Buy a Pepper Spray Keychain!

Posted by admin On October - 6 - 2010

OK, so your in the mood for some self defense, right?

Well maybe not in the mood, but your curious about how you might go about getting a self defense in your life. With the burglary, mugging and rape statistics at an all time high, why wouldn’t you look into ways to keep you and your family safe?

Well good news for you, I have found a product that I know will be able to keep both you, and your family safe…it’s called the pepper spray keychain.

What this means is that you can keep all of your defense in one place, your key ring.

A pepper spray keychain will attach to your keys so you have accessibility to when you need it most.

What most people do is hold the pepper spray in their hand while their walking to their cars just in case some crazy person decides to waltz up on them and mug/rape/rob, whatever.

Did I mention that pepper spray keychains are inexpensive? To be honest with you, you can pick one up for around $13-$15 and you receive them within a couple days.

Well enough about pepper spray keychains, because lets be honest, how much can you really talk about pepper spray? About as much as I have already.

Do yourself a favor and buy a pepper spray keychain!

Dome Security Camera – Why I Love Dome

Posted by admin On September - 9 - 2010

I have a dome security camera that points right at me while I collect money at the door of a local pub.  I am usually the only one that knows its there, as people are walking through the door.  The great thing is that while it protects my boss from thieving employees, it also protects the employees, too.  No one wants to commit a crime on camera, and if the criminal knows its there, they are less likely to harm people.

With that being said, there was a time when I had over $100 stolen from me out of my cash drawer while my back was turned.  The person that did it was a former guard I worked with, and someone who I thought was a friend.  As it turns out, he was anything but.  When I turned back to the drawer, All of my fives were gone, and so was he.  My boss, who had seen some suspicious activity at the door, went  upstairs to review the tape, and, sure enough, we caught him red handed.

Now the ex-guard had already left, thinking he had committed the perfect crime.  Little did he know that we had already called the police, showed them the tape, and informed them of where he was going to be working that night.  Without the Dome Security Camera, I was going to have to come out of my own pocket to recuperate the losses.

Instead, he was arrested, and lost his day job, that required him to be bonded.  In the end, it wasnt about having a huge team, or a lot of weapons.  It was about having an incognito eye in the sky.  An $80 camera paid for itself overnight.  If I ever set up surveillance for any of my clients, I am definitely going with  the Dome Security Camera.

Disguised Stun Guns saved my life.  Not the way you think, though…  I had been looking around for something to get my girlfriend.  Something that is uniquely her.  My only small issue, was I have no idea how to shop for gifts, especially for a girlfriend.  She works as a bartender, so guys are always hitting on her.  I have to make sure I step my game up.

I originally wanted to get her a Stun Gun, but all of the ones I saw at the local surplus store were too bulky for the tiny purse she carries.  After all, if there is one thing I know as a bouncer and a bodyguard, its how to pick a self defense product.  I am a personal fan of anything concealable.  That gave me an idea.

I started looking into Disguised Stun Guns, and found a Lightning Rod 800000 Volt Stun Pen and LED Flashlight.  This one looked perfect.  It was pocket sized, and very discreet.  At first glance, one would thing it is a flashlight or an epi-pen.  It does have a brilliant LED, but the coolest part is the fact it is a Disguised Stun Gun.

When I gave it to her, the response it got was, “ITS SO CUTE!!!”  She carries it around with her everywhere now.  She has never had to use it, aside from using the flashlight to find her keys, but she knows she can really on its stopping power, and I can continue my reign as Boyfriend of the YEAR!  If you don’t know what to get for the girl that has everything, you should look into Disguised Stun Guns.

Handheld Metal Detectors: Should I Buy One?

Posted by admin On May - 27 - 2010

Hello kids, how’s things?

I was perusing a few sites online when I noticed people asking where they should buy their soon-to-be, new, hand held metal detector.

Well the obvious answer here, is PeopleProtection.com of course.

Now should you buy one you ask? Well that depends on what kind of things you get yourself into.

If you own a security company that needs this kind if thing, then you might want to get one, but f you own a flower shop and was thinking about boosting your security, maybe a metal detector is not the way to go.

I have several clients neat by that buy them for their security gigs but not to many outside of that realm.

Now I know there are several different ways you can use a hand held metal detector but most people simply don’t need em.

To be totally honest with you, they aren’t even that expensive, so if you just wanted one to look cool, that would be alright too.

So I have a link below that you can use to go and check out our metal detectors to see if it’s something that you might like.

Also, if you have any questions about it, please feel free to e-mail us at sales@peopleprotection.com or just leave a comment in the comment section.

Awesome, Cheap Metal Detectors!

Are Telescopic Batons A Good Self Defense Weapon?

Posted by admin On May - 3 - 2010

So, are telescopic batons a good self defense weapon or should you chose something else?

Well, this is a very good question. To be totally honest with you, it all depends on what you want to use to defend yourself with. Stung guns, pepper sprays, and many others will definitely get the job done, but a telescopic baton has something that the others lack; intimidation.

Now, don’t get me wrong, a stun gun and a pepper spray will serve the same purpose but there is something about someone holding a steel baton in their hand that makes attackers second guess themselves.

But in all honestly, they are awesome weapons to have. They are very compact and very effective. You will pretty much ruin someones day if they are hit with one.

They are also very affordable. A real good one will cost you around $30.00. Not bad considering stun guns are a little pricier and you have to be within the same proximity to use one.

But either way, go check out Telescopic Batons on PeopleProtection.com’s home page! They are very effective and you will not be sorry for buying one.

Let us know if you have any questions.

3 Ways to Know If Pepper Spray is For You!

Posted by admin On February - 5 - 2010

So is pepper spray for you?

Do you know that there are literally thousands of self defense weapons on the market today?

Knowing which one to choose can save you hours of time and headache. That is why I have developed three simple ways that you can tell if pepper spray is a good buy or not.

With so many different choices for self defense weapons, which one is the best for you? Let’s find out.

1.) Cost – If you are looking for something that is not a lot of money then pepper spray is probably something you want to buy. I have seen them for as cheap as few dollars but you will be safe spending anywhere between $15-$20. Anything less than $15 might be to cheap to be effective.

2.) Effectiveness – Do you want something that will take your assailant to the ground? Well once again, self defense spray is right up that ally. One quick, 3 second burst to the eyes and you will drop like a ton of bricks. You can even get certain pepper sprays that have UV die in them. That way, if they run away, the police will know who they are by the glowing red on their face.

3.) Size – Do you really want to carry something around that weighs a ton, or is bulky? I think not. Self defense spray is small and compact and fits easily in a purse or on your key chain. I know of several people including my family members that keep spray in several areas of their homes and cars.

I know that this might seem like an easy list, but look at what you are actually getting. If you buy pepper spray you will have a small, affordable, effective piece of machinery. Just one spray can last a very long time and still be as potent as it was the day you bought it.

So now that you have your new found awareness, you need to take some action. I have actually found an excellent place that you can go and buy pepper spray as well as tons of other self defense weapons.

Did I mention that the sprays sold here fit all three of the requirements listed above? They sure do, go and check em out.

How A Taser Works!

Posted by admin On February - 1 - 2010

Above is an awesome video that demonstrates exactly how a taser works.

This is a show on YouTube called the Human Guinea Pigs and it’s remarkable.

This video shows you exactly what happens to a person once they are shot with a taser. As you will see, they immediately go down due to lack of body control.

The best part about the video is that there are three different people that get shot by the taser. Even more so, they are shot in three different places to show you the different effects each shot has. One is shot in the back, one is shot in the stomach, and one is shot in the legs. All three are pretty crazy if you ask me.

As of right now, PeopleProtection.com does not have tasers but we do have stun guns.

If you think you might be interested in tasers please leave a comment in the comment section below and I will see about adding them as one of our products.

Can You Carry Pepper Spray On Planes?

Posted by admin On January - 21 - 2010

Well, let me make this a fairly quick answer by saying, NO!

Not to be mean here, people but you have to know that it is illegal to carry pepper spray on an aircraft.

Here is what the Federal Aviation Administration has to say about it. These are the things you cannot carry on a plane with you.

  • knives of any length or description
  • all cutting and puncturing instruments
  • athletic equipment that could be used as a weapon, such as baseball bats, golf clubs, ski poles, and hockey sticks
  • fireworks, including signal flares
  • flammable liquids or solids
  • dangerous household items such as drain cleaners and solvent
  • pressure containers
  • weapons, including firearms, gunpowder, mace or pepper spray, or
  • any item that may present a potential threat.
That is straight from the horses mouth.
If you are traveling within the continental United States, there are certain states you can send pepper spray to so that you have it when you arrive, but that’s about your only option.
If you travel out of the states, then you are SOL. You cannot send pepper spray through any type of air travel.
So if you are traveling by air and looking for protection you have to be creative. The best thing to do is find a local weapons shoppe where you are going and just buy something for the duration of the trip.
I hope this helps everyone out. If you have any questions about this please leave them in the comment section below.

Top Five Reasons Pepper Spray Keeps You Safe!

Posted by admin On January - 18 - 2010

So here we are, talking about the great pepper spray again.

What I wanted to touch on, are the benefits of having pepper spray and the top five reasons it will keep you safe.

So without further adieu, I give you the top five reasons, pepper spray is so awesome.

1.) Price – Pepper spray is by far one of the cheapest forms of self defense on the market. For under $20.00 you can have a pepper spray that will bring most elephants to their knees. I know that wasn’t a good example but you get the picture. It’s pretty bad ass.

2.) Complexity – Pepper spray is NOT complex to use. If you can turn the volume up on your remote, you can use pepper spray. All it takes is the hit of a button, and down goes the assailant; problem solved.

3.) Attractiveness – Pepper spray is attractive. Did you know that you can purchase pepper spray in tons of different colors; including pink for the ladies. Instead of carrying an ugly stun gun (not that there is anything wrong with stun guns), buy pepper spray.

4.) Size – So all the ladies are always talking about how size matters. Well, let me be the first to tell you that it’s not the size of the weapon, its how much burn it has. Super corny, but you get the picture. Pepper spray does not have to be huge. All you need is a small 6 oz bottle to do some major damage.

5.) Super Awesome – I know this isn’t really a good reason but it is to me. Buying pepper spray is super awesome. You want something that can save your life, right? Well what’s more life saving than a small, low cost pepper spray? Exactly! That is why pepper spray is super awesome.

So there you go ladies and gents. You now have PeopleProtection.com’s top five reasons pepper spray keeps you safe. So if you are in the market for one of these dynamite beauties, check out the site below, you will not be disappointed.

Stun Baton – Why You Should Choose One!

Posted by admin On November - 3 - 2009

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?
