Personal security products
There are a number of different personal security products that can contribute to your personal safety. One of most basic products is mace pepper spray. Spray some of this stuff in an attacker’s face and you will incapacitate them for up to 20-30 minutes, but there will be no permanent physical damage. Mace is perfectly legal to own, carry and use in most states. Another personal security product that is readily available is a personal alarm. These are small, electronic alarms which emit an ear piercing (120+ db) sound when activated. They are designed to draw attention to your situation as well as scare your attacker away.
For protection from animals while out jogging or walking, consider an animal repellent. Specially designed canine mace repellent is available, but regualar mace will do in a pinch. You can also buy an electronic dog repeller, which contains an ultrasonic sound transmitter that emits a high-pitched (so high that we can’t hear it) noise that hurts the dogs ears enough to make them run away. These devices also contain a bright flashing LED strobe light which temporarily blinds the dog. So if you have to walk a ways to your car often, or jog or walk regularly, consider enhancing your personal safety with one of these personal security products.
