO!', but date rape is not the only use for this effective device. Lipstick pepper spray is versatile, and can be used in nearly any uncomfortable or dangerous situation. The spray contained in the lipstick canister can even work against threatening animals.
     
    Lipstick pepper spray is the perfect concealed self defense product for women. Its small, compact size and nonthreatening appearance make it easy to carry with you anywhere. Most lipstick spray canisters contain between five and 20 sprays of pepper spray, each of which has a range of up to 10 feet and will put your attacker down for plenty of time for to get away safely. Pepper spray lipstick will stop anyone in their tracks, no matter their size.
     
    Ladies should never leave home without it, whether on a date, out with friends, or even going to the grocery store. You never know when you could be attacked, and the small size of this disguised defense spray canister makes it easy to take with you anywhere, even in the smallest evening bag. Make carrying it in your bag as automatic as carrying your wallet or your keys.
     
    If you watch the news, then you've probably been struck by the number of women who are beaten, raped, or abducted. If you're worried about how dangerous our world has become, you have options. Lipstick pepper spray is one of the most effective ways for women to protect themselves against these dangers of modern life.

    Article Title: Teaching Your Children About Self Defense

    Teaching your children about self defense can be an awkward or troubling conversation, but it's one that must be started at a young age. Although you want to protect your young children from the violence that exists in the world, it's important to remember that it does exist, and it's your duty to protect yourself and your family from attacks.
     
    Young children should be taught their name, their parents' names, their address, and their phone number, in case an emergency arises. However, you must also balance this with cautioning them not to talk to strangers or give out this information in non-emergency situations.
     
    One of the most important self defense principles you'll want to teach young children is who to trust and who to be suspicious of. This goes beyond "don't talk to strangers" and always trusting policeman, although that's a good start for young children. Personal boundaries are very important. They'll need to know what kinds of people to avoid and who they can trust in an emergency situation. Although most young children are taught to obey their parents and other adults, teach them that adults who make them feel scared do not need to be obeyed.
     
    Around the home, you can teach your children to keep their doors and windows locked and not open the door for strangers. You may also want to place personal alarms around the home in case there is trouble. However, be careful not to frighten your young children by describing the attacks these actions could prevent. It's important for them to know that their safety is important, but they must also feel protected and safe, especially in their own home.
     
    Once your children are older and have been exposed to stories of violent attacks in the media and elsewhere, you may find it helpful to discuss these issues in further detail with them. If your children go out alone to friends' houses, shopping, or elsewhere, think about providing them with a cell phone, personal alarm, or pepper spray canister so that they can feel prepared. If you're not ready to buy a regular cell phone, consider a children's cell phone with a few preprogrammed numbers, or an out-of-service cell phone, which will always be able to call 911. This may also give you peace of mind. Ground rules like curfews may also help your older children and teens stay away from dangerous situations.
     
    Teach your children to be confident in the world. Martial arts training can help with this, especially if they are faced with bullies in school. However, you may want to stop short of teaching your children to fight violence with violence. Other strategies, like finding an adult or yelling loudly, may make more sense when your children encounter a violent person. Role playing various situations can also help to teach your children about self defense strategies that are appropriate for them.
     
    It's never too early to start talking to your children about self defense and safety topics. Besides self defense, you should also incorporate discussions about natural disasters and other emergencies. When dealing with children, it's important to balance such information with helping them to feel safe in the world around them. You don't need to divulge too much information about the scariness of the world, but they do need to be aware that bad people exist.

    Article Title: Hidden Cameras and Your Children

    Nanny cameras are a type of hidden camera designed to help parents see what goes on in their home while they're not there. If you ever leave your child with a babysitter or nanny, you need a hidden camera. More and more parents are turning to these tiny cameras to watch not only the children, but also their caregivers. Whether you've hired a relative stranger to care for your children, or they are being cared for by a trusted family member, it is crucial that you know exactly what goes on in your home.
     
    Concerned parents can now monitor their homes from any location using small wireless cameras that can be hidden anywhere in the home. Hidden cameras come in many different shapes and sizes; gone are the days of bulky VHS recorders. Wireless cameras can be placed virtually anywhere, without the need to run wires under rugs or through walls. Because of its versatility, a nanny camera can be placed almost anywhere where it will not be noticed. Many are also able to pick up voices and other noises in the home, in addition to the video monitor. Parents can have peace of mind by checking in on their child's safety via an internet connection.
     
    Recent news coverage has drawn parents' attention to the growing problem of sexual and physical abuse towards children. If you routinely leave your child at home, this abuse could be ongoing under your own nose without you realizing it. Before hidden cameras were invented, it could have taken years for such abuse to be uncovered. Young children may not be able to accurately relay the events of the day, while older kids could be getting into their own trouble. Even if your children are old enough to be left at home alone for short periods of time, these "latchkey kids" still need the watchful eye of a nanny cam.
     
    At one point in time, sophisticated security and surveillance equipment was mainly the domain of private investigators. Today, anyone can purchase and use these cameras. Because they're wireless, you don't even need any special skills to set them up around your home. "Nanny cams" allow you to watch babysitters, housesitters, housecleaners, cheating spouses, burglars, or anyone else who is in your home while you are away. There are also many other ways your wireless hidden camera can help you in the home. Use it to watch a new puppy, a sleeping baby, or repairmen doing work in your home, whether you're out of the house or simply in another room. Many parents use hidden cameras to watch a group of preschoolers playing together, or a baby sleeping soundly, without worrying about disturbing them.
     
    A camera in the home will not only let you know what is going on, but provide visual eyewitness account of who's doing it, so there is a far greater chance of the perpetrator being caught, whether you're worried about nannies hitting your kids or your teenager having parties while you're away. A quality hidden camera will always show you what the REAL story is when you're not there.

    There are many misconceptions around the concept of self defense. Many people worry that if they fight back against an attacker, for example by using pepper spray or a stun gun, that they will be charged with a crime. In fact, as long as you do not use excessive force, defending yourself is perfectly legal.
     
    Self defense encompasses a broad range of tactics, including simple strategies to avoid physical altercations, physical moves, the use of nonlethal weapons, and the use of knives and guns. Nearly everyone asked to define the term "self defense" gives a different answer. Self defense can include the use of non-lethal weapons, but it should be done using appropriate tactics to avoid or mitigate a physical altercation whenever possible. If a confrontation is unavoidable, avoid lethal injuries.
     
    Stun guns and pepper spray make ideal choices for self defense because they are non-lethal, easy to carry, and easy methods to use for those who are not experienced in self defense tactics. Guns and knives make an ineffective choice for self defense by many people because they don't know how to use them correctly and may become too afraid to use it when the time comes. There is also the danger of the attacker using their weapon against them, while this danger is very low with stun guns or pepper spray.
     
    Some people are taught that by fighting back and defending themselves effectively, they are no better than the mugger or attacker. This is simply not the case! Fighting back is a survival strategy that may become necessary if you find yourself in a dangerous situation. The very premise of self defense is that you are not the instigator, you are merely trying to protect yourself.
     
    When you find yourself in a self defense situation, your goal should be to disable your attacker in as quick a manner as possible so that you can get away. Spray them in the eyes with pepper spray or give them a jolt of electricity from your stun gun, and don't wait around to see the results. Both pepper spray and stun guns give you a few minutes to get away after your attacker is disabled. Do not try to continue attacking after your attacker is down. Both methods are non-lethal, and will not cause permanent harm. This can give peace of mind to anyone who is worried about hurting someone who attacks them, even though it is done in self-defense.
     
    If you are attacked, do not worry about getting in trouble for fighting back. You are completely within your rights to physically fight back, or use pepper spray or stun guns, as long as those are legal in your jurisdiction. If someone assaults you or begins attacking you, fight back. Self defense cannot be prosecuted as assault or battery. If you are not being physically attacked, do your best to get away from the situation. You cannot use your pepper spray or stun gun in self defense until you are actually being attacked, but your best course of action is to avoid being attacked in the first place.

    Article Title: What is Most Often Stolen During a Residential Burglary

    If you're trying to protect your belongings from theft, you may end up wondering what's most important to protect. Which items are at the biggest risk of being stolen during a home invasion? Most burglars try and get in and out of the home as quickly as possible. While there are occasional news stories of an entire home being ransacked and emptied by brazen thieves, it is much more common that a burglar will steal anything of obvious value that can be carted out in under ten minutes.
     
    Most burglars are opportunists. Once they break into your home, they will steal anything in plain sight with obvious value. Not a lot of planning typically goes into these burglaries; the object is to steal as many valuable items as possible, in as little time as possible. The objects most often stolen during a home burglary are those that are small and easily converted into cash. Jewelry boxes and piggy banks or jars of coins are common targets because they can be converted to cash easily, and are kept in the same location in many homes. If you leave your credit cards, checkbooks, or guns unprotected, you can expect them to be stolen as well. If you have expensive jewelry, guns, and other belongings, placing them in a diversion safe is an easy way to protect them from these burglars, who want to be in and out of your home as quickly as possible, yet still have them easily accessible for those in your household who know where to look.
     
    Prowlers and professional thieves may use more sophisticated tools to break into your home, and may already have an idea of what you own. They are often more comfortable sticking around for a longer period of time, and are the ones most likely to make a mess of your home. If the thief decides to spend more than a minute or two in your home, they are likely to target your electronics. Gaming systems and other expensive belongings that are still relatively portable make easy targets for thieves looking to make some quick cash by stealing your belongings. Although your new HDTV may be a target, if it is too large you may find that it has been smashed by the burglar, rather than stolen, because cannot be taken quickly.
     
    The fact is, every modern home has something of value for burglars. While you can and certainly should hide small objects, such as heirloom jewelry, it is impossible to keep a thief from stealing your electronics once they get inside your home. A far more effective strategy is to keep them from entering your home in the first place and limit any potential time inside the home. Devices such as door and window locks and security cameras can make thieves much less likely to enter the home. Once inside, loud alarms on every potential entry point will make them think twice about taking the time to make off with your belongings. As soon as they hear the alarm blaring, most criminals will simply turn the other way and run, since they won't want to be caught inside your home.

    Over the past few years, statistics have shown that car theft is becoming more and more of a problem in the United States. Whether your car is parked in your driveway, on the street, or in a parking lot, it could be at risk. Each year, nearly a million cars, trucks, and other vehicles are stolen. What makes your car easy to steal, and what can you do about it?
     
    Car theft statistics may surprise you. Statistically speaking, most car thefts do not involve expensive or exotic cars taken for joyrides. More thieves target vehicles that they can steal quickly, with an intent to resell or strip down the vehicle. In addition to joyriders and resellers, your car may be stolen by those looking for transportation, perhaps in order to commit other crimes. This is one of the major reasons why it is so important to report a car theft to the police as soon as it happens.
     
    The most commonly stolen vehicles are not sport and luxury cars, although they are certainly popular targets. Perhaps surprisingly, all of the top five most frequently stolen vehicles are older than 2000. They include nearly every major make, including Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chevrolet, and Acura. Only two cars on the top ten list were made since 2000- the 2004 Dodge Ram, coming in at number 7, and number 10, the 2007 Toyota Corolla. What can these statistics teach you? For one, if you think you're safe from car thieves because you drive an older import car, you're not.
     
    The top spot is taken by the 1995 Honda Civic, followed by the 1991 Honda Accord. Both cars were top sellers for many years, and there are many of them out there. In addition, many of the parts are interchangeable across several years, making them popular targets for dismantlers. In general, imports fare much better than domestics.
     
    With such a wide range of stolen cars, how can you prevent it? By far the number one car theft prevention tactic is to never leave your car unlocked, and never leave your key in the car. Nearly a quarter of all stolen cars are stolen with the owner's keys. Even if you're just running inside for a second, that is all a thief needs. This is especially true if your car is on the Top 10 list- these are known by car thieves as being particularly easy to steal because of their design. Thieves are always looking for the easiest target, so avoid giving them an easy way to gain access into your car.
     
    With the current economic climate, as many people find themselves in a worse financial situation, the number of people who are tempted to steal a car will likely increase. You should be aware of this increased threat, and take steps to prevent it.
     
    If you're worried about your car getting stolen, you may want to invest in OnStar, Lojack, or other systems for tracking stolen cars. However, there are certainly other options that can effectively safeguard your vehicle. Some thieves will break into your car with an aim not to steal it, but to steal the possessions you've left inside. Instead of leaving objects in plain sight, store them in the trunk, or in a diversion safe. Always park in well lit, secure areas. This can reduce the likelihood not only of car thefts, but also mugging, carjacking, and other dangerous situations.

    Article Title: Should You Use a Stun Gun on an Animal

    Many people want to know about the effectiveness of stun guns on animals. While stun guns are quite effective on human attackers, a stun gun is specially designed to target the nervous system and muscles of humans. It is not designed for animals' bodies, and will have an unknown effect on them. The general consensus is that stun guns are not an appropriate method of stopping animal attacks.
     
    A stun gun may have a range of effects depending on the animal. It may be unable to stop the animal from attacking, especially if it is a large animal like a bear. On the other end of the spectrum, it may actually end up killing the animal, even though stun guns are a nonlethal method when used against human attackers. Even though you want the attack to stop, you may not feel comfortable killing an animal, which is one reason you wouldn't want to use a stun gun in such an attack. The bottom line is that stun guns are not designed to be used against animals, wild or domesticated, and can have unpredictable results.
     
    Another danger of using a stun gun against an animal is that it must be pressed directly against the animal in order to work, and this is not always possible or desirable. With that being said, if you do have a stun gun with you and are being attacked, turn it on. The sound of the electrical current has been known to scare away some dogs. Many will run at the sight of a stun gun once it is on. Occasionally, there are new reports of such devices being used against animals. Stun guns and TASER devices have been known to be effective in some cases, but they should always be the last resort, and a more appropriate method should be used if one is available.
     
    A better choice for animal defense is a product designed to control animal aggression, such as an animal repellant spray. This works similarly to pepper spray. In fact, if you want to carry an all purpose self defense weapon that can work against animal or human attacks, consider a canister of pepper spray. Pepper spray, even that designed to be used on humans, is known to be effective at causing the same effects in dogs and other animals as it does in humans. Still, regular pepper spray may not be effective against large animals that may be able to fight through its effects. Bear repellant, a special type of spray, does exist, and it has been proven to be effective in attacks from large wild animals.
     
    Other ways to repel animals that are more effective and safer than stun guns include a Dog Chaser. This specialized device emits a high frequency sound that cannot be heard at all by most humans, but will keep dogs from coming within 15 feet of you. These devices are shaped similarly to a small remote control or garage door opener, and will work against canine attacks. Similar devices use a flashing LED light strobe to confuse the dog.

    Article Title: Self Defense Misconceptions and Assumptions

    There are many misconceptions and assumptions when it comes to self defense. The truth is, many people would not know what to do if they needed to defend themselves. Unfortunately, assumptions related to self defense get many people into sticky situations each and every day. In order to defend yourself properly, you must know the truth about self defense.
     
    One of the most prevalent notions is that you will be thrown in jail for defending yourself. In fact, it is legal to defend yourself if you are being attacked. As long as the device you choose is legal in the area where you are located, it is completely legal to use it if someone should try to attack you. However, you must stop fighting them when you can reasonably get away.
     
    Martial arts moves are not always effective in the real world. Even if you see spinning kicks and amazing punches on TV, it will almost always be ineffective to try these moves when you're being attacked. Unless you're trained in using martial arts as a self defense method, your attacker would likely be able to overcome such moves, especially if they outweigh you, are physically stronger, or are carrying a weapon, at least one of which is likely to be true.
     
    Too many people believe that attacks only happen to "other people." Although many types of self defense products are targeted towards women, and women may be attacked more often because assailants perceive them as weaker, you may become the target of an attack no matter your age, your style, your personality, or any other factor. The reality is that normal people are attacked every day in their homes, while out jogging, or when returning to their car after work. An attack can happen anytime, anywhere. You can't ensure your safety simply by staying away from "bad" areas after dark, although this will help to lower your chances of an attack. With that being said, there are a few things you can do to make yourself a less likely target, including walking confidently and leaving your expensive jewelry at home. A person out alone, no matter their look, is an easier target than a group of people.
     
    Some people also believe that if they are the unfortunate victims of an attack, there is nothing they would be able to do to fight back. This is far from the case! You can fight back with personal alarms, batons, stun guns, TASER devices, or pepper spray. There are many different self defense devices you can use to thwart an attack, and most are designed to be comfortable enough for everyday people to use. Most work at just the push of a button, so they're easy enough to use even as you are frightened and in the middle of being attacked. There is nothing fair or even about being attacked, so use whatever method you have to fight back. The worst thing that you can do when being attacked is to just stand there or turn your back on the attacker to run.
     
    You aren't defenseless when it comes to self defense. In fact, there are many strategies you can use. However, first you must realize that you or someone you love may be attacked, and you need to be prepared NOW, not "someday."

    Article Title: The Most Dangerous Cities in America

    *********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
     
    In November of 2009, Forbes.com compiled a list of the most dangerous cities in the United States. By analyzing FBI crime data from cities with more than 500,000 residents, Forbes ranked each city in terms of murder, forcible rape, robbery, aggravated assault, and other violent crimes.
     
    According to this study, Detroit, Michigan is currently the most dangerous city in the country. Known for a long history of violence dating to the 1960s, and current gang fights, Detroit has one of the highest murder rates in the country. Other cities in the top 5 include Memphis, Miami, Las Vegas, and Stockton, California. The top 10 list includes New Orleans, Louisiana – not surprising, considering the upheaval caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In 2009, Gary Indiana dropped from the infamous top spot, which it held for several years, to the number three spot. Gary's crime rate, including high statistics of rape and burglary, leave something to be desired. Also coming in at the top of the list are North Charleston (South Carolina), Richmond (California), Birmingham (Alabama), Flint (Michigan), and Oakland (California).
     
    All five of the country's most dangerous cities in 2009 are known drug transit points for Mexican drug cartels, according to the Department of Justice. Drug gangs fighting over territory can be found in each of these dangerous cities, including violence resulting from the Mexican drug feud that already causes the deaths of 10,000 Mexican citizens each year. Stockton, in particular, has seen a recent increase in drug gangs and related crimes over the past few years, as it becomes known as a transit point for drugs entering the country from Mexico.
     
    In addition to drug-related crimes, each of the country's most dangerous cities is also home to its own particular problems. These are not recent developments, however. The cities on the Forbes.com list have been riddled with crime for decades, as once-bustling cities face declining populations, resulting in a city with few resources and a high level of crime. This phenomenon has been repeatedly cited in the case of Detroit and its loss of the automotive industry, for example. Particularly with the current economic climate, it seems like few of the hardest-hit cities will be making any big improvements in the way of safety anytime soon. Hard-hit governments find it even more difficult to come up with the money for crime prevention and public safety.
     
    What can be done about rising crime rates in America's most dangerous cities? This past spring, President Obama met with Mexican President Felipe Calderon to discuss ways to fight the drug war. In addition to stronger police forces and other large-scale change, there are ways to protect yourself from violent crime. Whether you live in an urban area known for rising crime rates, or in a relatively isolated subdivision, you can be proactive about your self defense. No matter where you live, it's important to be aware of those around you. Use common sense home protection methods, such as locking windows and doors, and installing adequate outdoor lighting. For additional protection, install security alarms, or place a dummy security camera outside your home. Carry pepper spray or a stun gun in your bag. Crime can happen anywhere, at any time, even if your city did not make the top ten list.

    Article Title: Home Security For Renters and Apartment Dwellers

    If you rent an apartment, you're out of luck when it comes to home security, right? Actually, there is a lot you can do protect your personal safety if you live in an apartment building. Home security for apartment-dwellers starts not after you rent the place, but when finding a place to rent. Always ask yourself: does this area look safe? Does this apartment complex look secure? Only the apartment manager can fix some things, like gate locks or outdoor lighting, so don't move into a place that is lacking in these essential outdoor security devices.
     
    Don't ever let the fact that you are in a secure apartment building, or that there are other people nearby, allow you to lower your guard completely. This is especially true in a large building where your neighbors may not know you or who is supposed to be in your home. Apartment complexes are high-traffic areas, and you never know who's inside the building at any given time.
     
    While it's neighborly to hold the door open for a neighbor you know well, don't let just anyone in. Many criminals will stand near a door and pretend to be fumbling with their keys, trusting that a resident of the building will let them in. Keeping your apartment secure starts with the first door to the building.
     
    Once you reach the door to your apartment, be on your guard for anyone who may try to sneak up behind you to gain access to your home. Now is not a time to talk on your cell phone will juggling a bag of groceries and reaching for your keys. Avoid looking distracted or vulnerable in any of the common areas of your apartment building.
     
    Even if you can't install whole-home security systems or a surveillance system, there are plenty of steps that you can take to secure your apartment. Whether the building is secure or not, you must take your safety into your own hands. Keep your windows and doors locked no matter what floor you live on, even when you're at home. Always have the locks changed when moving into a new place, since you never know who has copies of the previous renter's keys. Don't be too generous when giving out copies. If allowed, install a deadbolt lock for additional security. Never leave spare keys under the welcome mat or on top of the door frame. Burglars are well aware of both of these tricks. You might as well leave the key in the door if this is your plan.
     
    A great option for apartment dwellers is portable door or window alarms. Simply place an alarm on your door or window, and it will sound a loud alarm when someone has opened it. These small devices can easily be taken with you when you move, making them ideal for those in short-term living arrangements.
     
    Getting renter's insurance, which is similar to homeowners insurance, is an important way to protect your belongings. Sometimes all the home security measures in the world can't protect your apartment from a break-in.

    When it comes to self defense situations, confidence is key. Without confidence in yourself, you may simply stand in place, unsure of your next move. How do you get the confidence to deal with a dangerous and threatening situation in which you are being attacked? The belief that you are well prepared to handle an assault will lead to increased self confidence, should this situation ever arise.
     
    How do you build up your confidence to deal with violence? Self defense training can certainly help. So can carrying a self defense product. Both will give you concrete methods of fighting back, so that you'll know what to do when the time arises. Having a plan and the skills to put it into action will increase your self confidence to fight back when you are being attacked.
     
    Even if you feel that fighting isn't for you, learning methods and techniques for defending yourself in a dangerous situation can help you get out of it. Change your mindset, and make an active commitment to keeping yourself safe. Too many people believe that if they are ever attacked, there is nothing they can do about it. Be proactive, and have the expectation that if you are ever attacked, you will do everything in your power to fight back. Taking a class on protecting yourself will help you make self defense decisions quickly and confidently. If you don't have the time for a class, books and DVDs will teach you how to use the same techniques.
     
    Make a plan for your self defense now, before you end up in a dangerous situation. Your plan should include not only techniques, but also tools. Carry pepper spray or a stun gun, both of which give you an effective way to fight back against an attacker. Choose a device that you feel confident using. If it's too complicated for you, you will not be able to fight back confidently. These tools can help you remain confident in the face of danger, and give you a real way to effectively fight an assailant. Once you have chosen your self defense method, make sure you know what to do when the time comes. Consider practicing on an inanimate object so that you'll be able to confidently use it when the time comes.
     
    As you practice these techniques again and again, you will grow more confident in your ability to actually use them for the purpose of defending yourself. When you are attacked, your immediate reaction will be something close to panic. Unless you already have a plan, you may become too nervous to do anything. If you're not confident that your plan will work, you may even shy away from putting it into action.
     
    Confidence can even stop you from being attacked in the first place. Self confidence is not only internal, spurring you to action, but also external. If you are walking confidently, with your head held high, most criminals will pass you by in search of an easier target. If you look like you are scared when walking down the road late at night, you might seem like a weak target, especially if walking alone. Your body language is crucial if you want to avoid being attacked on the streets.
