We all know, as the unemployment rate rises, so does the crime rate. Weather you live in the city or the country crime is an unfortunate statistic. Carrying a personal self defense device is a good idea for any law abiding citizen. A self defense spray, high voltage mini stun gun or personal alarm is a great way to protect yourself and your loved ones. Deciding which one is right for you depends on your personal needs, circumstances and comfort level.

In a situation where you are able to see your attacker, such as when you are leaving work or going to your car after a day of shopping at the mall, a high voltage mini stun gun and a personal alarm with a key ring is a great combination. Before you leave the building, have your personal alarm and keys in your hand. Switch your mini stun gun to the ready or on position and either have it in your hand (best) or easily accessible. You can clip it to your purse strap or belt, or put it in an easy to reach pocket. You now have an effective personal self defense plan.
