Welcome to Self Defense Blog
You certain you need some sort of self defense device to defend yourself and your family
from potential crime situation. But it is not an easy choice with so many self defense products on www.mydefensesupersore.com. Here you can find out the difference between self defense
products, how they work and which one meets your security needs most.
There are three main categories of defense items: pepper sprays, stun guns, personal alarms.
- Pepper sprays
The active element in pepper sprays is OC (oleoresin capsicum. OC is a natural, oily material resulting from hot peppers. Pepper sprays make an almost immediate burning sense of the skin and a burning, tearing, and swelling for the eyes. If pepper spray is inhaled, the respiratory tract becomes inflamed resulting in a swelling of the mucous
membranes lining the breathing passages and for the moment restricting breathing to short breaths.
Some people ask what the difference between pepper spray and mace is. Mace is just a name of brand. The firm Mace International produces self defense sprays and security devices. In our opinion Mace has the most powerful spray - Triple Action pepper spray. It combines OC pepper and CN tear gas which causes plentiful tearing, a powerful burning
feeling to the face and disorientation.
Self-defense sprays have been on the market for more than 30 years and were used mostly by law enforcement officers. But in the past 5-15 years pepper sprays have seen increasing use by regular people. We think that self-defense sprays are probably the best solution for personal protection. They are cheap, small, don't require special training, have a good range to keep an assailant away and stop attacker immediately without causing any permanent injury.
- Stun Guns
When a stun gun is used it interrupts the contact signals from the brain to the body. A stun gun does not damage a person permanently it only for the moment disrupts the way our body works. A stun gun does not cause damage in the long run because the electricity that it delivers into a attacker's body is very high voltage but low amperage electrical charge and the charge is not intense enough to cause any long term harm to the person.
When you press the stun gun against a individual, a few things happen contributing to their following condition. The electric shock delivered by your stun gun will combine with the electric signals from the attacker’s brain and this will confuse his body and make it hard to move. Another effect of stun gun is causing an attacker to do extreme amounts of work directed towards nothing in a particularly short period. This will use all of the person’s power so that he will temporarily be unable to do anything.
When used, the stun gun generates a bright electrical blast that is quite
frightening and makes a loud noise that will attract the attention
of anyone within earshot.But stun guns have one weakness: the stun guns probes must be touching the attacker to be useful. Also stun guns use batteries to provide the electrical charge and as with all battery-powered devices, the chance of battery being dead is always present.

Personal alarms.
Personal alarms are electric or aerosol devices that create a very loud screech or siren sound. The personal alarm distracts an assailant and makes him scared of the attention. The most apparent weakness of personal alarms is their inability to disable an attacker. The personal alarms might help in some cases but if the assailant is determined, he can carry on even with the loud siren of alarm.
