Why Not Give The Gift of Safety and Security This Christmas

    With the state of the economy, most families will be shopping very carefully this year when the holidays arrive. Each dollar counts and the gifts hopefully have value as well as representing the love and care they are given with. That is why a personal security device or safe family life kit would make the perfect gift for a family member or friend. The gift says not only that I’m giving with love but also I care about you and want you to stay safe and secure for many years to come.

   For the teen or preteen, a good choice of gift is a personal alarm or pepper spray. Teen girls would love the pepper spray lipstick and the males would probably prefer the visor pepper spray that they can attach to the visor of their “teen mobile!” These devices allow the  receiver personal security devices to use if an assailant approaches them. The alarm sounds a high decibel sound to draw attention to the situation, while the pepper spray disables the assailant who’s eyes shut from the effects of the spray and  causes respiratory difficulties long enough for the teen to get away to safety and call for law enforcement. These days we hear plenty of stories of teen rape where the teen girl finds herself alone and defenseless with a date who turns out to be much different than originally thought. Pepper spray in any form-canister, key chain, lip stick, ring, etc. would be a good gift choice to ensure the female teen has some protection no matter what.

   There are also stun guns and tasers in many sizes and shapes. For teens, the runt or cell phone stun gun can be carried relatively inconspicuously. These stun guns also make great gifts for career individuals who may have to travel in a variety of areas which may not always be safe. Stun guns or even tasers, can be carried on belts with a holster or in the pocket, etc. and afford a sense of security and peace of mind to the individual as well as the gift giver who cares enough to make sure that person has a safety device if needed.

   For the college student, the Extreme College Survival Safe Family Life Kit makes an ideal gift for ensuring safety for a variety of campus settings whether in the dorm or out on campus. For the family member with a new home or apartment, the Being Safe At Home  Safe Family Life Kit is a great idea and continues to give throughout the year as the person utilizes a variety of personal security devices to keep the person safe at home and out.

  For the family with a pool, a terrific gift idea is the pool alarm which attaches to the side of the pool and alerts by alarm when any small animal, child, etc. accidentally  enters the pool. This is certainly a gift of love which helps to protect  young  children, grandchildren etc. from accidental drowning.

   New parents would love to receive the Child Guard Panda which attaches to the child to make sure the young child never wanders off from the parent. What a wonderful gift for new parents who are stressed enough with work, a new family, finances, etc. Preventing a lost child is definitely a gift of love that just keeps giving all year long.

And for the whole family there is the surveillance systems which can be a gift the whole family benefits from. What better gift for a family than peace of mind and security knowing that home and premises are under surveillance and watched at all times.

What Is Your Personal Security Score?

                                    
   It’s gotten so I don’t even want to look at the newspaper anymore. It seems like every page has some story about criminal violence on an innocent victim. Most people aren’t thinking about personal security until something happens to open their eyes to the problems around them. Just this week, my local newspaper confirmed that the crime rate is up 8.3% and attributed it to the poor economy. I’m sure that most cities big and small are having the same problems. When people can’t earn money, they find other ways to get it- and those are mostly illegal ways. 

   One elderly lady had her purse snatched in the grocery store parking lot. If she’d had a personal security alarm or electronic whistle, perhaps she could have drawn attention to the situation. Most criminals when confronted  by  120dB’s will usually abandon the crime and seek refuge before they are caught by law enforcement. I’m actually afraid to carry a purse or handbag at all anymore. I may be able to see in front of me but I still haven’t grown eyes in back of my head! It is so easy for a well-trained robber to sneak up from behind, snatch the handbag and be on his way with money, checkbook, credit cards, ID, etc. 

  Then there was the story about a young girl who was brutally raped. She survived the attack, but is now severely brain injured and cannot see or speak and it is questionable as to just what this young lady understands according to the news report. Again, had she been prepared with a personal security device, would the outcome have been the same? We can only surmise, but perhaps a spray of pepper spray could have given this young woman enough time to get to her car and get away. Maybe a handheld stun gun in her pocket could have disable her attacker allowing her again to get away to safety. I guess we’ll never know.

   What we do know is that these types of crimes are going on all around us and are occurring at an increasing rate. It upsets me that so many people say, that’s a good idea or I need to get some pepper spray for my teenage daughter, but never do. Talk is one thing, but taking action is a whole different thing. No one can say the next victim could be you or a family member. Victims are sought out at random and when the situation is right, the assailant moves in on the attack. Having a personal security device or even better,  more than one type could mean the difference between life and death.

   I hope I never see your story on the front pages of the newspaper. I wish there was only happy news to report, but lately, that certainly has not been the case.  As I said, the crime rate is up. What we need now is to increase the personal security rate. What is your score? Is your personal security score high enough to handle an attack if it occurred? Or are you like the innocent victims above who were at the mercy of their assailants. I hope my writing reaches even a few people who listen and take heed. Every one deserves to live securely and with peace of mind.
