We just found out the Electronic Secure Dog has been updated. The old one was older technology, and while it worked well, it did need an update.

Leave it to Flippo to come to the rescue. They have a great line of door alarms & window alarms, like the Kathmandu Door Guard Entry Alarm, and the Glass Guard Window Alarm and we just received a test unit. We will make a movie on the new one and report back. For now, here is what it looks like.

Electronic Secure Dog

What’s great about this product is that you set it up and point the Electronic Secure Dog at your front door, before you leave.

The sensor inside will "see through" walls, and start barking when it detects movement. Don’t ask me how it works because I don’t know, all I know is that it does work.

So now you have a guard dog that never sleeps, eats, or poops on your pillow. And it should scare off most punks.

You can’t stop the hardcore ones,’ cept with a gun, and we won’t go into that here. Check out the Electronic Secure Dog if you want a good motion detection alarm for your home.

While we are on the subject of Diversion Safes or Hidden Safes, how many times have you locked your keys in your car, house, business, or apartment? As we get older, we start to forget where we put things, and I can remember closing my door at home, and looking for my keys, and they are inside, locked.

Has that happened to you? If so, there is a great little item called the Stone Diversion Safe.

Fale Rock Hidden Safe

Just flip it over and take off the plastic piece on the bottom. Inside there is a compartment to put a key.

Then put it outside somewhere, preferably @ night so neighbors won’t see, or when you are pulling some weeds. Then the next time you brain fart and lock yourself out, you can quickly get in and get the spare.

You do have a spare key now don’t you??? If not, pick up any 3 diversions safes, and we will give you a 4th one of equal or lesser value, for FREE

We are going back and looking at some of our earlier videos, and we can’t believe how bad the quality is, and how long they are. We did the earliest ones with a cheap camcorder, and iMovie on a Mac. Here is a link to one we posted on YouTube in April of 2008 called: What is a Diversion Safe – Hidden Safe?

It’s 6 minutes long, goes over 5 different safes, and the video quality is terrible, though it was all we had. My how times have changed. Now we use Final Cut Express, have a better camcorder, and compress in the correct size with H.264. That video reviewed 5 different hidden safes or diversion safes.

If you don’t know, a hidden safe is one that takes an innocent item, hollows it out, and lets you hide diamonds, rings, coins, or cash in places a punk would not think to look. According the the Chicago crime commission, a criminal spends 8 minutes in a house looking for valuables. If you spread yours around, they will be less likely to find them before they vacate the premises.

So we took that long video, sliced & diced it up, and have made 5 new videos out of it. Short & sweet; here you go with the Barbasol Shaving Cream Diversion Safe:

Wait until the end, as there is a special offer just for you…

This is a good question; Do you really need a stun gun?

If you carry a concealed, or open weapon in states that allow it, the answer might be no or maybe. You can always use the threat of the gun as self defense, as well as actually use it, though sometimes you might not want to use it or you are not carrying it.

If you are handicapped, a women, elderly, frail, or small, the answer could be yes. Though a stun gun is really a close proximity non-lethal weapon that comes in many shapes and sizes. It won’t work past the reach of your arm, unless it’s a TASER device like the TASER C2, which shoots some barbed darts into an attacker from up to 15 feet, then devastates them with the patented way the pulse the electricity into the punk at different speeds, vs any other stun gun that just blasts raw voltage.

Actually, the TASER C2 is only 50,000 volts, the wimpiest stun gun on earth voltage wise. We even wrote an article about it and posted it here; Is the TASER C2 the Worlds Wimpiest Stun Gun? By contrast, the lowest voltage stun gun that we know of is the 80,000 Volt Talon Mini Stun Gun

Here are a few of our favorite stun guns that we like to recommend:

1. The Cell Phone Stun Gun, which gives you the advantage of holding something that looks like a phone, and you can even pretend to talk to someone on it, then with the push of a button, it’s blasting 800,000 volts into the attackers body, taking them to the ground. It has a disabling wrist strap that renders the stun gun useless when pulled from you. You should look for that in all stun guns you are considering.
2. The Stun Master 2.7 Million Volt Multi Function Stun Gun has the highest voltage we know of, almost 3 million volts! It also has a flashing red light, a white light, and an alarm to notify anyone around you something is going on. Disabling wrist strap is standard, and it comes with a nylon case, and has a built-in battery that you need a cable to recharge.
3. The Barracuda 1.8 Million Volt Rechargeable Stun Gun packs almost 2 million volts, has the disabling wrist strap, is very small and compact, and has a built-in battery and plug so you don’t need a cable or nuthin, just plug it into the wall.
4. The TASER C2 because it allows you to stop an attacker up to 15 feet, and with their pulsating, variable voltage, its possibly the best non-lethal product on the market.
5. And finally, the Stun Master Telescopic Stun Baton, which we call our Star Wars Stun Gun because you pull it from the holster, and the shaft extends over 21 inches, has an alarm, light, and disabling wrist strap. It also has built-in batteries, so you can save the earth and take down a punk in one fell swoop!

Remember to stun first & ask question later!

We just started to watch an interesting show on Spike TV online; Surviving Disaster Season 1. This first episode is 42 minutes long and is on home invasions, where they simulate 2 home invasions and how you can help defend yourself.

One is about a home robbery, the other a well planned kidnapping. They start with the home invasion robbery. They say there are 8,000 home invasions every day in North America, 8,000 freaking thousand home invasions on this continent.

Oh, I think we forgot to mention we were wrong on the 1,000,000 violent crimes every year, we apologize, there are 4,000,000 violent crimes in the USA each year.

So watch the video and pick up some tips. We will give you a few good tips here to prevent or slow down a home invasion robbery:

1. Your first line of defense will be to set up a perimeter motion activated alarm system. Something as inexpensive as the Voice Alert Driveway And Home Alarm System can be set up with extra sensors to blanket your property with an invisible beam that will alert you when it’s been broken by an intruder. That’s when you grab your guns, or non-lethal self defense products.

2. Your 2nd line of defense is to keep your windows and doors locked, even when you are inside. Many home invaders come in the front or back door. Pick up a few inexpensive window alarms like the Glass Guard Window Alarm, and a couple door alarms that will sound off when opened, like the Entry Alarm with RF Remote Control. Now they are at the gates, trying to break into your castle; get ready for them to come blasting in.

3. Now you need weapons, lethal work the best, though non-lethal will stop invaders just as well. HOWEVER, you have to be trained so they are not used against you. Training is the key to having the confidence to use any lethal or non-lethal self defense product.

We like the shotgun for its devastating firepower and ability to get the job done. Also large caliber revolvers pack man stopping force, and they won’t jam at the wrong time. 357 Magnum is a great choice.

For non-lethal, you have a few options. A large pepper spray of 1lb in a fogger will allow you to back-peddle to a safe room, filling the attackers with a cloud of pepper fog that will choke them and slam shut their eyes and throat so just breathing will be difficult. We like the Wildfire 18 Percent Pepper Spray One Pound Pistol Grip to quickly fill a room with some really hot pepper spray.

Another choice is the Mace Pepper Gun, which shoots the potent Mace 10% formula up to 25 feet, giving you plenty of room between you and the attacker. About the size of a flare gun, it uses these cartridges that really pressurize the spray to launch it that far.

And finally, the TASER M18L, which is a glorified stun gun that can electrify a punk from up to 15 feet away with the patented TASER® fluctuating delivery system. We just wrote an article called Is The TASER C2 The Worlds Wimpiest Stun Gun? and it was posted it over at Agoravox. They allow you to listen to it as an MP3, with a computer reading it. Pretty cool! We will post all of our articles there so we can get a MP3 copy.

Anyway, you get the picture; start by protecting the perimeter of your property first, then the ability for invaders to get in the house, then what to do when they get inside.

More to come…

Remember, pepper spray first & ask questions later…

We have not talked about the Telescopic Steel Baton for some time. We forgot how great a telescopic steel baton is for a self defense product.

What resembles a little foam rubber device, actually extends to a strong baton with the flick of a wrist. Here, watch this quick demonstration for a quick laugh to break up your day.

You can get them in 3 sizes, 16, 21, or 26 inches. They come with a carrying case, and fit easily in a purse or pocket. While I would NOT carry one of these puppies on the plane with you, like Snoop Dog did and got arrested, you can put them in your checked baggage.

Non lethal, quick to get ready to use, and can do serious harm to the punk that’s messing with you, check out the Telescopic Steel Baton web page.

We have been flapping our lips about their being over 1 million violent crimes every year according to the FBI , and then we see in the paper this weekend that crime is actually steady or dropping.

"What???" I say, I could not believe it, so I read a little more and it says that the Justice Department reported that property crimes dropped 9% from 147 to 135 per 1,000 people, and there were an ESTIMATED 4.9 MILLION VIOLENT CRIMES IN 2008!!!

OMG, that’s 5x the amount of violent crime in this country than we though occurred. You can do one thing to tip the scales in your favor. The Mace Pepper Gun is one of the best non-lethal self defense products on the market due to its ability to shoot pepper spray up to 25 feet, keeping you safe from a street punk.

The Mace Pepper Gun comes in 4 colors; blue/black, silver, pink, and blue. It’s kind of like a flare gun, as it uses a cartridge to pressurize the spray. It uses the wicked 10% Mace pepper spray formula, and you can stick it in your pocket, purse, or pick-up a holster and wear it on your side. Though only guys in West Hollywood would wear the pink one on their side. Ladies, put it in your purse.

Unless you get a pepper ball gun, there is no other non-lethal self defense product out there will launch molten hot pepper spray into a punks face further than the Pink Mace Pepper Gun. This is also one of the best products to stop a home invasion robbery, except a street sweeper shotgun…

Remember to spray first & ask question later!

Looks like TASER International came to their senses & re-issued their TASER M18L, which looks kind of like a Colt .45. While the TASER C2 is a great device for civilians, a security guard carrying a leopard TASER C2 might look out of place.

Advanced TASER M18L

So for all of our security customers, or citizens who want the best non-lethal self defense way to drop a punk in seconds, you can go back to the M18L. What’s great about it is the laser sight, that you can point at the subjects chest to insure an accurate shot.

Then you can add the optional cartridge holder for the end of the pistol grip, so you always have a spare.

And, we will include either a FREE Fox Labs Mean Green Pepper Spray 3 Oz and 2x FREE Sudecon Pepper Spray Decontaminate Wipes to help get rid of the burn once the punk is in hand-cuffs, or if it blows back into your face, that’s a $26.95 value!

or the Secondary Cartridge Clip For The Advanced TASER M18, a $29.95 value!

It’s your choice, just mention the Fox Pepper Spray or the Secondary cartridge clip in the comments section when you check-out.

Remember, use your TASER device first, and ask questions later…

My friend, let’s call him T-Wall, decides to buy the Spitfire Pepper Spray Gift Box Red for his wife. He sets up the pepper spray cartridge in the keychain holder, and is sitting in his house on a weekend.

T-Wal is a Bears fan, and sometimes he must be thinking about the Bears a little too much. He was messing around with the Spitfire key chain pepper spray, and he accidently blasts a quick puff of molten hot fog into his living room.

Spitfire Pepper Spray Gift Box Red

The first thing that happened is his cats immediately vacated the building, stage left. They T-Wal and his wife followed in tearful pursuit.

“I could not stand to be in the house, and I can’t see how someone can stand having that stuff sprayed in their face.”

There you have it folks, an innocent man, who accidently blasted himself with pepper spray regrets the day he did it.

T-Wal had to stay outside for a full 30 minutes, while he blasted his condo with fans to drive out the lethal Spitfire pepper spray fog.

Rule to the wise; don’t blast off a quick round of pepper spray in your house, take it outside…

Anyone else accidently let off a puff of pepper spray in the wrong location???
