With the economy in the condition it is in, many households have had to resort to part time jobs for maybe the husband and the wife. Usually these part time jobs are performed after regular 9 to 5 business hours. I know, as a husband, my stress level always rises when my wife has to be out later at night when coming home from a job. That is not sexist, just protective. With more women traveling alone at night the chances are greater of being attacked if certain precautions are not followed.
Women should take caution when traveling alone, as it increases the odds of a possible attack. If you find yourself traveling alone often, there are many options available to you that provide extra security in the event you find yourself in a dangerous situation. Personal protection products like pepper spray and stun guns offer superior protection should you find yourself in a dangerous situation when traveling alone.
More often then not, attackers prefer to prey on women when they are in a vulnerable state, especially women that are unaccompanied. You should consider having someone accompany you if you’re required to work late nights, and there is a distance to walk to your car. Situations like this are a prime opportunity for attackers to do their work, and this should be avoided if at all possible. While it is important to be aware of your surroundings when traveling alone, it’s even more important to have the necessary means to defend yourself. Personal protection products such as pepper spray and stun guns are excellent choices for women who regularly find themselves traveling alone.
Pepper spray is one of many options that provide personal protection when traveling unaccompanied. It is an extremely effective deterrent, and considered legal in all states. Pepper spray has multiple effects on the body, including temporary blindness and asphyxiation, also causes a severe burning sensation when it comes in contact with the skin. It is the ultimate choice as a women’s self defense product as it is very simple to use, it’s very concealable, and it will not cause permanent injury to the assailant. Pepper spray can incapacitate an assailant for up to 20 minutes, allowing plenty of time to escape and seek help.
Another excellent product for women’s self defense, is the stun gun. When a stun gun is pressed against the body and activated, an electrical charge is issued causing almost complete immobility. It has the capability of bringing an attacker to the ground, and will disable movement of the arms and legs for a short period of time. Be aware that the effects caused by a stun gun will only last a few minutes, and the device MUST be pressed to the body and activated to achieve the best results. Also keep in mind that a stun gun may not have the same effect on people who are rather heavyweight, or under the influence drugs.
Many options are available in regards to women’s self defense products, and they should be carried at all times when traveling unaccompanied. If you are a woman that often travels solo on business trips, or you find yourself regularly working late nights, consider purchasing pepper spray or a stun gun for protection. Many women do not have the physical capabilities to fend off an attack. These personal protection devices provide women with the piece of mind knowing that there are options available at your disposal when situations permit.
Never travel alone without one of these personal protection devices in your possession. It could be the difference between life and death in the event of an attack.
