As far as I’m concerned every woman in the US of A should be carrying Lipstick Pepper Spray. Nothing could be easier to conceal or carry, and I guarantee you that if you use it on a mooks face he won’t be the least bit worried about you.

He’ll be extremely busy trying to keep it together while his brain tells him his face is on fire. His brain will be busy sending him other signals as well, such as:

“Your eyes are closing.”

“You are now having serious trouble breathing.”

“The pain is getting worse and worse.”

Most of the time we are sympathetic to pain, and would feel for somebody in this position.

But not if you know the mook had ugly intentions. And believe me your body can tell the difference between a predator and the average doofus. Your body sends unmistakable signals when a predator appears on the radar screen.

In this situation you go into full blown defense mode as soon as possible, and remember that you have 20 sprays in the lipstick container. The face is always the best place to hit, but the arms, chest, back, will get a reaction too.

The reason to hit a mook in the face with the pepper spray is to affect their sight and breathing. The pepper will close the eyes, and make the mook tear up in a big way. The pepper also causes very shallow breathing, where the mook has to huff to get enough air.

Forget all about sympathy, and vamoose the area as fast as possible. Get as far away as possible, because in 30 minutes the mook is going to be back to normal. He is going back into predator mode when the pepper wears off. He may stay away from you, but he will still be a predator, because these guys just don’t learn.

In addition to being big on protection, and easy to conceal, Lipstick Pepper Spray is bargain priced. At three cents a day, you should have one for every woman in the family, and give them away as presents. Someday someone will thank you for your decision, I guarantee it.

If you’re prepared, you’ll never be surprised,

I was thumbing through some information on the human brain when I saw a very intriguing story about chimps, which I guess really aren’t monkeys, but close enough that you could call them “Cuzz” and get away with it.

Researchers, those four eyed wonders with the lab coats, have observed female chimpanzees making wooden spears, which they use for two things, putting chow on the table, and defending their brood.

Interesting to me is the fact that it is the females who make the weapons, and who pass the knowledge down to the youngunz.

Now if I am to believe in evolution, I want to know when exactly did men become the hunters, and munitions experts, if this was a female trait, as evidenced by the chimp behavior. What kind of landmine got stepped on to alter the genetic code?

And I guess this means that all that stuff about women being the fairer sex is hogwash.

The women of the modern era could learn something from their chimp cousins, according to my scientific study. I have just donned a lab coat and spectacles, and I think that this kindler gentler act doesn’t play.

The chimp women have even been observed throwing their spears at other species that violate their turf, and showing the youngunz how its done.

Very interesting stuff, given that today maybe one  woman in a thousand is capable of defending herself. Men are losing ground very fast here too.

I remember watching a gorilla at the zoo sometime back, and watching in amazement as the male, who weighed about 500 pounds, pulled himself up a wall using just its fingers.

Using a single exercise as a standard, how many men or women today can do one pull up?

My guess is one woman out of a thousand, and one hundred men.

Which means that if you can’t do a pull up, you really can’t protect yourself very well at all.

When you see one of those bodybuilding apes at the gym, ask them if they can do a pull up. If they can’t, its all show and no go.

This is something mooks understand, and use to intimidate. You can say one thing about mooks for sure, and that is that they are usually in pretty good shape. They have to be, because they are predators, and if there is no mark, they prey on each other, which means its kill or be killed.

That is why it is paramount to be tooled and schooled. You only have seconds to respond if you should happen to cross into mook territory, or they invade yours, which is the more likely scenario.

You are not king of the hill unless you can defend your turf. You can learn that from watching kids play king of the mountain. See who ends up on top.

Those female chimps get the message, and are fashioning tools to defend themselves.

Who is more evolved, them, or us?

Get your tools now, and it wouldn’t hurt to work out some too.

One pull up. Just one.

If you’re prepared you’ll never be surprised,

Over the past year or so Julee has written several emails to me, and most of them were not to harmonize with me or the business. Julee expressed several times that she thought I was violent, and not only that, I promoted violence.

Nothing could be further from the truth, but Julee kept sending her diatribes on a fairly regular basis, trying to get me to change. I never answered any of her emails because she has never purchased anything from Safety Technology, and spending any time with, or on critics is a waste of time.

Last Thursday I got another letter from Julee, and I was going to delete it, but some voice said no, so I opened it.

Whoa Nellie!

I could hardly believe what I was reading.

It was an apology for all the other emails, and she stated very eloquently that I was right, and she had been wrong. A close friend of hers had been attacked and beaten the previous week, and was still in the hospital when she wrote. She faced the possibility of weeks in the hospital, and hopefully there won’t be any permanent damage. As her friend lay in the hospital bed she said, “If only I had something to defend myself with.”

Julee said that hit her like a two by four between the shoulder blades. She ordered up some Mace Pepper Gel that afternoon, and after consulting with her husband over the weekend placed an order for three other products.

It shouldn’t have to happen this way, but it does more often than I would like. Some folks just don’t believe until the evidence is staring them straight in the face. In this case it’s a friend, but it can happen to anyone, family, friend, co-worker, or casual acquaintance, not to mention those we have no immediate connection to.

Julee mentioned that she would be carrying protection from now on, not just buying and leaving it in a drawer. That is key. Carrying a stun gun, or pepper spray, or a steel baton should be just like putting your wallet in your back pocket, or your keys in your front pocket. I never go anywhere without patting myself to make sure I have something on me at all times.

That means even to go to a convenience store to get a coffee, or soda. That means even to go to a doctors office, or the post office. I carry everywhere except for that check in in airports, but I pack items in a suit case so I can retrieve them immediately when I land.

I sent Julee a nice reply, now that she is a member of the family.

But don’t wait, don’t hesitate, don’t let a friend get severely beaten before you act. Act now, protect yourself now, and avoid that kind of situation.

You may only need to be protected once in your lifetime, but wouldn’t you rather be more ready than not?

Julee’s friend may have walked away unharmed if she had Mace Pepper Gel with her when the mooks struck. She could have been standing there and listening to the mooks howl at the moon after they had been doused, instead of lying in a hospital bed.

If you’re prepared, you’ll never be surprised,
