Philadelphia Is No Longer The City Of Brotherly Love

Posted By admin

Every day we read multiple instances of innocent people who go to street festivals, music festivals, or just enjoying a coffee or desert, all are being victims of these punks who really need a good whack to the head with a telescopic steel baton.

Amazingly, roves of negroid youth are banding together in fearless packs, stealing anything they want in city, after city, after city. The other day in Philadelphia, which can no logger be called the city of brotherly love, comes this about a 100 punk mob attack:

About 10 p.m., Maria said, she saw a shirtless teenager run past the restaurant.

"He was running in the middle of the street and looked like he was running away from someone," she said.

Maria tucked away her phone and wallet, which had been sitting on the table.

She grew up in Brazil, she said, and was more street-smart than her cousin.

Before she could tell Cecilia to put her cell phone away, another teen reached through the window and snatched it.

Maria ran out after him.

She was on the sidewalk, starting to scream "thief," she said, when someone from behind punched her in the jaw.

She said she turned, jaw throbbing, to see the girl who had hit her standing with five other teens. "What are you going to do?" she said the girl who had punched her yelled.

The teens were laughing, she said. "They were fearless. It seemed like they weren’t taking anything serious."

Maria ran into another restaurant and called 911.

The girls in the group called her a slut as they left, she said.

The police arrived quickly. Another customer at Max Brenner, a 32-year-old woman from Delaware who was with her 7-year-old daughter, had also been robbed. Someone had reached in through a window and snatched her phone, according to police reports.

When I was living in Long Beach, about 50 black youths got on a train heading to LA, and it was almost that bad, they weren’t taking anything, though it sure is a presence all these guys huffing and puffing out their chest like they are in the jungle.

Here is a video we did of a telescopic steel baton to see what they are:

The Telescopic Steel Baton comes in 3 sizes, 16, 21, and 26 inches, and collapses to a small size to put in purse or pocket. With the flick of your wrist, it pops out, ready for punk smacking action.

If you can’t or won’t carry a gun, this is a good alternative, though they are illegal in the following states; Massachusetts, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and the District of Columbia. Here are the Steel Baton Laws. If you know of any other state, let us know and we will add it to the list.

Cop Pepper Sprays Squirrel, Should Have Used The TASER

Posted By admin

A Texas police officer was caught on video blasting a rabid squirrel with pepper spray, and while animal rights activists are screaming for the hanging of the Cop, we at Defendthyself.com feel the Cop did not go far enough, and should have pulled out his TASER Device and really taken care of that pesky vermin.

http://www.defendthyself.com/products/TASER-M26C.html
TASER M26C

You see a TASER device shoots out two barbed prongs that latch onto skin or clothing, and send a shocking 50,000 volts down copper wire to really mess up your day. While my boss wrote an article called: Is the TASER C2 the Worlds Wimpiest Stun Gun?, its really what you do with the voltage that makes a difference.

And the TASER C2 will drop a bull in his tracks, and should make quick work of the rabid rodent, terrorizing the neighborhood. And we always include 2 FREE replacement cartridges with every TASER M26C.

I have seen aggressive squirrels before, and they can take you out in seconds, just like the mad rabbit in Monty Python’s, The Holy Grail. Don’t be a victim!

Michigan Eliminates Restrictions On Pepper Spray

Posted By admin

At the end of 2010, Michigan changed their laws to allow full 10% pepper spray formulas to be sold there. While this is great news, as it increases the amount of choices to Michigan residents, it really did not matter.

The Fox Labs 2 oz 5.3 formula uses a 2% concentration of 5.3 million SHU formula, enough to scorch some punks eyeballs to a charred crisp.

Here’s the changes to the law:

MCL 750.224d states:

“(1) As used in this section and section 224, “self-defense spray or foam device” means a device to which all of the following apply:

(a) The device is capable of carrying, and ejects, releases, or emits 1 of the following:

(i) Not more than 35 grams of any combination of orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile and inert ingredients.

(ii) A solution containing not more than 10% oleoresin capsicum.

(b) The device does not eject, release, or emit any gas or substance that will temporarily or permanently disable, incapacitate, injure, or harm a person with whom the gas or substance comes in contact, other than the substance described in subdivision (a)(i) or (ii).
www.mace.com
(2) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a person who uses a self defense spray or foam device to eject, release, or emit orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile or oleoresin capsicum at another person is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years, or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.

(3) If a person uses a self-defense spray or foam device during the commission of a crime to eject, release, or emit orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile or oleoresin capsicum or threatens to use a self-defense spray or foam device during the commission of a crime to temporarily or permanently disable another person, the judge who imposes sentence upon a conviction for that crime shall consider the defendant’s use or threatened use of the self-defense spray or foam device as a reason for enhancing the sentence.

(4) A person shall not sell a self-defense spray or foam device to a minor. A person who violates this subsection is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 90 days or a fine of not more than $500.00, or both.

(5) Subsection (2) DOES NOT PROHIBIT (emphasis added) either of the following:

(a) The reasonable use of a self-defense spray or foam device containing not more than 10% oleoresin capsicum by a person who is employed by a county sheriff or a chief of police and who is authorized in writing by the county sheriff or chief of police to carry and use a self-defense spray or foam device and has been trained in the use, effects, and risks of the device, while in performance of his or her official duties.

(b) The reasonable use of a self-defense spray or foam device containing not more than 10% oleoresin capsicum by a person in the protection of a person or property under circumstances that would justify the person’s use of physical force.”

Residents of Michigan will no longer have to opt for a specially formulated (much weaker) pepper spray formula in order to be in compliance with the law. Now any pepper spray formula, up to a 10% OC concentration is 100% legal! This is a huge win for the residents of Michigan.

Remember, spray first & ask questions later!

Mace Bear Pepper Mace: Your Best Defense in the Wild

Posted By admin

Your Best Defense in the Wild

Research has shown that bear spray is even more effective than a gun in stopping bear attacks.

IN THE VAST MAJORITY OF situations, humans and bears coexist peacefully in the wild, and tens of thousands of encounters occur without incident every year. But when bears do become aggressive, you’ve got to react quickly to protect yourself. The best way to do this is to carry a can of bear-deterrent, which sprays concentrated capsaicinoids— the stuff that makes hot peppers hot—to cause irritation in the bear’s eyes, nose, and throat. According to Jon Goodrich, founder of the Mace® company and an avid outdoor sportsman, the strong OC pepper formula in Mace Bear Pepper Mace® causes a massive shock to a bear’s sensitive nose, making the spray an extremely effective deterrent.

In July 2010, famed zookeeper Jack Hanna effectively used bear pepper spray to drive off a young male grizzly that threatened Hanna and several others huddled on a narrow ledge in Glacier National Park. That same weekend, bear pepper spray was used by two other hiking parties, a Student Conservation Corps worker, and a park ranger. In all cases, which involved both grizzlies and black bears, the spray proved to be 100% effective, and no one was injured.

I’ve always used pepper spray,” Hanna told a reporter. “You don’t need it for years, but when you need it you really need it.”

Spray vs. Guns

When most people think of protection from bears, they think gun…big gun. But relying on a gun poses several problems, not the least of which is that it is quite difficult to fire accurately at an animal that is charging you—especially if the encounter happens quickly and unexpectedly, as it usually does. Unless the user is extremely proficient with a firearm, he risks wounding the bear, which might make it more aggressive. Plus, guns are heavy and unwieldy, which makes them unsuitable for many hiking trips.

But there’s an even more compelling reason to use bear spray: it works better. According to a 2008 study co-authored by Dr. Stephen Herrero—whose Bear Attacks: Their Causes and Avoidance (1985) is the definitive book on the subject—bear spray is considerably more effective than a gun when it comes to deterring bear attacks. The researchers studied the use of bear spray in Alaska over a 20-year period and found that the spray stopped “undesirable” behavior an impressive 94% of the time with grizzlies and 100% with black bears.

Using Pepper Spray

Simply purchasing a can of bear spray isn’t enough to protect you, however. You must learn how to use it and then wear it in an accessible holster so you can grab it quickly. All bear sprays are most effective when sprayed directly into a bear’s face, giving it a real snoutful of the irritants, but sometimes just a whiff is enough to send a curious bear packing. Be aware that the spray is not a bear repellent; spraying it around camp is more likely to attract bears than keep them away.

Here’s how to use bear spray in the field:

  1. If a bear approaches, do not run. This may trigger a predatory response, causing the bear to start chasing you. This is a race you will not win. Try to remain calm.
  2. Take the bear-spray canister from its holster and disable the safety.
  3. Aim at the bear and slightly downward, adjusting for cross- wind if necessary.
  4. Spray a brief burst when the animal is 50 feet away.
  5. If the bear keeps coming, give it another burst at 25 feet, making sure to aim directly for the face.
  6. At 10 feet away, hit it directly in the eyes.

In most cases, you will not get to the final step, but rest assured that bear spray can stop even an aggressive grizzly that is practically on top of you. Author and naturalist E. Donnall Thomas described one such incident that happened in Southeast Alaska: “An aggressive young brown bear had closed to within 10 or 12 feet, despite all the usual yelling, and a friend had a rifle trained on its snout,” Thomas told me. “As soon as the spray hit the bear, the animal turned inside out and galloped off down the river.”

Safety in Bear Country

Although bear spray is an effective deterrent, Herrero says, “Don’t bet your life on it,” which means that, when you are in bear country, you should take every precaution to ensure that you won’t need to use your spray. Educate yourself about the proper storage of food, where you should set up camp, avoiding areas where you’re likely to surprise a bear, and so forth. Although you can’t guarantee you won’t have a dangerous bear encounter, you can surely make the situation less likely.

Don’t rely on a single canister of bear spray for a whole group; everyone entering bear country should be equipped with his or her own spray. You should also keep canisters readily available in the cooking, sleeping, and toilet areas of your camp. Be sure to check the expiration dates on all canisters before you head into the wild.

Many experts have compared bear spray to a seatbelt: you will probably never need it, but when you do, it could be the difference between life and death.

Diversion Safes | Buy 3 Get 1 Free

Posted By admin

We recently expanded the number of diversion safes, or hidden safes that we carry. If you did not know what a diversion safe is, it’s a safe to hold your valuables that looks like an innocent item that you would normally find in your house like a soda can or soup can. While there is no combination to keep them from being stolen, there is little if any chance of them being found during a robbery.

Barbasol Shaving Cream Diversion Safe

The Chicago Crime Commission found that a robber only spends an average of 8 minutes stealing things before he leaves. He is looking for the easy to sell and grab items, not going through every can in your pantry or under each sink.

And here’s our special offer; buy 3 hidden safes, and get the 4th one of equal or lesser value for FREE! Just mention the free one in the comments section when you check-out.

Stay safe!

Make A Punks Day With Spitfire Pepper Gel

Posted By admin

Wildfire Pepper Spray just released 3 sizes of their molten hot Wildfire 18 Percent Pepper Gel 2 oz., which is designed to stick to a punks face like glue, and make it feel like he kissed a blow torch.

Mace Pepper Gel

This itty bitty little container has enough pepper gel to shoot up to 10 feet, and squeeze off 6-8x 1/2 second bursts. The punk’s not gonna know what hit him, and he will try to wipe it off. Instead, he will grind it in deeper into the pores of his skin, and at that point, you can hit them with a bat or vase, taking them out of commission.

Wildfire pepper gel is ideal for use to prevent home invasion robberies, and it comes in a 9oz version, so you can wipe out the whole band of criminals, and not expose your family or yourself to blowback from pepper spray fumes. My friend told me a couple years ago that he quickly blasted off a puff of Spitfire pepper spray in his house to see what happens, and everyone had to run out side, even the cat!

And pepper gel works wonders in windy locations, where a fog, or even a stream might be effected. If you don’t have any of this stuff, pick up some now; it’s cheap and easy to carry, because if you move on to the next web site, and you find yourself in a situation where you wish you had one, don’t come crying to me. It’s too late at that point. Be proactive, not reactive; arm yourself with peppery spray, pepper gel, or pepper foam. It’s the best, and least expensive thing you can do to stop an attacker.

Remember: Pepper gel first, ask questions later!

One blast from the Spitfire pepper spray would have been the end of the punk, preventing his drunken self from his despicable crimes.

Self Defense Tips For The Holidays

Posted By admin

With Holidays almost upon us, we almost forgot to send you some practical tips to avoiding holiday crime:

When you are shopping:

  • Shop in groups; people alone are easy targets in remote parking locations for getting robbed.
  • Trust your instincts; if you don’t feel safe walking to your car when the days end early, ask for a security guard to walk you.
  • Always, always, always lock your vehicle.
  • Don’t keep valuables in sight of a criminal. Put bags in the trunk, take down the GPS device, and hide anything that can be stolen quickly.
  • Park close to the entry or in well lit areas.
  • Use credit cards & don’t bring large amounts of cash. You can cancel cards and not be liable for charges, and you can’t get that from cash.
  • Try and do all your shopping. Mutliple trips to the car could target you by theives that are looking for people that leave the Apple store or carrying expensive items.
  • Theives work in teams, and notify their gang when you leave the Apple store, or a jewelery store, or carrying expensive items. Then they follow you home, and rip you off the next day.

Don’t be a victim this year, and make sure you put a keychain pepper spray on your keys, or carry a 2-3 ounce Fox labs pepper spray, just in case some punk tries to take your gifts.

Remember; Spray first & ask questions later!
