Are Pepper Gel Devices Better for Women or Men?
While women are generally more likely to buy pepper gel pistols compared to men, they’re ideal for anyone who is involved in an active lifestyle or lives in a heavily populated area. These compact devices offer a less-lethal form of self-defense that is easy to use and effective.

Do You Have A Plan? Part two of the multi-blog series on the concepts and pracatices of preparedness.
Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire says, “I’ve always depended on the kindness of strangers.” Is that really a plan for getting by in life? The obvious answer is no. Given the degradation that seems to be going on in American society, the kindness of strangers has been replaced by apathy and voyeurism.
