Bas Rutten Teaches You How To Kick Ass!

Posted by On August - 31 - 2010

So you may, or may not have heard of Bas Rutten.

Either way, it doesn’t matter, because he is someone to steer clear of, if a fight breaks loose.

Bas Rutten is a mixed martial artist from back in the day. He no longer fights, but still trains and practices on his own time. He has won several championships and, is in my eyes, one of the baddest dudes around.

In this video, he basically shows you how you can kick the living shit out of someone in a bar fight, or street altercation. Pepper sprays and stun guns are awesome, but there comes a time when you have to know how to defend yourself in case one of these lifesavers are not available.

Check it out and let me know what you think in the comment section below.

Economy Sized Pepper Spray - Crowd Control Anyone?

Posted by On August - 27 - 2010

The first time I saw the 1.5 lbs Economy Sized Pepper Spray behemoth that is the Street Wise 17% Pepper Spray with Pistol Grip, I thought, “Why does that fire extinguisher have a pistol grip?  Will I be surrounded by militant fire?”  Once I saw it in action, however, I quickly got with the program.

It was about 2:30 in the morning, and all of the bar patrons were filing out in a drunk and disorderly fashion.  As usual, the warm summer night, and gallons of liquid courage gave way to a fight.  First it was two women, then it was the women’s boyfriends.  The next thing you know there is a massive 60 person brawl in the middle of the street without a police officer in sight.  As security, it is our job to not only break up fights in the club, but outside as well.  But 60 people?

One of the first things we did was shout.  No response.  Then we started pulling away the onlookers to get to the core of the mess.  No response.  Then came the Economy Sized Pepper Spray.  First we shook them for effect giving a final warning.  Then we pulled and emptied the canisters.  Two things you should know at this point.  First, even though we were on the outside of the fight, the 8‘-10’ reach made sure that we saturated to the core of the brawl, but what surprised me was the second thing.  When I say we emptied our canisters, we had about 300 seconds of spray before they sputtered out.

We didn’t even have to go hands on.  The crowd just evaporated.  Without the spray, we would have had to wade into the fray, and hope we could out fight, and out muscle the brawlers.  Been there, Done that, have the scars to prove it.  Now, with the Economy Sized Pepper Spray, we can break up fights of any size without having to worry about whether we will have to take a punch.

Krav Maga - Choke and Bear Hug Techniques!

Posted by On August - 10 - 2010

This video demonstrates the powerful techniques of Krav Maga.

Here, expert Steve Jimenez shows you how you can easily get out of tough and dangerous situations.

I have practiced Krav Maga before and have seen the power it has towards helping people protect themselves.

To be honest, if you have the time, check out local martial arts instructors and see if they have Krav Maga classes available. Remember, pepper spray and stun guns are very helpful and efficient, but knowing how to really defend yourself is the real reward.

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.

How To Pick The Right Metal Detector!

Posted by On July - 12 - 2010

Well let me first start off with giving you a piece of obvious information; when buying a metal detector, make sure it works.

With a statement like that, what ever could I mean? Well, there are tons of metal detectors out there that will work for a little while, but fade off into broke really fast, those are the ones that you want to stay away from.

You basically want to go in and do some research for yourself as to what works well and what doesn’t. I have a metal detector for sale on PeopleProtection.com but it isn’t the best one out there. I can say however, that it is the best one out there for its price. If you want to spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars, by all means, go ahead. But if you are just looking for a basic metal detector that can help you with your security or whatever else you might want it for, the secure scan metal detector is the one for you.

When you are shopping, read some reviews, do some research, that is how I chose the one that I have for sale on my site.

But I want you to pick something that is right for you, and within your budget.

Do your best not to buy any Taiwan crap because most of that is put together so fast, it’s not worth the time to even look at it.

So, even though I didn’t give you step by step directions as to how to buy a metal detector, I feel I did give you some general guidelines that will help you in your hunt. Remember, if you want to buy a metal detector that is reasonably priced and quality built, check out the secure scan metal detector!

Buy Pepper Spray - It works. (Trust Me)

Posted by On July - 6 - 2010

Of all the self defense products that are available to me, I buy pepper spray.  I have been on the business end of a canister enough times to know what it can do.  Being a Bodyguard, I often find myself in situations that require a way to make someone forget they came over to do me, or my client, bodily harm.  If I need to stop someone in their tracks, I use pepper spray.  There have been instances where I have walked into a situation where my partner was using pepper spray, and he accidentally sprayed me.  It works.  Trust me…

As a husband, I make sure my wife stays well stocked with pepper spray.  She carries a stun gun as well, but one thing we have both noticed is that with pepper spray, attackers stay down longer.  That is more time for you to get away, more time to get help, and more time for the attacker to re-think why he went into this line of work.

Another reason to buy pepper spray, is the capacity to incapacitate a number of individuals simultaneously.  Most attackers are cowards, and a lot of cowards travel in packs.  We’ll call it a Cadre of Cowards.  If you happen to find yourself in a situation when you are dealing with a cadre of cowards, you can try to take them all on with any number of tools, but if you had the foresight of getting something like a Street Wise 17% Pepper Spray with Pistol Grip, you can put an entire group on the ground with little to no effort on your part.  As far as shopping for a deterrent is concerned, buy pepper spray.

Buy Stun Guns - The Ultimate Deterrent

Posted by On June - 2 - 2010

Most people are intimidated by stun guns, but why let that work against you?
Use it to intimidate a would-be attacker!  Most stun guns are effective just
being discharged into the air.   If you saw one go off in someones hand,
would you stick around?

Most people think a stun gun is something you have to use up close and
person.  Up close is not the best place to be in a situation where you may
be a potential victim, but pulling it out before you have to use it is like
cocking a shotgun at the top of the stairs.  You are telling the attacker,
“Come closer at your own risk.”

They not only give off a considerable amount of light, but the most
impressive part of a stun gun is the noise.  It is LOUD!  The sound a stun
gun makes is unmistakable.  Even if you have never seen one in action, you
know what it is when it goes off.  Think of it as a police whistle that will
make your would-be attacker lose all feeling in his legs.

The second most common misconception is that they are dangerous to use.
Believe you me, they are.  But a stun gun is not something to be scared of.
On the contrary, once you familiarize yourself with it, your stun gun will
feel just as comfortable to you as your house keys.  One thing you have to
keep in mind is that while you are using your stun gun on your would-be
attacker, YOU ARE NOT SHOCKING YOURSELF!  Even if the would be attacker is
touching you, you won’t feel a thing.  (But they will.)  There are A LOT of
personal protection devices on the market, and most of them work very well.
But if you are looking for something discreet, with minimal size, but
maximum protection, buy stun guns.

Handheld Metal Detectors: Should I Buy One?

Posted by 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!

17 Year Old, Stunned At A Baseball Game!

Posted by On May - 24 - 2010

So there is some controversy going around about whether or not a 17 year old dumb ass was wrongfully stunned by police during a baseball game a couple of weeks ago.

Well first off, lets point out that the kid ran out onto the infield during a baseball game, which could have very well put people in danger. Does anyone see anything OK with this?

Now, I will be the first person to admit that it was kind of funny and hell, I can’t say that I haven’t thought about running out onto a baseball or football field naked a few times; but I didn’t. See that’s the difference here, I decided that it would be a bad idea to go through with something as idiotic as that.

But the story is whether or not this kid was wrongfully stunned by one of the police officers stun guns (sometimes called a tazer).

HE SURE WAS! The kid was running out of control and the only way the fat cops could do anything about it was to stun/taze him. He was in the wrong and the police used non-lethal force to make him pay; thats what stun guns and pepper spray are for.

Anyway, I just thought it was funny that people were throwing fits online about something so obvious.

So for all of you non-thinkers out there, don’t go running out onto a baseball field during a game if you don’t want to be stunned or pepper sprayed. Come on people, this is pretty much common sense here.

If you would like to add your two cents, please leave a comment in the comment section below.

Lady Chases Wendy’s Employee With Stun Gun?

Posted by On May - 18 - 2010

Ok, so all throughout this site you see all of the things you should do with self defense weapons.

How about there is an article published on Fox News that reports a lady, going through the Wendy’s drive through, got out of her car, went inside, and tried to stun one of their employees. You see anything wrong with this?

Why on earth would you get out of your car, go inside a crappy fast food place, and try to stun one of their employees?

Well just a few things come to mind, but insanity is what sticks out.

Let me advise you folks of a couple things here.

1.) Never try to attack someone with a self defense weapon, like pepper spray or stun guns, unless you have a lawful reason to do so.

The assailant is now facing charges with a deadly weapon over what, a Jr. Bacon with cheese?

Dave Thomas would be shitting a brick right now.

Anyway, when you use someone to defend yourself, make sure you have a good reason for it.

If you go and check out www.peopleprotection.com, you can see some of the stun guns and pepper spray we have to offer that will help you when a REAL situation arises.

I’ll tell you what though, the next time I get pickles on my whopper, I am going to waltz into BK and Chris Brown someone. I might even bring some pepper spray just because.

But in all honestly, don’t do stupid stuff unless you want to go to jail; you always get caught.

So go and check out the stun guns and pepper sprays on the main site.

If you have any questions or want to make any comments, you know where to leave em.
