Non-Lethal Self Defense and Personal Security

Carjacking Tips

2008-05-24T01:07:05Z

Carjacking of parked vehicles depends on the car owner being inattentive to their surroundings.

Carjackers, like street robbers, prefer the element of surprise. Most victims say they never saw the carjacker until they appeared at their car door. To reduce your risk of being carjacked, we have listed some common sense steps below:

· Always park in well-lighted areas, if you plan to arrive/leave after dark

· Don't park in isolated or visually obstructed areas near walls or heavy foliage

· Use valet parking or an attended garage, if you're a woman driving alone

· As you walk to your car be alert to suspicious persons sitting in cars

· Ask for a security escort if you are alone at a shopping center

· Watch out for young males loitering in the area (handing out flyers, etc)

· If someone tries to approach, change direction or run to a busy store

· Follow your instincts if they tell you to walk/run away to a busy place

· As you approach your vehicle, look under, around, and inside your car

· If safe, open the door, enter quickly, and lock the doors

· Don't be a target by turning your back while loading packages into the car

· Make it your habit to always start your car and drive away immediately

· Teach and practice with your children to enter and exit the car quickly

· In the city, always drive with your car doors locked and windows rolled up

· When stopped in traffic, leave room to maneuver and escape, if necessary

· If you are bumped in traffic, by young males, be suspicious of the accident

· Wave to follow, and drive to a gas station or busy place before getting out

· If you are ever confronted by an armed carjacker don't resist

· Give up your keys or money if demanded without resistance

· Don't argue, fight or chase the robber. You can be seriously injured

· Never agree to be kidnapped. Drop the cars keys and run and scream for help

· If you are forced to drive, consider crashing your car near a busy intersection so bystanders can come to your aid and call the police

· Call the police immediately to report the crime and provide detailed information. Be sure to carry a Stun Gun, TASER or Pepper Spray to make sure you have a first line of self defense.

ATM Security

2008-05-18T21:32:39Z

ATM cash machines have been incorporated in our way of life. They offer a real convenience to those on the run but at the same time offer an element of risk. Using an ATM machine safely requires awareness and a little planning. Just because an ATM machine is open and available 24-hours a day doesn't mean it is safe to use it. Most ATM robberies occur at night between 8:00 PM and midnight. ATM robbers are usually males under 25 years of age and most work alone. ATM robbers usually position themselves nearby waiting for a victim to approach and withdraw cash. Most ATM robbery victims are women and were alone when robbed. Most claim that they never saw the robber coming. Most ATM robbers used a gun or claimed to have a concealed weapon when confronting the victim and demanding their cash.

If you or your family members use ATM cash machines on a regular basis, here are some tips that can make the process a little safer:

· Use only ATM machines in well-lighted, high-traffic areas. Don't use ATM machines that are remote or hidden such as being located behind buildings, behind pillars, walls, or away from public view. Beware of obvious hiding places like shrubbery or overgrown trees. ATM robbers like to have the element of surprise and no witnesses. Robbers like good escape routes like nearby freeway on-ramps or high speed thoroughfares.

· Choose an ATM that looks and 'feels' safer, even if it is a couple of miles out of the way. Try and limit your use to daylight hours. Take someone with you after hours, if you can. When you drive up to an ATM location, scan the area for any suspicious persons. If you see anyone suspicious standing nearby or sitting in a car, drive away. When you approach an ATM on foot be prepared and have your access card ready. Memorize your personal PIN number to prevent loss and speed the transaction. After inserting your card and your PIN number keep an eye out behind you. Never accept an offer to help or request for help from a suspicious male ahead of you at the machine. If anyone suspicious or seemingly dangerous approaches terminate your transaction and leave immediately, even if it means running away and leaving your ATM card in the machine. First, tell the suspicious male in a loud, firm voice to "back-off" and leave you alone. This is designed to startle the person and give you time to flee, if appropriate. When you receive cash from the machine put it away immediately, extract your card, and walk away.

· If you use your car at a drive-thru ATM machine the same rules apply. Keep the car in gear, with your foot firmly on the brake, while using the ATM machine. Keep a close eye on your rear and side view mirrors during the transaction. Robbers almost always approach from the rear on the drivers side. If you see anyone approaching, drive off even if it means leaving your ATM card behind. If you are confronted by an armed robber, just give up your money without argument. The cash is not worth serious injury or death. Get to a safe place and call the police immediately.

· If lights around the ATM are not working, don't use that machine

· Avoid ATM machines adjacent to obvious hiding places

· Have your card ready and leave quickly, not counting your cash in public

· Beware of offers for help from strangers during an ATM transaction

· Don't fight with or attempt to follow the robber

· Drive or walk to a safe place and immediately call the police

Rape Prevention

2008-05-16T02:49:45Z

If you are in immediate danger of being raped, here are some things that you can do.

Make a loud noise - Carry a whistle or scream "police" to attract attention

Run - Only run if there is somewhere safe to run to. If there is no where to go you may aggravate the assailant further by running

Stall - Speak calmly and rationally. Try not to plead, cry or show that you're scared, this may be the reaction that he's going for.

Urinate or vomit - Do anything you can to repulse the assailant. Tell him that you have a STD or AIDS.

Fight - Women who resist attacks and act quickly are less likely to be raped, than those who are passive. The optimum time to react is in the first 20 seconds when the body releases chemicals in the blood that help to put up a fight. Be cautious if he has a weapon.

Keep alert - Even though it will be difficult, try to pay attention to as many details as possible, so that you can identify your assailant.

Get help - Call 9-1-1 as soon as possible. Police are becoming more willing to help victims of rape. You are not obligated to press charges or go to court.

Collect evidence - Do not bathe, shower, or douche. If you change clothes, put the clothes you were raped in into a bag and seal it.

Tell someone - Call the police, rape crisis counselor, telephone operator, friend. It is very important that someone knows and that it is not kept a secret.

Internet Buying Security and Safety

2008-05-16T02:44:45Z

· Despite these many concerns, some now argue that it is actually safer to buy online than buying over the phone or handing your credit card over to someone in a shop. This is because if the online payment is handled properly your banking details will be "encrypted", which means they cannot be viewed by anyone other than those handling the transaction - usually the banks.

· If you're still unsure, Card Watch, the UK banking group that works with the police and retailers to stop credit card fraud, offer the following "top ten tips" when buying online:

· Make sure your web-browser (that's the software that you use to view websites, most commonly Internet Explorer or Netscape) is set to the highest level of security notification and monitoring. These options are not always automatically activated when your computer is set-up, so check your manual or the "Help" option.

· Check you are using a recent version of your web-browser as they often include better security features - up-to-date versions can be downloaded free from the Microsoft or Netscape websites. If you have a different browser or use on-line services such as AOL or CompuServe, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or software supplier to find out how to activate their security features.

· Before purchasing from a website, make a record of the retailer's contact details, including a street address and landline phone number. If these details are not available on the website, consider going elsewhere to buy, do not rely on the e-mail address alone.

· Do not enter personal details unless the security icon is displayed (this is a small padlock that normally appears at the bottom of your browser when you begin your transaction over the Internet). You can click on the padlock to see if the retailer has an encryption certificate. This should explain the type and extent of security and encryption it uses. Only use companies that have an encryption certificate and use secure transaction technology. The address of the page where you enter personal details should also start https://.

· If you have any queries or concerns, telephone the company before giving them your card details to reassure yourself that it is legitimate.

· Print out your order and consider keeping copies of the retailer's terms and conditions and returns policy. Be aware that there may well be additional charges such as postage and VAT. When buying from overseas always err on the side of caution and remember that it may be difficult to seek redress if problems arise.

· Check statements from your bank or card issuer carefully as soon as you receive them. Raise any discrepancies with the retailer concerned in the first instance. If you find any transaction on your statement that you are certain you did not make, contact your card issuer immediately.

· Ensure that you are fully aware of any payment commitments you are entering into, including whether you are instructing a single payment or a series of payments.

· Never disclose your card's PIN number to anyone, including people claiming to be from your bank or the police, and never write it down or send it over the Internet.

· If you have any doubts about using your card, find an

Kids Safety

You've seen it in movies: A girl walks through an isolated parking garage. Suddenly, an evil-looking guy jumps out from behind an SUV. Girl jabs bad guy in the eyes with her keys -- or maybe she kicks him in a certain sensitive place. Either way, while he's squirming, she leaps into her car and speeds to safety.

That's the movies. Here's the real-life action replay: When the girl goes to jab or kick the guy, he knows what's coming and grabs her arm (or leg), pulling her off balance. Enraged by her attempt to fight back, he flips her onto the ground. Now she's in a bad place to defend herself -- and she can't run away.

Many people think of self-defense as a karate kick to the groin or jab in the eyes of an attacker. But self-defense actually means doing everything possible to avoid fighting someone who threatens or attacks you. Self-defense is all about using your smarts -- not your fists.

Use Your Head

People (guys as well as girls) who are threatened and fight back "in self-defense" actually risk making a situation worse. The attacker, who is already edgy and pumped up on adrenaline -- and who knows what else -- may become even more angry and violent. The best way to handle any attack or threat of attack is to try to get away. This way, you're least likely to be injured.

One way to avoid a potential attack before it happens is to trust your instincts. Your intuition, combined with your common sense, can help get you out of trouble. For example, if you're running alone on the school track and you suddenly feel like you're being watched, that could be your intuition telling you something. Your common sense would then tell you that it's a good idea to get back to where there are more people around.

Attackers aren't always strangers who jump out of dark alleys. Sadly, teens can be attacked by people they know. That's where another important self-defense skill comes into play. This skill is something self-defense experts and negotiators call de-escalation.

De-escalating a situation means speaking or acting in a way that can prevent things from getting worse. The classic example of de-escalation is giving a robber your money rather than trying to fight or run. But de-escalation can work in other ways, too. For example, if someone harasses you when there's no one else around, you can de-escalate things by agreeing with him or her. You don't have to actually believe the taunts, of course, you're just using words to get you out of a tight spot. Then you can redirect the bully's focus ("Oops, I just heard the bell for third period"), and calmly walk away from the situation.

Something as simple as not losing your temper can de-escalate a situation. Learn how to manage your own anger effectively so that you can talk or walk away without using your fists or weapons.

Although de-escalation won't always work, it can only help matters if you remain calm and don't give the would-be attacker any extra ammunition. Whether it's a stranger or someone you thought you could trust, saying and doing things that don't threaten your attacker can give you some control.

Reduce Your Risks

Another part of self-defense is doing things that can help you stay safe. Here are some tips from the National Crime Prevention Council and other experts:

Understand your surroundings. Walk or hang out in areas that are open, well lit, and well traveled. Become familiar with the buildings, parking lots, parks, and other places you walk. Pay particular attention to places where someone could hide -- such as stairways and bushes.
Avoid shortcuts that take you through isolated areas.
If you're going out at night, travel in a group.
Make sure your friends and parents know your daily schedule (classes, sports practice, club meetings, etc.). If you go on a date or with friends for an after-game snack, let someone know where you're going and when you expect to return.
Check out hangouts. Do they look safe? Are you comfortable being there? Ask yourself if the people around you seem to share your views on fun activities -- if you think they're being reckless, move on.
Be sure your body language shows a sense of confidence. Look like you know where you're going and act alert.
When riding on public transportation, sit near the driver and stay awake. Attackers are looking for vulnerable targets.
Carry a cell phone if possible. Make sure it's programmed with your parents' phone number.
Be willing to report crimes in your neighborhood and school to the police.

Take a Self-Defense Class

The best way -- in fact the only way -- to prepare yourself to fight off an attacker is to take a self-defense class. We'd love to give you all the right moves in an article, but some things you just have to learn in person.

A good self-defense class can teach you how to size up a situation and decide what you should do. Self-defense classes can also teach special techniques for breaking an attacker's grasp and other things you can do to get away. For example, attackers usually anticipate how their victim might react -- that kick to the groin or jab to the eyes, for instance. A good self-defense class can teach you ways to surprise your attacker and catch him or her off guard.

One of the best things people take away from self-defense classes is self-confidence. The last thing you want to be thinking about during an attack is, "Can I really pull this self-defense tactic off?" It's much easier to take action in an emergency if you've already had a few dry runs.

A self-defense class should give you a chance to practice your moves. If you take a class with a friend, you can continue practicing on each other to keep the moves fresh in your mind long after the class is over.

Check out your local YMCA, community hospital, or community center for classes. If they don't have them, they may be able to tell you who does. Your PE teacher or school counselor may also be a great resource.

In 2003, 1 in every ten rape victims were male.
2.78 million men in the U.S. have been victims of sexual assault or rape.

Children

15% of sexual assault and rape victims are under age 12.

29% are age 12-17.
44% are under age 18.
80% are under age 30.
12-34 are the highest risk years.
Girls ages 16-19 are 4 times more likely than the general population to be victims of rape, attempted rape, or sexual assault.

7% of girls in grades 5-8 and 12% of girls in grades 9-12 said they had been sexually abused.

3% of boys grades 5-8 and 5% of boys in grades 9-12 said they had been sexually abused.

Pregnancies Resulting from Rape

In 2004-2005, 64,080 women were raped. According to medical reports, the incidence of pregnancy for one-time unprotected sexual intercourse is 5%. By applying the pregnancy rate to 64,080 women, RAINN estimates that there were 3,204 pregnancies as a result of rape during that period.

This calculation does not account for the following factors which could lower the actual number of pregnancies:

Rape, as defined by the NCVS, is forced sexual intercourse. Forced sexual intercourse means vaginal, oral, or anal penetration by offender(s). This category includes incidents where the penetration is from a foreign object such as a bottle. Certain types of rape under this definition cannot cause pregnancy.
Some victims of rape may be utilizing birth control methods, such as the pill, which will prevent pregnancy.
Some rapists may wear condoms in an effort to avoid DNA detection.
Vicims of rape may not be able to become pregnant for medical or age-related reasons.

This calculation does not account for the following factors which could raise the actual number of pregnancies:

Medical estimates of a 5% pregnancy rate are for one-time, unprotected sexual intercourse. Some victimizations may include multiple incidents of intercourse.
Because of methodology, NCVS does not measure the victimization of Americans age 12 or younger. Rapes of these young people could results in pregnancies not accounted for in RAINN's estimates.

Oscar winner NICOLE KIDMAN is trying to raise awareness of violence against women. The actress, who is the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) - helped launch the Say No to Violence against Women campaign. She says, "One in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime. So much of it is shrouded in silence. What we are trying to do is say this is something that needs to be addressed. A lot of it is taking away the stigma, creating awareness and not making it a silent pandemic. I want to encourage people of all nations to unite behind our call to end violence against women.

RAPES...There were 94,635 reported rapes in 2004. The highest percentage of rape is in the Northeast. July is when the greatest number of rapes occur.

When you go on Vaction - Safety Tips

2008-04-26T00:58:41Z

· One of the times your home is most vulnerable is when it is left empty for an extended period of time. Darkened windows, mail or newspapers collecting and closed windows in hotter weather all advertise your absence to a potential burglar.

· The best protection for your apartment during your absence is to have a house sitter. A friend you trust staying at your house can take care of your pets and/or plants in addition to making sure the house is inhabited.

· Have a neighbor check on your apartment while you're away -- turning on lights, radios or TVs and opening and closing curtains will give your apartment the appearance of someone home.

· If you don't have a friend or neighbor to housesit or check your apartment while you're away -- perhaps even if you do -- you should keep not only lights but a TV or radio on a timer. If you're like me and have your TV on almost all the time you're home [NOTE: I don't watch it, it's just background noise.], the absence of the sound and that glowing light in the windows announces that you're not there.

· Make sure whoever is checking your apartment while you're away knows how to work your alarm system and who to call in case of a problem.

· Unless you have a house sitter, stop your mail and any newspaper or other delivery. Nothing announces an empty apartment better than a stack of newspapers or an overflowing mailbox. Ask a nearby neighbor to pick up any packages delivered while you're gone.

· If you have a garden or plants on your balcony, make sure someone is watering the plants regularly or put the plants where they can't be seen. Plants slowly dying due to lack of water may announce your absence.

· Check your lease. Many landlords require that you notify them if your apartment is going to be left empty for any period of time (this is so they can enter in case of emergency even if they can't reach you). If you've got a house sitter this isn't necessary.

Sexual Assault

2008-04-19T03:51:56Z

An estimated 12.1 million women in the U.S. have been victims of Rape. At least 39% of these victims have been involved in more than one rape. An estimated 20% of teenage girls and young women have been involved in some type of dating violence.

This includes: Physical, emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse. While it is important to address the needs of the victims of assault, it is equally important to be prepared for stopping this sexual violence before it begins.

Taser C2

2008-04-19T03:51:21Z

A review of the Taser C2 Stun Gun by Stinger Defense.

The Taser C2 is one of the best stun guns we have seen. Unlike a regular stun gun in which direct contact must be made, the Taser C2 can "stun" your assailant from up to 15 feet away.
It is easy to use and has features which prevents it's misuse by criminals. In testing the Taser C2 Stun gun was more effective then our 1,000,000+ volt stun guns in putting a person down. In police studies it has more instant incapacitation "take down power" then a 9mm handgun.

It also worked through normal clothing (the probes/barbs did not have to make direct contact with the skin). However when wearing thick winter clothing (t-shirt, thermals, sweater and thick winter jacket) it lost its effectiveness. We figure this was about 2 inches of clothing and that was about as much as one would ever wear in winter, so in real world conditions the Taser Stun Guns should have no problems in being effective.

The optional laser is not really an option. If you are in a crisis, with the adrenaline flowing you will need the laser so you will know exactly where to fire. If you are going to purchase this get it with the laser - it is a must. PS - it can not be fitted with a laser at a later time.

Here at Stinger Defense we give the Taser C2 the following:
Effectiveness: A+
Ease of Use: A+
Value/Price: B- ($349.95 with Laser - Replacement Cartridges about $25.00 each).
Ease of Carry: B- (this item is large and suited more for a backup located in the home, office or car. It is to big to really car on ones person all day long unless you are a women with a large purse).

Overall: A- to A (my wife liked it a hair more then me). Both me and my wife carry one of these - she keeps her in the front pocket of her purse (remember you must be able to get to it fast and that is not in the bottom of your purse) while I keep mine in the truck. I prefer to carry a small stun gun in my pocket for daily use and mace on my key ring.

Be Prepared

2008-04-19T03:50:39Z

There are times in our life when will will need to use either lethal or non-lethal force. It is much easier to use non-lethal force since, you, the user will know you are not killing another living being. This allows us to react faster and not hesitate at that critical moment. It's a proven fact that is very natural to think twice when one understands they will be using deadly force.

Here in the Neel / Stinger Defense family we carry both stun guns and pepper sprays on our persons, as well as backups to those items in our homes, office and cars.

Be Prepared:
Stun Guns and/or Pepper Sprays should always be within reach under 1 second - not in the bottom of a purse, briefcase or backpack. It will not help you when the time arrives if it is located there!

I personally prefer a 3 step protection plan:

1) Observation (be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to your sixth sense).

2) Preparation - have a key chain pepper spray gun, cell phone stun gun on a belt clip, in a pants pocket, hand or suit jacket. Do not keep it somewhere that you will have to look for it - it will be to late if you do. Then get a backup for those items that you keep readily available in the home, office and car - the cost is really insignificant compared to the option of being a victim.

3) The strut - walk with your head and shoulders upright, chest out and with a focused stride. If you look serious and confident it automatically make an assailant think twice and look for the next victim. If they do chose to attack you - they will soon find they picked the wrong victim if your prepared!

For as low as a hundred dollars per person one can have both pepper spray and a stun gun, as well as a backup in the car. This is cheap; considering it just might save your life and/or prevent you from becoming a victim of sexual assault, rape or theft.

Get protection NOW for yourself, your spouse, your daughter/son, girlfriend/boyfriend. Even if you chose to purchase your stun gun or pepper spray somewhere else I urge you to do it ASAP. It is only a matter of time before your time will come (the statistics prove it), then they will thank you or you will thank yourself - I promise!

Nate Neel - Vice President of Stinger Defense LLC

If you cant afford protection now give us a call and we will see what we can do - it's that important to our company and my family.
