Everyone uses tools on a daily basis. From the silverware we eat with to the computer you are reading this on, our lives are full of tools that we use to do all sorts of different things. Most of these tools are so familiar that their use is second nature to us and we don’t even have to think about when or how to use them. Also, they are not normally used to protect or save our lives.
If you own or are going to buy a pepper spray, consider that it is a tool that might be used to protect or save you or someone else from being harmed by another person or an animal. Since a life could depend on it, you should know the facts about defense sprays and how to use them. There are different types ( OC Pepper, CN Tear Gas, combinations with UV Dyes ) as well as spray, foam liquid stream and foam type delivery available. Its not complicated, but knowing a few basics could be the difference between having protection and having a problem.
According to a press release from the Federal Bureau of Investigation dated April 27, 2006 some 300,000 children are abducted by family members and 50,000 abducted by non-family members every year. Not only that, these figures refer to “before September 11, 2001″, so its a fair guess to say that the numbers today are even higher. How many of these are toddlers we don’t know, but I feel that if the number is only 1 that its still too high.
In many situations such as airports, train and bus stations, malls and stores it is easy to become distracted. An inexpensive electronic child guard can let you know when the child ( yours or one that you are responsible for) is seperated from you. Always remember to stay aware of your surroundings and stay focused, and your child guard will give your loved one an extra amount of protection.
