I don’t know why the the police are surprised that scumbags are attacking the elderly and disabled. They will always go after the weak. That’s why its important to be strong even if you have to carry something extra to give you that strength…like a pepper spray or stun gun — no matter your age.

In Cincinnati Police Detectives say criminals are now attacking disabled people and the elderly.

Investigators said it’s unusual that crooks are targeting those who can’t fight back, and what’s even more outrageous is that they still do it even if they only get away with a few dollars. (more…)

Pepper spray is legal in Wisconsin as long as its not more than 10% concentration. Many people like the woman below believe pepper spray to be illegal in Wisconsin.

A 20-year-old Madison woman who was grabbed and being dragged to an alley Tuesday afternoon got out of the suspect’s grasp by spraying him in the face with pepper spray, Madison police reported.

The woman didn’t report the attack until the next day, fearing she’d get in trouble for having pepper spray.

Not so.

“In Madison, it is legal to possess pepper spray and use it in self-defense,” said Madison Police spokesman Joel DeSpain.

The incident happened around 1:30 p.m. Monday on State Street near Lake Street.

“A disheveled man grabbed her by the wrist and tried to pull her into an alley,” DeSpain said. “After she sprayed him in the face, he let go of her arm, put his hands to his face and bellowed out a swear word.”

“The investigating officer told her this was a serious incident that needed to be reported immediately so police might have a better chance of arresting a suspect,” DeSpain said.

This real incident illustrates a valid reason why anyone venturing into the woods should use bear spray. Especially you people in New York. Use against the bears in the woods and in the city.

A hiker in Teton Canyon used pepper spray to fended off a reported grizzly bear Sunday, Wyoming Game and Fish officials said Thursday.

Former Colorado resident Chris Laing was hiking about a mile up the north fork of the Teton Creek Trail, the trail that goes to Table Mountain, when “he contacted a reported grizzly bear sow with two cubs of the year,” Wyoming Game and Fish Specialist Mike Boyce said.

The bear was apparently chasing Laing’s dog when it veered off and headed for Laing.

The bear charged three times before being deterred by the spray.

“The bear got as close as five feet,” Boyce said. “He sprayed the bear with bear spray on all three charges and was able to get out of there uninjured.”

Boyce said he thought the man’s dog was a factor in provoking this bear.

“The bear was just … defending her cubs,” he said.

An investigation of the incident couldn’t confirm the type of bear because of poor tracking conditions, but “the behavior that this bear displayed was confident with aggressive, defensive grizzly bear behavior,” Boyce said.

The Forest Service has since posted warning signs on the trail, but the trail is not closed.

The bear and her cubs were behaving naturally and will not be captured or killed, Boyce said.

“We’re just planning on closely monitoring the situation up there,” he said.

Boyce recommends hiking with at least one other person, making plenty of noise, keeping dogs under control and carrying a defense such as bear spray and knowing how to use it.

“That’s one thing Chris did very well,” Boyce said. “[Bear spray] was effective in this incident. He was able to get out of there without injury.”

There’s  a serial rapist on the loose in Yoakum, TX and  Cassandra McGinty has a new sequence when she arrives home: search room to room, with a stun gun in her hand. (more…)

Stun guns are non-lethal weapons that are sometimes used as personal security devices for self-defense. These weapons use a high-voltage current that is activated by the user when an attacker or aggressive person is physically threatening the person with the stun gun.   (more…)
