The Differences Between Stun Guns and a TASER

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:22:13 -0400

We often read headlines in the news about a police officer using a stun gun on someone. Very often, in fact most of the time, the headline is wrong. The officer probably used a TASER device on a suspect and not a stun gun. The terms “stun gun” and “TASER” have almost become interchangeable. There are many differences between stun guns and a TASER™ that you should be aware of if you are looking for personal protection devices for self defense. Most people think that a TASER and stun guns are the same thing, but they are not. Knowing the differences will help you make a wise decision on which device is right for your personal protection. Stun guns are effective approximately 85% of the time when they are used against attackers. When there are people who are high on drugs or just very aggressive the effect may not be as good at all. Especially if the stun gun is of a lower voltage. A TASER has an effectiveness of almost 100% and you will never have to worry if you will be able to put the attacker to the ground or not. **End Summary** Topics: tasers]]> taser]]> stun gun]]> stun guns]]> stungun]]> stunguns]]> self defense]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> To learn more about Self Defense weapons and other Non Lethal Weapons visit Jim Wilkinson's website, www.YourGreatestProtection.com Jim is a former Police Sergeant and knows what works to keep you and your family safe.

Biometric Gun Safe Equals Better Security

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 09:19:21 -0400

How many times have you woken from a sound sleep in the middle of the night and not known what woke you? Did a sudden noise wake you? You are not really sure because it is quiet now as you are laying there. But then, all of a sudden, you hear somebody walking around in your living room! You have to do something! OK, lets call the cops first. Good idea. Next, lets get our gun. That's right, it is in our gun safe in the closet. We scurry over to the closet as quickly as we can without making any noise. We pull out our gun case and try to remember the combination or try to find the key in the dark so we can open it and get our gun out. Not real easy to do when you are in such a stressful predicament. Now, doing something has become a whole lot easier. Of course you still call the police first but then all you have to do is reach under your bed, slide your biometric gun safe out, place your finger on the pad and watch the safe open immediately. **End Summary** Topics: biometric gun safe]]> biometric gun safes]]> biometric safe]]> biometric safes]]> home security safe]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Learn more about this new technology and how it is being used on Gun Safes .

Personal Protection and Traveling Alone

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:00:52 -0400

Traveling alone makes people vulnerable and open for danger. There are many things that you can do for personal protection to ensure your safety. When you are traveling alone and you know you will be alone it is very important to plan your trip in advance. Know where you are going to be, learn the map, determine your transportation and more. If you get a rental car the best thing you can do is get the GPS system. The last thing you want to happen is to get lost from your hotel on a bad side of town. A GPS allows you not to have to stop to ask strangers that you don't know for directions. Also, you should find out if the place you are traveling to is a safe destination for women to go to, especially if you are headed out of the country. When you are traveling alone it may be tempting to get a cheap hotel so you can save money. One thing to consider is that the majority of the criminals are not going to target people in the larger and safer hotels. **End Summary** Topics: travel]]> traveling alone]]> personal protection]]> tasers]]> taser]]> stun gun]]> stun guns]]> stungun]]> stunguns]]> ]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

Top Ten Myths About Stun Guns

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:58:49 -0400

We all “think” we know about Stun Guns and such devices but there has been a great deal of incorrect information spread around about these devices. The following are the top misconceptions about Stun Guns. 1/ You can cause a heart attack if you use a stun gun on someone. A/ False "The frequency and the shape of the pulses generated by stun guns are designed to incapacitate the target by electrically overwhelming his or her control of the skeletal muscles," according to a leading researcher. "In principle, these pulses are designed to act only on skeletal muscles and to not affect internal organs such as the heart." The evidence that stun guns do not stimulate the heart is based on "...theoretical studies [that] suggest that stun guns cannot deliver the amount of energy required to stimulate the heart or cause ventricular fibrillation." 2/ You will get shocked if you are touching the person that is receiving a jolt from a stun gun. A/ Not true. The current passing through the attackers body will not transfer back to you. 3/ Stun guns are offensive weapons. A/ Realistically, not true. **End Summary** Topics: stun gun]]> stun guns]]> stungun]]> stunguns]]> self defense]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

Self Defense and the Law

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 09:10:02 -0400

There are many factors to be considered when the use of self defense is used. Many states differ with their opinion on what they consider valid self defense. These things include the extent, who it is used on, who is using it, and the reason why. The act of self defense is the use of force to defend one's person from an attacker or a threatening situation. The force must be reasonable. Self defense is in place to protect you from being convicted of a crime if you afflict harm on the person who is attacking you. A good example of self defense is if you had a struggle with a robber and ended up using the robber's weapon against him. You will not be responsible for causing harm to the criminal. Some states vary what they consider self defense. You may have a can of pepper spray in your purse for personal protection. If you are approached by an attacker in the parking lot of a store and about to be car jacked then the use of your pepper spray would be appropriate and could ultimately save your life. **End Summary** Topics: self defense]]> laws]]> personal protection]]> tasers]]> taser]]> stun gun]]> stun guns]]> stungun]]> stunguns]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

Choosing the Right Hidden Cameras

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:18:47 -0400

There are many factors associated with choosing the right hidden cameras. You want to consider the color, quality of the image, sensibility to low levels of light, and receivers. These things can help you choose the best camera that works right for you. The color of a hidden camera you choose is going to make a big difference. You want the camera to blend in with the location where it is going to be placed. It shouldn't be visible to the people or it will defeat the purpose of having a hidden camera. There are tons of different types of spy cameras you can purchase in different colors and shapes. Image quality is one of the biggest factors you need to consider when you purchase hidden cameras. The quality of the image should be top of the line. The way picture quality works in video is that it is measured by lines of resolution. The highest resolution is the best quality. Surveillance cameras do not provide for high definition picture quality. That is why you see surveillance videos of robberies taking place that are blurry and hard to see. **End Summary** Topics: hidden camera]]> hidden cameras]]> home security]]> video surveillance]]> covert video surveillance]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

Types of Hidden Cameras

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:17:17 -0400

There are many different types of hidden cameras you might consider if you want to put up surveillance in your home, office, or workplace. These different types include motion detectors, timed cameras, sound activated, nanny cams, and more. The motion detector cameras are excellent hidden cameras because they use less energy. They require fewer batteries and are the most cost effective camera you can purchase. This is because they only begin recording when the sensors inside of the unit pick up movement in the room. The camera will activate when it detects movement and immediately begin recording. These types of cameras will record the video to things like SD cards or send it out directly to a monitor screen. This is commonly used for video surveillance for security guards and other job types. Some people like to put the motion detector cameras outside if they suspect someone is messing with their car in a specific parking space and they don't know who it is. **End Summary** Topics: hidden camera]]> hidden cameras]]> home security]]> video surveillance]]> covert video surveillance]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

How To Use Hidden Cameras

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 09:15:45 -0400

Many people purchase hidden cameras and they never install them properly because they really didn't learn how to use them properly in the first place. If you are thinking of purchasing cameras then you need to know how to use them. Here are a few things to follow. The first thing you need to do is determine the type of video you are hoping for. Do you want to record the video to an SD card and then view it later? Do you want the video to be put out to a monitor so you can watch it in real time? Many people have determined that the use of SD cards is very beneficial because it allows for backup and saving the videos. SD cards are tiny and they also save space because they are much smaller than the large traditional backup tapes. Most hidden cameras that use an SD card to record are hidden inside an innocent looking common item found in any home. There are no wires or antennae visible. **End Summary** Topics: hidden camera]]> hidden cameras]]> home security]]> video surveillance]]> covert video surveillance]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

The Economy and Its Affect on America's Crime Rate: Past & Future

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:29:49 -0400

In the 1990s the crime rate in the U.S. dropped dramatically in all significant categories, including violent crime and property crime. Some experts attribute this drop to the strong economy that existed throughout most of the decade, when the per capita income increased by as much as 30% and the unemployment rate dropped by 2%.(1) These numbers have pushed many experts in the field to speculate on the potential effects that today's recessed economy will have on the crime rate for the foreseeable future. There is no doubt that a strong economy encourages a lower crime rate, for many reasons. While many experts could not directly attribute the drop in violent crime to the increase in economic strength seen in the 1990s, they did attribute it to additional state funding for police departments and crime prevention measures. The drop in property crime, specifically theft, was directly relational to the increase in economic prosperity. **End Summary** Topics: personal protection]]> tasers]]> taser]]> stun gun]]> stun guns]]> stungun]]> stunguns]]> self defense]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

Below are the top 3 things you can do to protect yourself from becoming a victim. 1/ Always Be Aware of Your Surroundings â€“ We have all heard this little nugget of wisdom but too often we fail to practice it.

10 Easy Steps to Prevent a Home Burglary

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 15:25:55 -0400

1/ Make sure there are no shrubs or trees blocking the view of windows and doors. When shrubs and trees block the view of windows and doors it gives a burglar a place to hide while they are trying to break into your home. Nobody passing by will be able to see them as they are attempting to break in. 2/ Install motion sensor lighting around the perimeter of your home. Exterior lighting is one of the best defenses against a home break in at night. The burglar does not want to be seen. Very often if a motion activated light comes on the burgalar will leave the area immediately. 3/ Make sure all door and window locks actually lock. We have all had the situation where the window lock or door lock simply was not working and we think, â€œOh, Iâ€™ll get around to replacing that soon.â€ Well, believe me, the burglar will find it and use that means to enter your house. Fix all locks today. 4/ When leaving your home during the day leave the TV or radio on. A burglar will usually try to avoid an occupied home. They normally do not want a confrontation. **End Summary** Topics: Home security]]> home safety]]> home alarms]]> home burglary protection]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 06:31:59 -0400

The latest statistics from 2006 show that there were 2,669,050 household burglaries that year. That equals 1 household burglary occurring every 12 seconds. Are you doing everything you should be doing so as not to become a victim? There are some easy things you can do to avoid being burglarized. Burglars do not like to be seen - That is a simple fact. They like to do what they do when no one can see them. Cut away hedges and bushes that are blocking a clear view of your windows. No matter how small the window is make sure there is a clear view of it by a passer-by, your neighbors to the sides or your neighbors to your backyard. You might have to give up a little privacy but you greatly reduce your chances of being burglarized. Exterior lighting - Light up the area around your home at night, especially around doorways. If you go out for the evening make sure you turn your outside lights on. Burglars like to work in dark areas and will avoid a home that is lit up and clearly visible from the street. **End Summary** Topics: burglary prevention]]> alarms]]> surveillance cameras]]> security cameras]]> hidden cameras]]> your greatest protection]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Jim Wilkinson is the Vice President of Your Greatest Protection.
