Would You Rather Not Carry A Hand Gun?


By Michael Wynar

In the next hour, somewhere in the United States a woman will be assaulted whether at home by her spouse or by a stranger while she is jogging, or carrying groceries back to her car.

In the short amount of time that a person might take on a lunch break, a person, especially a woman can become the victim of a personal attack. With a little planning a person, male or female, does not have to become the next statistic.

There are a number of ways to keep yourself safe. The best way is to have a self-defense plan in place and to carry a self-defense device on your person at all times.

Most attacks happen when you are the least prepared to counter them, example being, you had a stressful day at work and now you have to deal with the five o'clock traffic and you are trying to remember where you parked your car. Now your guard is down and this is the perfect time for an unsuspecting personal attack.

Are you prepared to counter an attack? You need to keep in mind that attackers aren't always the creeps or weird guys that you see on TV that hang around parking lots or in dark alleys. Statistically, more than 80% of rape victims know their assailant beforehand.

There are any number of Self-defense courses available online and many are free. These courses are designed to teach you that just trusting yourself to respond to a bad situation is not always an effective form of self-defense. It is important to have a strategic plan in place before you are targeted by an attacker.

This plan should include knowing when to run, or when to give the attacker what they want or when it might be to your advantage to hold your ground because you have a self-defense weapon such as a gun, knife, Taser or even pepper spray.

These self-defense weapons are of no use to you if you have not taken time to train yourself in their proper use or if you can't readily get to them when needed.

When you have a proper self-defense plan in place, you can avoid becoming the next victim.

The following is a list of ways to protect yourself against a possible attack.

1. Probably the most important thing you need to do to keep yourself safe, is pay attention to your surroundings. Always avoid areas that do not have adequate lighting also keep your distance from strangers. Making this a practice in your daily routine will reduce your chance of being attacked.

2. Take time to acquaint yourself with your self-defense weapon. It makes no sense carrying a self-defense weapon it you don't know how to use it. So take time and practice using it until you become comfortable with its use.

3. Next thing to keep in mind, is having the ability to access your self-defense weapon when necessary. What's the point of walking to your car late at night when you have your weapon somewhere in your pursue and you need it now. Do you think your attacker is going to give you a few moments to go through your pursue and look for it? Keep it in your hands until you get to a place where you feel safe and out of harm's way.

Dedicated To Your Peace of Mind & Personal Security.

I would like to invite you to visit my website at www.toledoguardian.com and look over the many non-lethal self-defense weapons. You will also have a chance to view training videos and learn how to use these weapons.

If the idea of carrying a hand gun for protection is not something that makes you comfortable, than consider looking at self protection weapons that are non-lethal.

Kecemburuan semacam ini

Jacey melemparkan cangkir kopi kaca, (Mug Kaca Berinsulasi Dinding Ganda Zwilling), melintasi dapur. Itu menghantam dinding yang baru dicat (Behr, Sweet Coconut Milk, M230), dan hancur menjadi triliunan kepingan. "Inilah yang telah kamu lakukan pada kami!" teriaknya, suaranya berderak karena cemburu, kuku jarinya yang terawat (Orly Cold As Ice - perawatan bernapas + warna) menusuk udara ke arah tumpukan puing-puing kaca. Blayne menundukkan kepalanya, dagu keduanya mengenai dadanya terlebih dahulu. "Maaf, sayang," gumamnya. "Maaf?! Maaf!" Dia mengambil sekotak Wheat Thins dan mengangkatnya di atas kepalanya. "Tolong jangan melempar yang lain!" Blayne memohon, berdiri dari posisi setengah duduk di bangku logam di dapur. Ini adalah bangku yang sangat tidak nyaman (Bangku Meja Grejsi dengan Bingkai Logam), tetapi Jacey menyukai cara logam itu memantulkan sinar matahari di sore hari, jadi itulah yang dia beli. Dia mencondongkan tubuh ke arahnya,...

Thirteenth step

My grandmother attends the church basement on Tuesday evenings. I saw him there among the metal folding chairs and antique coffee pots, his figure trembling under the fluorescent lights that buzzed like dying insects. She wears the same powder blue pullover she was buried in, the one with pearl buttons that catch the light like little moons. Others can't see it, of course. They just feel a sudden chill as they pass by where she is, or smell the ghostly smell of her Shalimar perfume mixing with the smell of burnt coffee that never leaves these rooms. But I see clearly. He's been following me to AA meetings for three months since I got my first white chip after five years of being back in the bottle. "Your grandmother was my godmother in 1985," old Pete told me after tonight's meeting, hands shaking as he poured a seven-pack of Sweet'n Low into his coffee. "Toughest godmother I ever had. She saved my life." "Mine, too," I said, not specif...
