Disguised Pepper Spray


Buying pepper spray products on-line has been a practice of mine within the past few months. When I first heard of their effectiveness from an officemate who had an experience in utilizing defense sprays. It turned out that I might be thankful in time for heeding her advice that I keep such non-lethal weapons for self-defense.
It had been past midnight as i got outside then. When i was about to hail a cab, someone suddenly grabbed my arm and went for for my handbag. I did my best to pull the bag away from him. Intuitively, I pressed the trigger on the Stunning Ring pepper spray which wore on a finger in my right hand.

The mugger was in disbelief to find me carrying a disguised pepper spray. The misery were swift simply because it sent him experiencing difficulty seeing and breathing immediately. Upon incapacitating this total stranger, I raced towards direction of now alarmed onlookers where I'd be safer.

Back when I'd been still buying pepper spray preceding the encounter, my idea was to get those which has a misleading camouflage. I guess i made the ideal call since the Stunning Ring pepper spray worked in defending me against a delinquent who thought mistakenly that I was defenseless. He had no clue that my normal-looking ring would have been a mini pepper spray and had no chance of withstanding its strength once he was hit by it.

I continued with buying pepper spray items because it frightened me to run into danger just as before. I sought out additions to things i already owned to ensure that I would be more prepared against wrongdoing, which is spreading by the minute.

I have since ordered two other defense sprays, a lipstick pepper spray and the Pepper Pen. If buying pepper spray, I normally go for those that are powerful, easy to operate and light-weight. Also, I find small pepper sprays to be ideal for the protection that I needed.
Even though the Pepper Pen may be easily mistaken for a regular pen, it is light and is available in a smart disguise, both of which make it very easy to hide. This pepper spray pen can be kept in my bag for easier carriage no matter where I am.

My lipstick pepper spray is equally as handy featuring its disguised appearance of a tube of lipstick and can take down a goon located 10 feet from me. As women require to stop the bad guys, it offers me security with wider coverage.

Ban D McGinnes is a strong believer in being protected as opposed to being sorry. He offers a fantastic selection of self defense Items to help keep you shielded from danger. Items including pepper sprays, stun guns, personal alarms, Mace and Tasers.

Why I Bought A Nanny Spy Camera


After reading an especially disturbing article online a few weeks ago started to consider the benefits of having a “nanny cam” at my own home. A lot of people may find the usage of hidden cameras an invasion of privacy. I know that before I did the research and started reading endless stories of abuse and neglect; I found the very thought of a hidden camera at my house disturbing. Not surprisingly I felt safe with all the choices I'd made when it came to people I allowed to care for the children.

Among the many stories that truly caught my attention was that surrounding a single mother of twins. Although she would have loved to remain home with brand-new babies, she like the majority of us had to return to work in order to care for her new family. She'd installed a Nanny cam so she could check in on her sons after she went back to work. She had been home with the twins, born prematurely, for many months before going back to work. The digital camera was motion-activated, disguised like a clock on the mantel and it also captured the shocking images. The recording covered a span of five to seven hours for the day, from the time the family came downstairs to breakfast.

She'd hired this woman based on a great one on one interview and several wonderful references. She thought she could trust her. It wasn’t long after setting up the camera that she was confronted with the horrifying fact that you never really know what a person is capable of. This Nanny was caught hanging these little boys upside down by their feet, tossing them on the couch like rag dolls, and leaving them unattended several times.

The idea alone of leaving the children with someone who may be capable of something like that or worse scared me to death. After speaking with countless concerned parents on the subject I have found that many of them have turned to Nanny Cams as the best way of protecting their kids when they cannot physically be there themselves.

This is how my search for the perfect camera began. It didn’t take me long to find the perfect fit for my family. The Desk Top Speakers Hidden Camera I purchased online at www.lethalsystems.com has really put my mind at ease. The fully functional 2-piece speaker system works with PC's, iPods, MP3player, CD and DVD players. Includes easy power and volume controls with headphone output jack. AC/DC adapter included.

Within a matter of minutes I had installed the camera and could see what was happening in my living room while wasn’t there. It was simple to set up, and even easier to use. Although the disturbing stories that led me to this purchase still haunt me to this day, I'm much more confident in my choices when it comes to the people I hire to care for my children every day. Along with careful screening and a thorough background check, my nanny cam has made leaving my kids with a sitter less difficult.

Ensuring a safe, clean, and secure hotel room

It's a scenario familiar to any business traveler. Your airline flight was delayed, the cab line at the airport was endless and check-ins was a mess. Jet lag has struck. It's very late, you're tired and you have a breakfast meeting with a key client at 6:30 AM. You grab your key, avoid the bellman and head to your room to collapse into bed. Stop. Take the next 5 minutes to perform these safety, security, and cleanliness checks and prepare for the next day. These "how to's" will save you time the next morning, they could even save your life some day.

1. When you enter the room prop the door open, turn on the lights, and check the closets, bathroom, under the bed, and behind the drapes. Mistakes do happen and sometimes someone else has been assigned to your room. This happens more frequently in suites with adjoining bedrooms that can be sold as separate rooms. Or there could be a thief. In any case, don't close the door unless you are sure the room is empty.

2. Check that the connecting doors, windows, and sliding doors are locked. In general, avoid first floor rooms with sliding doors.

3. Once you lock the door and attach the safety chain, check the diagram on the back to review the nearest exits and mentally plan your escape route. Look out the door to check that exit signs are illuminated. If the lights are out, be help full and contact the front desk to let them know. The few seconds that it takes to review the exit information can save your life in the event of a fire, earthquake, or other emergency. Just do it. FYI, most fire engine ladders only reach to the sixth floor.

4. Be sure that the heat or air- conditioner, lights, phone, radio, and TV are working. Turn on the shower and sink to check the water pressure and temperature. If they aren't working, switch rooms now. It's not worth waiting for someone to fix the problem, especially late at night.

Lethal Defense and Lethal Systems has a New Press Release out.

Personal Protection Items



It seems we all need to varry more of our personal possessions around with us these days.




Cash in your wallet or purse, checkbooks, credit cards, personal organizers and mobile phones are just some of theeveryday items that are sorely missed if they are stolen.




All these possessions might seem invaluable, but according to the police the best advice for hanging on to your possessions is "only take what you need with you".




They suggest you learn to minimize the amount of possessions you carry with you. If you don't need to a camera with you, don't take it and the same goes for cash and credit cards, only take what cash you need and don't take all your credit cards with you, just the ones you are likely to use.




Keep your purse or wallet somewhere where you can feel it, such as an inside jacket or trouser pocket. Pockets you can zip or button are the best. Check every now and then to make sure you still have your wallet or purse on you, but don't make this too obvious as pickpockets can spot you doing this.




Likewise, keep your mobile phone out of site - in a zipped up pocket is best. If you carry a bag, strap it across your chest and keep hold of it, but at the same time try not to look overly cautious. Keep the zip or opening towards you. Be aware that back pack style bags are especially vulnerable to thieves.




Do not leave your bag unattended in a public place, such as in a pub, coffee bar or shop. If you're trying on shoes in a shop for example, don't walk even a short distance away from your bag. Keep it with you or ask the shop assistant to hold it for you.




Try to appear relaxed, but at the same time be thoughtful about your surroundings. Pickpockets like busy streets and crowded places, and someone bumping into you could well be a pickepocket. If this happens, check you still have your things with you, but again don't make it too obvious that you're doing this.




If something is stolen, go to the nearest police station or call the police. However, don't dial 911 unless you have actually caught someone in the act and managed to apprehend them. Think carefully before chasing after someone or trying to restrain a thief. The value of what they have stolen may be minor compared to the consequences of being attacked. Always put your own safety first.
