Streetwise 23 Products- A New Level Of Hotness

click for more info

Streetwise brand, a major manufacturer of defensive sprays and other self-defense products, has introduced a new measurement tool that is based on the heat of the pepper once it is sprayed out of the container. The reason this is important is because once the spray comes out of its canister it becomes diluted with air and the propellant used to force it out of the container.

This new measurement tool is called a Certified Heat Rating or CHR. The results come from an independent laboratory so are unbiased. By comparison, most brands tested have an average heat rating of 123,000 SHUs, but the new Streetwise Pepper Spray models have a CHR of 230,000 SHU’s or close to 87% hotter than the competition.

Why is this important? When your life is on the line you want to have a product that is the most effective for the money. So when you’re in the market for an OC spray do your homework, and look for comparisons based on the Certified Heat Ranking instead of just the SHU. The new defensive sprays from Streetwise are the equivalent of 5 million SHU’s making them among of the hottest in the world.

Sabre Runner Pepper Spray- A Runner’s Best Friend

click for more info

Believe it or not walkers and runners are very susceptible to assaults. Think about it. They usually run in relatively remote areas away from congestion and other people and a lot of runners that I know run at what I consider to be weird times-early a.m. or dusk or later.

There are a lot of products on the market that are designed to help protect them in an assault situation but one of the newest is by Sabre brand called the Runner Spray.

It is a 3/4 ounce container of 10% solution of oleoresin capsicum. It fires a ballistic stream up to 10 feet away and has enough for approximately 35 shots. The ballistic stream is so powerful that it helps reduce wind blow-back. It has a reinforced safety switch that prevents accidental discharge and includes a comfortable and adjustable hand strap. It is available in both pink and black.

It is also very effective against dog attacks.

Sabre brand is noted for its’ increased percentage of Major Capsaicinoids (MC). Many police agencies use a .18% of MC. Saber red is .67% so it is about four times stronger. Can you say OUCH?

Home Security Tips-The Real Value Of Neighborhood Watch-Safety Tip Of The Week

click image for more details

Last week I attended some training for the neighborhood watch program where I am block Captain for my building. The lead trainer, who is a volunteer, talked a lot about home security issues in general safety issues affecting the city-namely the shortage of police officers in the current budget crisis.

He pointed out the importance of the neighborhood watch program, especially now with fewer police officers on the payroll. He told us that burglaries for example were up 10% in the city last year and so far this year were up 15%-one of the few areas of crime that’s on the increase.

We talked about some ideas that could be used to help improve your home security. Right at the top of the list were motion activated spotlights and security cameras. Our trainer told us that real security cameras can be expensive and that Fake Security Cameras were a viable alternative.

I found out that the local police department does training classes for both personal security and home security depending on availability of officers. They will even do a home safety audit.

He recommends keeping some Self Defense Products located around the house in case of a home invasion.

Pepper Spray Subdues Suspect

click for more detailed INFO

This is the story about a man who was a suspect in a crime of carjacking. When he was stopped by police he became extremely belligerent kicking and spitting at police officers-never a good idea! Officers had to use pepper spray to get him under control.

You can read the whole story right HERE

You can get the same kind of pepper spray that law enforcement officers use. It is called Fox Pepper Spray made by Fox labs. It is 5.3 million SHU’s-a common measurement of hotness of pepper spray. Most pepper sprays are in the 2 million range. One even claims to be 3 million SHU’s. The habanero pepper, generally considered to be the hottest you can get, is in the 200,000 SHU range.

This model fires a heavy stream up to as far away as 20 feet. It contains UV dye so when you spray an assailant police later identify him.

Police Cadets Experience Pepper Spray

Police cadets are those young men and women who voluntarily want to be police officers. They undergo extensive training and testing before they graduate some as long as 18 weeks.

In Huntsville, Alabama a class is in their fourth week-the week of pepper spray training. They are subjected to a healthy dose of pepper spray to see what it is like to be sprayed on one hand to see how effective it is but more importantly to learn how to fight thru it should they be accidentally sprayed.

“It’s important for them to know what they’re carrying and experience with it… You might have out in the field, when applying it, over spray in windy conditions. Or you may have another officer spray you, and you may have suspect spray you… You just never know… and you need to know how to fight through it,” said Lt. Darryl Lawson, the Director of Training.

You can read the whole story HERE.

Pepper Spray is on average close to 90% effective. Fox Labs Pepper Spray is twice as effective as the average defensive spray because it is nearly three times as hot as most sprays.

It should be noted that every police officer in the country goes thru similar training and carries some form of pepper spray on his utility belt. Many carry and use Fox Labs Products.

Self Defense-Pepper Spray Tips

Every law enforcement officer in the country carries a pepper spray. It is really his first option after a lawful command is not followed. Since the 1980’s when the FBI authorized the use of pepper spray, civilian usage has gone out of sight. It is a primary nonlethal self defense weapon for female self defense. Pepper spray or OC spray as it is sometimes called is by far the most popular self defense item in the world.

The main ingredient in pepper spray is the resin of one of the hottest peppers in the world-cayenne pepper-oleoresin capsicum (that’s where the OC comes from).

Pepper spray is such a powerful tool that is not legal in all countries. It is legal in all of the 50 United States but some states have restrictions in the amount of oleoresin capsicum that can be used.

Once the resin makes contact with the skin, it swells the mucus membranes of the nose making breathing difficult. It also causes the membranes of the eyes to swell up which makes it difficult to see. There is intense pain associated with pepper sprays along with coughing and choking. Effects are not long-lasting and will go away after about 45 minutes.

I have always maintained that knowing the proper way to use something increases the effectiveness of the product. Here are some tips to help you get the most out of your pepper spray.

1. Pepper sprays are on average, close to 90% effective. They are almost always used outdoors and wind conditions can affect the accuracy of your aim. So make sure you take that into account.

2. Always read and follow the directions of a new product you get.

3. The contents of all pepper sprays are pressurized and can explode if left in a car, for example. Always keep them in a cool ventilated place.

4. Pay attention to the expiration date on the bottom of your pepper spray. They are usually good for three years.

5. When using the pepper spray aim for the eyes, but if you hit anywhere on the face that’s okay.

6. And practice using your pepper spray so that you know where the safety is to prevent accidental discharge. Some pepper sprays have grips so that you can hold it in the dark without fear of holding it the wrong way.

7. When you spray an assailant don’t stand around admiring your work. Pepper sprays allow you time to escape a dangerous situation. Go get help or just get away.

Follow these tips to get the most out of your pepper spray.
