Lifestyle Defense

Now being fit is something I believe is truly necessary.

I don’t mean you have to be pumped up like Arnold, but you do need some sort of physical fitness if you plan on keeping yourself safe from would be attackers.

So here is what I offer….ready for it….RUN.

Yes you heard me, RUN!

Now you are probably reading this thinking I am absolutely crazy but I truly think that this is the only way to go. Now this mainly goes for the woman but the guys can do it too.

The only reason I am picking on the woman is because statistically they are the ones that get targeted by muggers, rapists, and murders.

I try and run at least 1 mile a day. I am not saying you need to do this but you should try some sort of physical fitness in order to be able to defend yourself better.

Just think about all the benefits this would entail. Not only would you become healthier but you would also be able to out run any would be attackers.

There is just nothing wrong with working out a little bit each and every day.

If all else fails and you know that you cant run or do anything of the sort because of a health condition or whatever, there is always pepper spray. I’m just sayin…

With so many weapons to choose from, why should you pick a stun baton?

Well I am so glad you asked. There are several different reasons why one should use a self defense weapon but there is only one good reason for choosing something that stuns.

Stun batons are awesome for one simple fact: They hurt!

When you have someone trying to harass you or hurt you, all that is going through your head is getting away. You don’t care about what is going on at that particular moment, you just want to get out of the situation.

Well with most “close up” encounters a stun baton might not be a good choice. However, say you are in the car and someone walks up on you wanting to cause you harm, what do you do? If you have a stun baton next to your seat, all you have to do is whip it out and push it to their person. I can bet that after they get 1,000,000 volts, they will take a few steps back. Ahh who am I kidding, they will fall to the ground as if they are having a seizure.

I am not saying that a stun baton is the “best” weapon to carry with you but it is an awesome one to have for situations like the one listed above.

You should honestly have a few things with or around you at all times. You should have pepper sprays, stun guns, stun batons and whatever else might make you feel a little safer.

Remember the old saying, “When fail to plan, your planning to fail”? This holds true with everything in your life. You need to make sure you are prepared.

Never think that you are being to paranoid. When you have a couple safety weapons with you, it’s just being safe.

So that is my take on stun batons. The point of this article is to advise you to keep something with you at all times. Better safe than sorry, right?
