Flight or Fight

Posted by On March - 15 - 2010

With all of the crime out there, it is a valid question to ask, “when should I fight and when should I flight?” 

Let’s face it, there are some times when you are being attacked and you should just run, and there are others when you should stay and protect yourself. 

This is pretty easy to explain so I will not go into some drawn out explanation on when you should run and when you should fight, it’s pretty self explanatory. 

If there is any time that you feel as if you are in physical danger, it might be a good idea to run…if you can. Sometimes you might be in a hostage situation where you know you can’t run without being harmed; you might wanna stay still in that situation until some type of help comes. 

If you find yourself in verbal danger, you might want to run from this also. Now don’t get me wrong when you are hearing me tell you to run from everything because that’s not the case, but you do know that there are situations when you should just walk away.

If you are being verbally battered, you might not wanna stand for that. Some people thrive off of punishing the weak minded and you do not want to be one of those people. You have to be strong and consistent. Be fair when its time to be fair, admit your wrong doings, and defend yourself when you know your right!

If all else fails and an argument is getting nowhere, end it and move on. You will not accomplish anything when you are arguing with someone that makes no sense and just wants to argue. 

Overall, knowing when to fight or flight, is programmed in your very soul. If you are in danger you know you should get out of there, FAST. 

I guess the main point of this post was to explain the different situations one might want to fight or flight while in a verbal confrontation. 

I hope this helped somewhat and if you have any questions, leave them in comment section below.

3 Ways to Know If Pepper Spray is For You!

Posted by 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.

Posted by On February - 3 - 2010

Apparently there is a shortage of pepper spray in Las Vegas.

I receive several e-mails a day asking me if I know of anywhere that people can buy pepper spray in Vegas.

Well to be honest, NO. I am not from the area and I have the slightest idea as to where to buy pepper spray in Las Vegas. I do, however, know where to buy it online.

How A Taser Works!

Posted by 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.

Police Pepper Spray Training

Posted by On January - 27 - 2010

Above, you get a little taste of what it’s like for our local law enforcement, to get sprayed with pepper spray. 

These are the things that they have to go through while going through the police academy.

The reason I posted this was so people could see what local officers have to endure. If you watch closely, you will see that they have to perform certain tasks AFTER they have been sprayed. This training is there to help them deal with the possibility of getting sprayed by an assailant or arrestee.

The pepper spray that is being used here is Sabre Red. This spray is pretty good but has a lower active ingredient than some of the others.

If you have forgotten, the active ingredient is the HOTNESS in pepper spray, so the higher active ingredient, the better.

Well I hope this helps you out and shows you a little bit of what its like getting sprayed with pepper spray.

Disarming A Knife

Posted by On January - 26 - 2010

This is a video of Steve Tarani’s knife disarming techniques.

I have posted things on the blog before in regards to disarming a gun and such, but these techniques are awesome.

If you watch closely, he shows you about 20 different ways you can disarm a knife and in return, use it on your assailant. He is very fast and accurate so please pay attention.

The reason I posted this is so you have a general idea of what you can do to protect yourself from someone that is using a knife on you.

REMEMBER: If you are ever going to practice this with anyone, use a fake knife. I know that might be common sense, but common sense is just not that common now a days.

Good luck with this and if you have any questions about it, please leave a comment in the comment section below. Be safe and take care.

Can You Carry Pepper Spray On Planes?

Posted by 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 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.

How To Make Pepper Spray!

Posted by On January - 12 - 2010

Here is a simple little video made by some kid, ironically enough.

The video shows you how you can make pepper spray from the comfort of your home. Basically, all it’s made of is cayenne pepper and some water. He shows you how to mix everything and what type of bottle to keep it in.

The only thing I do not like about what he teaches, are the ingredients of the pepper spray. All he adds is cayenne pepper when he should also add cumin and ground hot pepper flakes.

But if you are just checking it out to get a taste of how to make pepper spray, this is a perfect video for you. Check it out and you will know how to make pepper spray in no time.

Krav Maga: Self Defense Techniques

Posted by On December - 28 - 2009

Here we go again with the Krav Maga!

Although there are a lot of similarities with the other Krav Maga videos, this one is based on actual combat.

This video shows one man vs. two. These men approach the victim in various ways and the Krav Maga instructor shows you how to deal with certain situations. The only thing to consider with this video is that it is done in real time, without explanation.

I will be releasing another video later this week that shows you a more detailed explanation of how to do actual Krav Maga techniques.

This video is here for the basic purpose of showing you what Krav Maga really looks like in action. To me, this is one of the most powerful martial arts you can study.

Good luck with your defense and remember, be safe!
