How The Elderly Can Benefit From Personal Alarms!

Personal alarms are devices that can serve alot of purposes. People from all age groups, irrespective of the gender, can find these devices to be extremely beneficial. However, these alarms can be put to more than one use by the elderly people.

Criminals find it easy to attack elderly people because they cannot defend themselves easily. Most of them do not even carry any self defense weapons that can help them. These personal alarms are available in the form of key chains or small gadgets that can be kept by the bedside at all times. These alarms emit loud sirens that can be heard all around thereby alerting someone to come to their help.

These personal alarms also help to serve as a medical alert button that can be used in situations where they are unable to shout out for help, but need medical assistance. Some of the personal alarms for the elderly are equipped with motion as well as lighting sensors.

Get a personal alarm so you and your family feel better knowing you can get help in any bad situation.

 

Stun Gun in Checked Baggage

You can’t put stun guns in your checked baggage. Better ship them to your location before you leave.

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Two stun guns were found in checked luggage at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport just days after another stun gun was discovered in a plane at a nearby airport, officials said on Tuesday.

A screener with the Transportation Security Administration at JFK detected the two stun guns in the checked luggage of a man waiting to board Lufthansa Flight 405 to Frankfurt, Germany, on Sunday evening, said Lisa Farbstein, a TSA spokeswoman. The man was arrested.

Streetwise Stun Guns for Self Defense at Home or Away

Stun guns are great for self defence at home or when you are away from home. You can stun someone with an electric charge to incapacitate them so you can get away or call for help. It even works thru their clothing and doesn't cause any permanent damage.

Places to keep a stun gun at home:

• Drawer by the bed - If there is an intruder at night
• By any door (hidden) - Quick access for outside disturbance or threat at the door
• Hidden in garage - To prevent car jacking or mugging when you park

*After stunning at home, get to a secure location with a phone and call for help.

Places to keep a stun gun while away from home:

• Pocket - The small stun gun versions will fit in your pocket
• Purse - Most stun guns will fit in a purse to be readily available
• Car glove box - Hidden but easily accessible when traveling
• Travel bag - Like an overnight or a gym bag

*I would not recommend taking it on a plane.

*After stunning the attacker, get away as fast as you can or yell for help.

The electric shock will make their muscles cramp up so they won't be able to move for a brief time, which is when you get away.

Someone who is on certain drugs will have more of a tolerance to the electric stun but it should still work long enough to get away.

Stun guns are great for keeping you and your loved ones safe.

**If you have small children, always keep the stun gun secure so they can not get it.

Check your state and local stun gun laws before carrying one to avoid getting in trouble.
