Being a single mom, I feel that personal safety is a very important issue. There are times when I have to go to the store late at night, or go shopping alone, and I personally feel you can never be too safe these days. Around Christmas time is actually one of the worst, too, because there are so many thieves about just lurking and waiting to rob you or harm you. They target older people and women. With that in mind, I’ve been considering buying some sort of security product for my car and my person that I feel would help protect me in one of those situations where I’d need to protect myself. What I think I’d prefer to get is something like The Firefly Stun Gun. Granted, it’s no M18 Taser, but it’s small enough that I could carry it in the palm of my hand so that it wouldn’t actually be seen nor expected. At 650,000 volts, it’s a pretty powerful stun gun. It comes with a holster, a safety button, and breakaway key release. My favorite feature other than the power is actually the key chain pepper spray that comes with it. So not only do you get the protection of the stun gun, but you get pepper spray as well. I’ve personally never used pepper spray but I’ve been told it’s pretty painful and effective when trying to ward off an attacker.

What if you are a single mom who works nights? Just imagine being alone in a dark parking lot after work and some weirdo coming up to you and trying to attack you or rob you? Wouldn’t it be awesome if you had the protection of a stun gun? Zap the attacker with the stun gun, then spray pepper spray in his face! That should give you an opportunity to escape. He wouldn’t even be expecting that!
