This country is experiencing record highs in unemployment.  The numbers do and don’t correlate to a rise in violent crime as we’ll see.  The United States has 11,877,218 crimes (topping the list of all countries).  That is not to say we’re becoming more violent. 

 

Actually, crime is declining compared to previous years.  Analysts are stumped as to how, despite a sour economy, there are less crimes in 2010 as in previous years (to date).  In his book “Why Crime Rates Fell,” John Conklin, a Tufts University Sociologist, has concluded that the answer is simple.  There are more 1/2 million more people in Prison than ever before.  Is the answer that simple?  Probably not, but stricter laws and stiffer sentences are a good deterrent.

 

We are martial artists here at Crime-Information.com and never take lightly, facts like an increase in States issuing conceal carry permits for handguns, self defense awareness and martial arts based training and seminars are doing their part as well.

 

We strive in our online stores to sell the most effective self defense deterrents like stun guns, Mace and pepper spray play a significant role as well.  We are always available to offer expert advice as well.  We don’t just sell the stuff from our online outlets, we use the products and even test them on ourselves.  Yup, you heard me right.  I’m a 6th Dan in Shorin Ryu karate and schooled in other martial disciplines as well, but we learn and teach that one should try and use anything for a weapon when needed. 

 

I’ve been Maced and stunned on several occasions and my partners too, it’s never a pleasant experience, but I can talk to someone on the phone or via email and give them recommendations on each product, it’s philosophy of use and what’s best for their situation.

 

Today I spoke to a gentleman about Runt stun guns.  In particular for self defense use, ease of upkeep and reliability, the Runt 4.5 million volt rechargeable stun gun.  This model has a lifetime guarantee and no problem with replacing batteries.  Just recharge one as needed and you’re good to go.  My experience is that most stun guns have a great battery life but if you never want to buy them again, the Runt 4.5 million volt rechargeable stun gun is what you want.
