Double Trouble Stun GunDOUBLE TROUBLE STUN GUN

The DOUBLE TROUBLE stun gun is like having two stun guns in one!

Twice the contact - totaling 1.2 million volts - twice the stopping power!

The Double Trouble stun gun is move effective than most stun guns because of the space between the contacts. The greater the space, the greater the effect. Most stun guns only have 1.5 inches between contacts. The Double Trouble has 5 inches between contacts.

ASSAULT Definition

ASSAULT – Unlawful intentional inflicting, or attempted inflicting, of injury upon the person of another. Aggravated assault is the unlawful intentional inflicting of serious bodily injury or unlawful threat or attempt to inflict bodily injury or death by means of a deadly or dangerous weapon with or without actual infliction of injury. Simple assault is the unlawful intentional inflicting of less than serious bodily injury without a deadly or dangerous weapon or an attempt or threat to inflict bodily injury without a deadly or dangerous weapon.

Reducing the Risk of Assault or Robbery

   1. Avoid, as much as possible, being alone on foot at night or in isolated places, even during the day.
   2. If out at night, stay in well lighted public places.
   3. Carry a non-lethal protection device (e.g., whistle).
   4. Lock car doors. Don’t hesitate to use the horn, loudly, when danger is sensed.
   5. Follow your instincts. If a situation “doesn’t feel right,” get out, get help, get among people.
   6. Remember, many larger stores have security guards. Enter one quickly if danger is sensed. See nearest clerk.
   7. Keep doors locked when home alone. Don’t open door to strangers. Use peepholes, not chain.
   8. Practice being conscious of who is in proximity and of a place to quickly go in event of emergency.

Pepper Shot™ is a 10% pepper spray rated at 2 million scoville heat units and made with a very fine grain that is more effective than the coarser grains of most other pepper sprays. In addition to causing an attacker pain, Pepper Shot swells the mucous membranes, which makes breathing difficult, and swells the veins in the eyes, causing the eyes to close. These effects last 20-30 minutes and cause no permanent damage. All sprays have locking actuators for extra safety.

airsoft BB gunsThough it’s often touted as a recreational weapon, airsoft BB guns make great self-defense tools for the home.  Most people are apprehensive about firearms because of its potential for fatality with both adults and children.  Airsoft BB guns are typically used for paintball, but they can also be used for personal use to deter intruders.

Unlike an actual firearm, a BB gun will not kill, but it can wound an attacker, especially if shot at close range.  Also, surprising a crook with a gun – even one that shoots pellets – is still a good way to make them think twice about entering your home.

kubotansIf you’re equipped in self-defense tactics, it may be a good idea to carry kubotans with you as a precautionary measure.  A kutbotan is basically a weight that can be used to make your fist heavier, or to be used against sensitive parts of the body (such as pressure points, the eyes, the neck or the ears).  If you are being attacked, a kubotan could really give you the advantage and it fits on your keychain.


Be Your Own Bodyguard

Be Your Own BodyguardThe world can be a frightening place and while there are a myriad of personal safety equipment that you can purchase, carrying weapons is oftentimes a legal grey area.  One of the best things to do is to learn self-defense techniques.  Taking classes can be a bit on the expensive side, so purchasing a self-defense DVD can be one of the wisest investments you can make.  In addition to learning some great martial arts in the comfort of your own home, you could also learn at your own pace. 

Also, DVDs allow you to pick from several martial arts – from combative Karate to Krav Maga – whereas most martial arts studios have a particular focus.  Once you feel like you’ve mastered one, you can move onto another disc and in no time you’ll be able to defend yourself from potential attackers.
