			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many great options available these days to the woman who wants to protect herself from attack and we are going to cover the Best Stun Guns for Women.  Although most self-defense items are unisex, there are some which are better suited for women because of the type of item.  </p>
<p>Here is a list of some of the Stun Guns that are perfect for Women:</p>
<p>•	<b><a  href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/lipstick_stun_gun.htm">Lipstick Stun Gun</a> – </b>Just like it sounds this item looks exactly like a lipstick making it perfect for the purse or pocket. Although it is only about 3 inches tall it packs a massive 950,000 Volts of scumbag deterring pain waiting to be unleashed with a simple press of a button!</p>
<p>•	<b><a  href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/pen_stun_gun.htm">Pen Stun Gun</a> &#8211; </b> This is another item easily carried and used when needed. It is only 6 ½ inches long and only one inch wide making easily held even with small hands. It can deliver an over-whelming 1.2 million volts of electricity to your attacker.</p>
<p>•	<b><a  href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/pretender-cellphone-stun-gun.htm">Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun</a> -</b> This looks just like a cell phone but you wouldn’t want to try to make a call on it. It doesn’t function as a phone and you just may zap yourself in the head with the unbelievable 4.5 million volts of agony that this baby can deliver.  It is only 3.8 inches tall and comes with a holster if you prefer to wear in on your side or clip it to a purse strap rather than keep it inside of the purse or a pocket.</p>
<p>•	<b><a  href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/multi-function-stun-gun.htm">Multi-Function Stun Gun </a>-</b>  The reason I added this item is its’ multi-function capabilities of being able to deliver 2.7 million volts of pain, provide you with an extremely loud personal alarm and emergency flashing light as well as a flashlight for times you need to see in the dark. Best of all is that this little wonder is only 4 ¾ inches tall making is very easy to carry and use.</p>
<p>You will probably notice that all of these items on this list are very small and easy to carry because unlike clothing for men, the clothing designed for women generally comes with very little pockets. </p>
<p>This makes all of these items perfect for carrying when you have little space to spare but still want to be sure you have some extra help should you need it.</p>
<p>Stay safe,</p>
<p>Charles Dougherty</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many good reasons to carry a <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/stun-guns.htm" target="_blank">Stun Gun</a> in case of an attack and very few not to keep one on you. Most victims never see their attacker coming which is exactly the way the criminals want it to be. This means you have very little time to react and any advantage you can give yourself the better your chances are of surviving the incident which is one main reason to carry a Stun Gun.</p>
<p>Unlike pepper spray which is meant for distances of usually 3 to 20 feet, a Stun Gun is used for an up close attack which means that the attacker needs to be within reaching distance in order to use it on them. The downside to all of this is that you will also be within reaching distance of your attacker.</p>
<p>Because the Stun Gun is meant for up close action it is very useful should you be attacked without seeing them coming and once the attacker has grabbed a hold of your body you can then send however many thousands of volts through his body. </p>
<p>One of the best features of a <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/stunmaster-stun-guns.htm" target="_blank">Stun Gun</a> is that the voltage does not pass through your attacker and back into you unlike what is shown on television. No matter how long you hold it on them delivering voltage you can touch them without getting shocked. This is another great reason to carry one.</p>
<p>The last reason to carry a Stun Gun in case of attack is how good it is as a deterrent because criminals want the easiest victims they can find. If you see a threat coming and display your weapon to show you are not afraid and that you are ready to use it then you can deter most criminals who will just go look for someone who isn’t as prepared to defend themselves.</p>
<p>Criminals are cowards and with very little money or effort on your part you can make yourself a bad choice of victim and help to lower your odds of falling victim to attack.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In your golden years the only thing you should have to worry about is how to enjoy the remainder of your life to the fullest but sadly that is not the case. </p>
<p>Now, more than ever, senior citizens need to worry about their personal safety and do what they need to in order to remain safe.</p>
<p>1.	<a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/autodialer.htm">Auto Dialer alarm system</a> for your home. Criminals enjoy preying on the elderly and this can keep you from coming home to an intruder. It will call you if it detects motion in your home and you can then call the police instead of walking in on the criminal.<br />
2.	<a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/dogchaser.htm">Electronic Dog Chaser</a>. This will help keep you safe as you walk around your neighborhood or local parks. It emits a 130db ultrasonic frequency as well as utilizing pulsing lights to scare off aggressive dogs. This is perfect for you as you walk your dog or simply walk by yourself out in public where there is a risk of an off leash dog attacking you.<br />
3.	<a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/runtstungun.htm">Runt Mini Stun gun</a>. It is a very small, light and easy to use stun gun. It fits nicely in your hand or pocket and can be used on the attacker even if he is touching you since the electricity will not pass through to you.<br />
4.	A small, lightweight <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/half-oz-peppershot-pepper-sprays.htm">Pepper Spray for your key chain</a>. If you happen to use any type of wheel chair or walker, you can hide one in the pocket of the chair so you always have it on hand. Be sure to aim for the eyes and get to safety as quick as you possibly can.<br />
5.	<a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/personal-alarms.htm">Personal alarms</a>. They are a must have addition to your safety tool chest. When you need assistance, having the 110db alarm can mean the difference between life or death. This is true for security as well as medical situations. Should you need help for any reason, a Personal alarm can help get you the attention you need.</p>
<p>All of the items on this list are lightweight and very easy to use which is something you should be sure any self defense weapon you may choose has for a feature. </p>
<p>The last thing you need is more stress when trying to protect yourself from an attack.</p>
<p>Stay safe!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In order to learn how to properly use a <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/stunmaster-stun-guns.htm">stun gun</a> you need at least some idea of how it works. In the most simplistic of terms, they use high voltage and low amperage to temporarily disable your assailant and provide you with what hopefully will be enough time to escape.</p>
<p>When you press the trigger the electricity stored in the stun gun will instantly dump into the assailant’s muscles causing them to do a great deal of work very rapidly. This instantly depletes the energy supply for his muscles and his body is unable to function properly. The stun gun also interrupts the tiny neurological impulses that control muscle movement and it overwhelms the assailant’s nervous system with electricity.</p>
<p>Although the word gun is in the name, <a href="http://www.getselfprotection.com/stun-guns.htm">stun guns</a> do not fire out anything at all and can only be used up close by pressing and holding it against your assailant. In order for the stun gun to achieve its effectiveness, you need to hold it against your assailant’s body for more than 1 full second. </p>
<p>Less than 1 second will simply cause some minor muscle contractions and will have a repelling effect, the effect goes away almost immediately after removal from contact. Touch your assailant for 1 to 4 seconds and it should cause them to fall to the ground and it may also cause some mental confusion. The effect also goes away almost immediately after removal from contact. A full 5 seconds or more should cause the assailant to become disoriented and off balance causing him to fall to the ground. It should then leave him weakened and dazed for a few minutes afterward although the actual time will vary by person.</p>
<p>The stun gun is effective on all parts of the body but it is most effective when used on certain areas of your assailant. The lower abdomen area is a prime target area you want to aim for and this includes right under the ribcage and the upper hip areas as well. </p>
<p>Another prime target area should be the upper shoulder and neck region and using it in these areas will help to maximize the effectiveness of the stun gun you are using at the time. There is also no need to worry if your assailant happens to be touching you when you stun him, the electrical current will not pass through to your body. This is especially helpful if he grabs you to try and drag you off to a secondary location.</p>
<p>As I mentioned earlier, stun guns are designed to help buy you a chance to get away from your assailant. You should try and give him a full 5 second jolt if at all possible . If you have a self defense spray with you, spray him before you run off to try to stop him from being able to chase you. Also be sure you scream as you run away for help. You want to do your best to attract as much attention to your plight as possible.</p>
<p>Stay safe!</p>
