Horizon Self Protection

Women are the usual victims of muggings. Most mugging incidents occur at night. Women, especially those without any companion, are easy prey. But women can protect themselves with some knowledge on self-defense. There are also self defense gadgets available in the market today, such as a pepper spray or a cell phone stun gun that can temporarily keep the attacker immobile.

A stun gun works on the nervous system. It delivers high-voltage electricity that temporarily paralyzes an attacker, allowing the victim to run and call for help. It does not cause long-term damage on the attacker but it might be enough for the attacker to learn his lesson. The pepper spray, on the other hand, causes temporary blindness as the heat penetrates the eyes and leaves the attacker in pain.

Every business, especially those into retail, must take the necessary precautions in preventing theft. Most robberies occur at night or in the wee hours of the morning. Gasoline stations and convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day are the usual victims. That is why it is necessary to have hidden security cameras installed.

Thieves will be wary of committing a crime knowing that their every move can be recorded. Cameras can also keep track of the performance of staff and check if they are doing their job well. It can also take note of the number of people who go in and out the store. Having security cameras keeps any business establishment safer and more secure.

           Is an attack by a dog or more than one dog in your future? Hopefully not, but every year hundreds if not thousands of people are bitten or attacked by man’s best friend and some attacks are fatal. Your chances of being the victim of a dog attack may be affected by things like where you live, do you jog, ride a bike, deliver mail or packages (pizza included). The one thing we can be pretty sure of is that none of those who are attacked each year expected the attack to happen.

            There are several types of dog chaser dog repeller  products on the market including chemical sprays which may or may not harm the animal. An electronic dog repeller works at a greater range (30-40 feet) than chemical sprays and should be the first line of defense. Always remember when threatened with attack by an animal, human or whatever, your main objective is not to beat the attacker into submission like in the movies, but to escape unharmed.

When it comes to protecting yourself from danger, you can’t be too careful or too prepared. Instead of carrying pepperspray or a stungun which could agitate a potential attacker, there are several forms of concealed protection available. These typically include normal household items like MP3 players,  cell phones or pagers. The cell phone stun gun is one of the more common options for concealed protection, and works great for surprising an attacker if you find yourself in a dangerous situation.

Remember to observe the standard rules of safety as well; avoid walking alone at night, avoid questionable locations, and always keep your valuables concealed.
