Personal Safety Alarms Make Great Portable Self Defensive Devices

Personal safety alarms can give you peace of mind like never before. In fact recent research based on public opinion shows that the new-age personal attack alarms that fit into the palm of your hand are more popular than most other self defense devices.

The thing is that if you are an outdoor person, you aren’t likely to go cycling or running or even walking with a firearm in your pocket. Even most stun guns will be too bulky. But a personal alarm of some sort will scare an attacker or would-be robber, and usually attract the attention of passers-by.
Personal safety alarms come in all shapes and sizes, and in different guises from keychains to those that look like cell phones or even home security sensors. Quite a lot even come combined with other self defense mechanisms including popular pepper spray. Others have LED lights and flashlights that are bright enough to temporarily light-blind the person who is assaulting or threatening to assault or rob you at night. More on personal safety training

Most personal safety alarms are designed to make a high-pitched, ear-piercing noise when they are triggered. This is usually enough to send the would-be criminal on his tracks. At very least it will give you time to make a quick getaway or hope that somebody nearby will come to your rescue. Of course it all depends on circumstances. But if you have some sort of personal panic alarm you will certainly be a lot safer.

Think about how an attacker usually responds to a barking, growling dog. While a dog might also bite, if you have some sort of personal alarm, any thinking opponent will realize that this might just be your first line of defense. Most nasty people out to rob or harm other people will prey on those who are not able to defend themselves. So if your alarm screeches out HELP on your behalf, you are already are at an advantage.
A typical personal attack alarm has a pin that you pull when you want to trigger the device. The noise it produces won’t stop until the pin is replaced. But since these pins can be replaced, the best thing is to chuck the pin as soon as you pull it, so your assailant can’t do anything to stop the mayhem.

Other self defense weapons include stun guns and mini stun guns as well as various Mace products and guns that use hot pepper spray. These are all non-lethal as opposed to firearms that can kill and can be dangerous if they get into the wrong hands.

There are also personal safety alarms that you can use in your own home, including devices that are designed to protect your doors and windows when your regular security alarm system is not operating (for example during the day). They include two-in-one door and personal alarms, entry alarms that come together with a remote control, travel guard alarms, door alarms, and glass guard alarms that are specifically designed for window protection.

So whether you want to be safe in your own home or protected when you are out and about the town, be sure to find a personal alarm system that will keep you safe. More on self defense weapons
