How to Protect Yourself on City Streets ?

Street crime is on the increase in most large U.S. cities. It is also becoming more prevalent in small communities. The following list of "safeguards" will help protect you - and may save your life!
  • When leaving home, make sure that all doors and windows are locked - including the garage door.The same when you leave your car, make sure all the doors are locked and the windows rolled up.
  • When walking, walk purposefully, with head up, eyes forward, and in a steady manner. Avoid looking confused or disoriented, or as if you are lost (even though you may be). If you are lost, go to the nearest wee-lighted, populated area.
  • Watch for loiterers and do not carry large sums of money.
  • If possible, travel with another person. This is especially true after dark.
  • When carrying a purse, women should have only 3 or 4 one dollar bills placed inside. Credit cards, currency, driver's license, keys and jewelry should be carried in a coat or sweater pocket or concealed on your person to reduce the opportunity of large losses.

Pepper Pager, Folding Knives, Cell Phone Stun Guns are some of the best products for street protection. They are easy to carry. LylaJ's deal in all such kind of products. We have a huge catalogs of self defense products.



Some people think wrapping purse strap around their shoulder, neck or wrist will help guard against purse-snatchers. If your purse is grabbed, a strong strap will not yield easily and you may be injured.If you do carry a purse, don't wrap the strap around your shoulder, neck or wrist.A strong strap will not yield easily and you may be injured. Some victims have been thrown off balance and received , broken hips, arms or legs. Don't carry anything more valuable than you can afford to lose. If your purse is grabbed, let the attacker have it, and save yourself from potential harm. The purse shouldn't have much valuable in it anyway.



  • At night, travel only in well-lighted and well-traveled streets. Avoid unlighted areas. Walk in the middle of the sidewalk and never loiter in deserted areas.
  • Never hitchhike or accept rides from strangers.
  • Walk on the side of the street nearest to oncoming traffic. If accosted by someone in a car, run in the direction opposite the way the car is headed.
  • Beware of people who approach asking directions; keep a polite but safe distance.
  • A good suggestion for men is to carry a second wallet containing a few one dollar bills and old expired credit cards, which are normally destroyed or discarded. If confronted at knife or gunpoint, give the suspect the second wallet and concentrate o a good physical description to help the police in making the arrest.
  • Upon returning home, particularly after dark, do not linger at the entrance of your residence. Mike a quick check for mail or newspapers, and enter immediately. If you feel something is strange, don't enter but go elsewhere and call for police assistance.
  • If you feel someone is following you, go to the nearest occupied residence or building and ask for assistance.
  • Do not make yourself an obvious target. Avoid wearing expensive, noticeable clothing or jewelry if you are going to be on the streets.
  • If you are confronted with a dangerous situation, cry out for assistance. Yelling "FIRE! FIRE!" instead of "HELP!" will generally bring faster attention.

Protecting Home From Intruders

Crime is on the rise all across the country, so it is important to know how to remain safe from dangerous predators. The best self-defense tip available is simply to do everything you can to avoid being a victim and be ready to strike back if you should have to.

It is good to remember that most criminals will look for easy targets they can surprise and overpower, so don't ever give a predator a reason to choose you. Whenever you are out, pay close attention to your surroundings. Be aware of the people near you, walk deliberately whether by yourself or with others, and hold your head up to show you are confident and secure. You may also want to make brief eye contact with people you pass so they know you have seen them.

I would like to share some tips to protect your Home from Intruders:


Protect your home by starting where the burglars usually start - outside.

Landscaping:
Look around. Are large trees near the house? Prune lower limbs that could help a thief climb in second floor windows. Trim trees and bushes so a burglar cannot use them for cover. High wooden fences also allow a burglar to work unnoticed. Remember to lock up ladders and tools. Ask your neighbors to do the same. Trellises look great, but place them where they cannot be used as ladders to the second floor.

Lighting:
Criminals avoid the spotlight. Porches, yards, and all entrances to your home and garage should be well lit. Ask your police or sheriff's department for suggestions about lighting.

Your House Number:
Make sure law enforcement or fire agencies can locate your house in an emergency. Your house number should be clearly visible from the street day and night. Use numbers that are 6 inches high and made of reflective materials or black numerals against a white background. Avoid script numbers - they can be confusing. If your house is some distance from the road, post the number at the driveway entrance. If you live on a corner, make sure the number faces the street named in your address.

Windows:
You can buy special key locks for windows at a hardware store. Ask for locks best suited to your type of windows and get the installation instructions. Keep the keys away from the windows, but make sure everyone in the house knows where to find them in case of an emergency. Be sure to check with your local law enforcement agency or housing officials to see if they restrict installation of these locks. An easy, inexpensive way to secure double-hung windows is to use a nail. Drill an angled hole through the top frame of the lower window partially into the frame of the upper window. Then insert a nail or an eyebolt. The window cannot be opened until you remove the nail.

Make a second set of holes with windows partially open so you can have ventilation without inviting intruders. For sliding windows, try the preventative tips suggested for sliding doors.

Doors Hinged Doors:
Entry doors should be solid core wood (at least 1 3/4 inches thick) or metal. Most hollow core doors can be easily broken through. They offer little protection, no matter what locks you use. Your door should fit its frame tightly - with no more than 1/8-inch clearance between the door and frame. If the gap is too large, replace the door. If that is too expensive, bolt a sturdy metal strip to the door edge. You boost your protection and save energy. Any hardware dealer can show you the kind of strip to use. Doors with decorative glass panels or windows are an easy mark. It takes only seconds to break the glass and unlock the door. If you do not want to replace the door, install a break-resistant plastic panel or decorative grill over the glass. Attach the grills with non-removable screws. Most door hinges are on the inside, safe from a burglar's tools. If hinges are on the outside, the hinge pins can be easily removed and the door taken out of the frame. To protect such doors, replace hinges with new ones with non-removable pins.

Sliding glass doors:
Burglars look for sliding glass doors because they are easy to open. Several types of locks are made especially for these glass doors. The existing lock can be bolstered by placing a solid strip of wood in the track of the closed door. That helps block the door even if the lock is broken. Determined thieves may lift the door off its tracks. Use these preventative tips:

Adjust rollers so the door cannot be pushed up enough to lift it off the track. Insert screws along the upper track of the door. Leave enough room for the door to slide, but not enough space to lift the door out.

Drill a hole and insert a nail through the inside frame and part way through the metal door frame. You can remove the nail, but a burglar cannot.

Locks:
Deadbolt Locks
A deadbolt lock can provide good protection. When you turn the key, the lock mechanism slides a strong metal bolt from the door into the frame. When you buy a deadbolt lock, make sure:
  • The bolt extends at least 1 inch from the edge of the door (has a 1-inch thro).
  • The connecting screws that hold the lock together are on the inside of the door.
  • The strike plate is attached to the door frame with screws that measure at least 3 inches.
  • The cylinder has a steel guard - a ring around the key section. The cylinder guard should be tapered or rotated around the key to prevent wrenching if twisted.

Double-Cylinder Deadbolt Locks:
To improve security on a door with glass panels, use a double-cylinder deadbolt lock. These locks can only be opened with a key from either side. Keep keys near the door, but not within reach of the glass panel. That way intruders cannot get in, but you and your family can get out quickly in case of fire or other emergency. Check with your local law enforcement agency or housing officials before you install this lock. Some communities restrict its use.

Padlocks:
Padlocks are typically used for garages, sheds, and workshops. Look for a sturdy padlock that does not release the key until the padlock is locked. Be sure the padlock is case-hardened with a 3/8-inch shackle so it can resist bolt cutters. A double-locking design can prevent the shackle being pried away from its case. Remember that a padlock is only as good as the hasp on which it is mounted. The hasp should be secured with bolts that are concealed when the padlock is locked. All the hardware in the world will not protect you if you open your door without checking who is on the other side. Buy an inexpensive viewer. Tell your children and their babysitters not to open the door to strangers

Remember, always use your locks. Even a five-minute trip to the store is long enough for a burglar to enter you home.

Security Alarms:

If you desire additional security, you might consider a burglar alarm system. Be sure you deal with a reputable firm that provides approved systems. Check with the Better Business Bureau.

LylaJ's Stun Guns Self Defense Products


Self defense products like stun guns, pepper sprays, Tasers etc. have received a lot of publicity in the last few years. You get a dose every day on television or the internet on how they are used or misused.

They have been used for decades by military and law enforcement personnel because they work so well. The track record proves it.

They have become popular in the civilian community largely due to the increase in crime over the years, improvements in the products, and widespread availability on the internet.

Crime is everywhere. Crime against persons and property has gotten to the point where individuals need to learn how to protect themselves and their families. The police just can’t do it all.

Some have a difficult time dealing with the moral issue of using a lethal weapon in defending yourself, family and property. So you have made a conscious decision to get a stun gun. That is the easy part. Deciding on the right one can be confusing.

Remember a STUN GUN like any self defense product is meant to give you time to get away from a dangerous situation. They are not meant to injure anyone. However, you also need to be alert to your surroundings, stay out of dangerous places, and take appropriate action-in other words-USE COMMON SENSE!!

When we talk about stun guns it is a big topic. There are literally hundreds of choices in stun guns from as many as 9-10 different manufacturers each with its’ own complete product line. We carry the biggest selection of stun guns available on the internet.

A stun gun is a handheld device that has a trigger (button) and two or more metal prongs at the end of the unit that when activated sends 80,000 to 1.2 million volts to the assailant. This causes disruption in the body’s neurological impulses that control muscle movement overwhelming the neuromuscular system causing the victim to lose balance and become confused.

The energy stored in the gun is dumped into the attacker’s muscles causing them to do a great deal of work rapidly. This makes the assailant unable to produce energy for his muscles and his body is unable to function properly. The assailant will be unable to move for about 3-10 minutes because his blood sugar is depleted. This allows the victim enough time to get away and get help.

Some stun guns can be disguised as FLASH LIGHTS or CELL PHONES.

Stun guns are not legal in some states. Check with your local police department first before you get one.

So, what are you waiting for checkout our huge selection of "Stun Guns " and get the best one for yourself.
