We thought it noteworthy to mention a partner site: Safety Enforcement.com, online since 2002 and a 5 star rated Yahoo! merchant has implemented a new style.

This website has provided Stun Guns, Pepper Sprays, Personal Alarms, Mace, and other Self Defense Products at a low markup and has been tirelessly advising and fulfilling customer’s orders for many years. 

 We applaud them for their efforts and for making a difference in people’s lives for many years.  Kudos go out to their staff for providing security and safety too so many for so long.

They have changed their website to a new centered design which will be much more user friendly when viewed through the abundance of operating systems, web browsers and the latest, higher screen resolutions.  Way to go Safety Enforcement, keep up the great work!

An everyday question and answer that might be of interest or help:

“Hello,

I am trying to figure out what would be the best mace product for me. I walk everywhere, get rides and take buses and trains using a waist pack to carry things all the time. I also take a lot of walks for exercise. I am looking for something that I can attach to a waist pack that has enough shots in it if something happens which I can put in a  leather case that you might sell or I might find somewhere else. Some of the mace just does not seem to have enough shots in it if you miss or something and with the foam, couldn’t they throw or wipe it on you? I like the idea of the fogger because it can protect you from more than one assailant but it seems that it would not be good for indoor use as it could harm you and those in your home  who you are trying to protect. What do you think of the fogger for someone like me when I am outside? Do you sell a leather case for it?  Thanks, Customer”

You certainly have a lot of concerns and they are well thought out, I might add.  One product can’t be “all things to all situations”.  Also, Mace is a Brand name and not the only kid on the block.  I might add a couple of suggestions:  
 
For different situations you may want to consider purchasing two products that will fulfill your needs in many situations according to what you are expecting to encounter.
 
I just sent a package to my daughter that contained two pepper spray products.  One for being “out and about” and the other for at home with her children where ambient particles, left floating in the air, might contaminate the air and give everyone symptoms.
 
I have seen several people maced/tear-gassed/pepper sprayed in my life.  I have never heard of or seen a perpetrator try to wipe the stuff onto the sprayer.  It’s so immediately painful that all they do is fight for air and try to rub it off of their faces.  They can’t however, nor can they see you clearly, so let’s put that worry to rest.
 
My recommendation to 99.9% of women that I know personally and that I have given to my wife and daughter is Mace Pepper Gel.    It doesn’t come with a leatherette keychain case, but it would probably fit in the LS-H4 holster for the 4oz Pepper Shot pepper spray (might need a little paper or cotton on the bottom to adjust the fit). 
 
The Pepper Shot 4oz and holster combination might be just what you need anyway, it’s available in stream or fog selections and the holster I mentioned is made specifically for it.
 
“Our 4 ounce Pepper Shot™ is a favorite with security guards and gives great protection at home. Get the leatherette holster with belt clip to carry on your belt. It’s available in a stream or fogger. 4 oz. stream has range of 15-18 feet and 21-22 one second shots. The 4 oz. fogger has range of 15-18 feet and 18-20 one second shots.”
 
For a knock around keychain pepper spray that you can take anywhere and hang from your keys, you might try one of these keychain models, or Mace brand keychain models

Consider, for a larger number of bursts, the Mace personal size, which has a higher capacity and still has a keychain and a belt clip.

If you would like to further research my opinions and recommendations go to our Blog: Crime-Information.com and type mace or pepper spray in the search box to see various articles written, that include these items.
 
I hope this helps a bit.  Have a great Valentine’s Day!

I wouldn’t attempt to post an in-depth or comprehensive class of hand grab escapes.  Also, I don’t want to duplicate a lot of information I’ve already posted. So here are a few simple escapes to keep unwanted hands off of your wrists. These must be applied very fast upon contact!

A’ = Attacker, mugger, po’ed person, overly amorous type

B’ = YOU!

A’ reaches with right hand and grabs your left wrist. B’ quickly rotates wrist in a swift counter-clockwise circle which breaks the hold of the weak link “the thumb,” and peels the hand off easily. (Advanced) – B’ also catches the peeled off hand and pulls A’ off balance at the same time.

In a mirror image, the same applies when A’ does a left hand grab to B’ s right wrist – except the circle becomes a clockwise motion.

A’ reaches across with the right hand and grabs the right wrist. B’ has many options; the clockwise circle as above (also with the advanced portion added).

Or, in a another advanced escape, as the circle rotates B’ captures and grasps the wrist of A’, pulls it close and while upsetting the balance of A’, the arm can be broken at the elbow or A’ can be taken down. This is done with a circular, forward, step of the left leg, while bringing either the body, or the left elbow, and/or upper forearm, swiftly into the out-stretched arm at the elbow area, or shoulder if going for a take-down. Of course, B’ may also shoot a variety of quick blows to the face, throat and eyes. Perhaps a knife hand or back-fisted strike, and then go for the elbow break or take-down .

Just a little imagination and a willing training partner will open up all of the possibilities and variations of the aforementioned movements. Remember to Be Careful when practicing joint locking or striking techniques. Injuries are easily inflicted.

I should mention that if a grab is so tight that it won’t peel off easily, B’ can always use the free hand to punch the grabbing hand squarely and with “intent!” I would like to add that B’ always has his/her legs in play for short powerful kicks on such occasions as well.

Remember to learn slowly and softly, being very careful before speeding things up!  These should keep you busy for awhile – start at the top and remember your A’s from your B’s.  I hope I did – cheers!
