Think of your home as a castle. It doesn’t matter if your home is secured from the inside. If the outsides of your home are not secured, it wouldn’t matter because criminals can easily take advantage of them. So what’s the point of securing your home from the inside?

Securing your Home from the Inside

Of course, your goal is to make sure that no one can gain unlawful access of your home. If you can keep them out, then you and your home are safe. There are a lot of things that you can do to secure your home. Installing locks is a good start. Make sure that all entry points are locked.

In addition, there are also accessories that you can buy to help keep your home more secure. Check them out and see how they can help you.

Secure your Home from the Outside as Well

This is not a call to just leave the insides and outsides of your home unsecure. If you really want to secure your home, which is a very good idea, you have to do it the right way. Obviously, the right way is to secure your home from the outside as well.

Take Out Blind Spots

Very few criminals barge into homes without knowing what or who is inside. You can bet that they’ll scout your home first. They’ll monitor your home from the outside so they’ll have a good idea as to what they can expect. Oftentimes, they take advantage of blind spots. These are spots that cannot be seen by people from the inside like shadows and behind bushes. If you’re not going to take care of these blind spots, criminals can take their time spying on you. They’ll see that you’re a woman and they’ll know the times when you’re home alone. Of course, they’ll also see that you have the latest in gadgets and appliances. Now, you’re a good and easy target.

Install Surveillance Cameras

This is the best way to secure your home’s perimeter. Install visible surveillance cameras and point them towards strategic locations. Just make sure that every inch of your home’s perimeter is covered. Make sure that there are no blind spots.

How can this help you? Obviously, it can help deter crimes. If criminals see that Big Brother is watching, they’ll just move on to an easier target. Just make sure to install hidden cameras as well for better security.

Just about everybody has heard of stun guns and how effective they are in providing self-defense-nonlethal self-defense I might add. There has been enormous growth in self-defense products in the last 10 years or so. That is attributable to improved technology, lower prices on the products and a wider variety of them. A good example is the flashlight stun gun.

Most people I know have at least several flashlights. They usually have one or two in the house and one in the car for emergencies. A flashlight stun gun can protect you in several ways. First as an emergency signaling device for your car. If you should ever happen to break down on the highway, a flashlight is an almost absolute must. Second, as a nonlethal self-defense product, a flashlight stun gun can keep you out of harms way.

Stun devices work by sending an electrical shock to the nervous system that causes the body to overwork rapidly which depletes all the energy out of the body and causes loss of balance. They can immobilize an attacker for up to 10 minutes or more which is why they are good at self-defense

When it comes to self-defense stun guns are second only to pepper sprays in terms of overall popularity. Flashlight stun guns are growing in popularity because of their flexibility in multitasking. There are probably hundreds of stun gun flashlights on the market today. Here are the best three flashlight stun guns.

The Security Guard brand rechargeable stun device is 6,000,000 volts and is 11 inches long and 2 inches wide. It has an ear-piercing alarm that goes off once the product is activated. It also has a unique “grab guard” feature that is “stun strips carry the electric current down the top of the unit in order to shock anyone who would attempt to take the baton away from you.” This is a valuable feature especially for women who fear the product getting into the wrong hands.

The best of the bunch is the Diablo Stun Flashlight. This amazing product is 4.5 million volts of power. It is a 160 lumen ultra bright flashlight with a glass breaker and self-defense face. It features an accidental discharge safety switch and is only 6.75 inches long in a shockproof durable body made of “type III aircraft grade aluminum”. As with all other Guard Dog products, it comes with an 18% pepper spray canister-a feature that sets it apart from any other flashlight. It is fully rechargeable which saves you money on batteries.

And the Streetwise lightning rod stun pen is 1.5 million volts but is only 6 inches long and is maybe the smallest flashlight stun gun you can get. It will fit into your purse or pocket easily. It is also rechargeable and has a lifetime warranty.

Those are three of the best flashlight stun devices on the market today for your nonlethal self-defense. As you see, all of them are powerful and rechargeable.
