Personal security products
There is a variety of personal
security products on the market today. This article
will briefly discuss some of the devices available,
and help you to choose the product(s) that are
right for you.
One category of personal security
products includes stun guns and tasers. These
devices are electroshock weapons that produce
a high-voltage electrical charge to disable your
attacker. The charge is high-voltage but low in
amperage, so they do not cause any permanent damage
to your attacker. Stun guns are designed to be
with your attacker in order to deliver their charge.
They have a set of electrodes that deliver the
charge. Most models also have an inner set of
electrodes that, when activated emit a bright
spark and a loud crackling sound. This can be
used to warn your attacker that you are armed.
The taser is a personal security
product that is similar to a stun gun, but can
be used from a distance of up to 15 feet. The
taser uses a compressed nitrogen charge to deliver
a projectile that contains the electrodes. The
electrodes remain attached to the taser via a
set of small, thin wires. A taser will deliver
a 30 second charge of electricity even when dropped,
allowing you time to flee your attacker. In addition,
the taser features a set of electrodes that allow
it to be used as a regular stun gun. This is useful
if you have no time to flee your attacker or if
you fire the taser and miss your target.
There are two types of tasers
available to consumers for use as personal security
devices. The first is the Advanced M18 Taser.
This device is shaped like a handgun, and is available
with an optional laser sight for better targeting.
The second model, the Taser C2, is smaller and
has a sleek, ergonomic design. It is targeted
mainly to women, and comes in a variety of colors,
including pink.
Mace and pepper spray represent
another category of personal security products.
They use a variable combination of OC Pepper and
CN Tear Gas to disable your attacker. OC Pepper
causes the eyes to immediately close and causes
severe choking and coughing. CN Tear Gas causes
intense burning to the face and eyes and also
causes disorientation. Neither of these substances
causes any permanent damage, however.
Another category of personal
security products is personal alarms. These devices
are designed to emit a loud alarm sound when activated,
attracting attention and scaring off your attacker.
Most are small and convenient to carry and use.
Some models have a built-in flashlight that also
serves as a flashing light when the alarm is activated.
This offers two modes of deterrence. Also, some
models can be used as door alarms. This is useful
as a burglar alarm for your home or as an extra
measure of security when you are staying in a
hotel. The device attaches to the doorknob, and
if someone tries to open the door the alarm sounds.
