Personal & Home Safety

Why I Sell Personal Safety Items

Well, this long term government financial disability has finally been nicknamed a recession, but we'vie known it all along. So come the layoffs, the auto industry in shambles, plants closing everywhere. And with it, has come an increase in store robberies, personal attacks and muggings, and home burglaries. It's on TV news and in the statistics; robberies, purse snatchings, smash and grabs, identity thefts, and I am afraid it's going to get worse before it gets better. That's how it just usually works.

We need personal safety. We need to even out the odds. Especially those of us women who are out alone. Muggers and purse snatchers and even smash and grabbers work daytime shift. Because that's when we're out. They wait by mall parking lots, ATM Machines, by your car outside the bank or the grocery store, you may even be a target right now, by someone who knows your routine and is waiting for the right moment.

You, or someone you love, needs that little bit of extra personal security. Items such as a pepper spray that comes on a keyring, or a pepper spray that looks like a like lipstick. Our pepper sprays have a locking actuator so it can't be ripped out of your hand and used on you. Easy for anyone to use. But painful, irritating, and disabling enough to put your attacker down in plenty of time for you to get away or call for help if you are wheelchair bound. You may want to also consider our personal alarm which doubles as a flashing light and a 125 decibel alarm that only you can deactivate via the hidden switch. It can also be used as a regular flashlight in dark areas for added security.

Make your life, or the life of someone you love, a little easier and a little safer.

Another effective means of personal safety is a stun gun. We have several different sizes and shapes to fit every need. Many of ours are safe and simple to use for older people. If an attacker rips the device out of someones grasp, it will be disarmed from the wrist strap not being attached to it. Some of our stun batons cannot be taken away by an attacker because they electrified all the way to the tip.

If you or someone you care about lives alone, you may want to consider a home security product such as a motion detector, a wireless home security system, or an autodialer security and safety alarm. If you don't want to go that big, we do carry small, less expensive home security devices such as a Magnet Door Alarm, the Super Door Stop Alarm, the Window Alert, or the Sport Strobe which comes with a 116 decibel blast. We also have several diversion safes to hide valuables.

Whatever decision you decide to make about personal and home safety, we, at This Grandma's Got It would like to help. If you have questions about any of our products or how they work, or help making the right purchase, just email or call. Some of our items (stun guns, etc.) are illegal in some states, we can assist with any questions regarding this, also.

I was a victim twice of an attempted purse snatching in one week, both times right by my home town police station!

I never had anything happen to me, then twice in one week, I was attacked while just sitting in my car . Both times it was in MY OWN HOME TOWN. And both times it was in broad daylight. And get THIS-I could see the police station across the street both times! Well-neither time did I let them get my purse! My husband works way too hard for our money. And before I had time to get scared, I got MAD! But I wondered if I would be so lucky next time. My husband got me a stun baton and a stun cell phone. Both with disabling wrist straps. I carry them. And I will use them.

The items offered for home and personal safety include enough of a variety that most anyone can purchase within their price range and item type in regards to ease of use. I want to make as much as possible available to grandma, and woman in general as far as options. Plus, I am keeping my prices competitively low, especially for those seniors on fixed income.

Items on this page are great for your personal safety, and the security of your home, camper, hotel room, and car. We also have DIVERSION SAFES - the best place to hide anything is in plain sight. The diversion safes are unique home-security products that look like authentic household products and food containers, but with with removable tops and bottoms to store valuables. We offer the Pool Alarm, Child Safety Alarm, Secure Dog®, Motion Detectors, wireless home security systems with autodialers, and more, all at very reasonable prices. The added peace of mind knowing that you and your family are a little safer is well worth it.

How Stun Guns Work

* STUN GUNS are made for anyone to use. They come in different sizes and shapes, and they discharge different levels of current. When a stun gun comes in contact with skin, the muscles underneath are suddenly very rapidly and extremely overworked. Neurological impulses that allow voluntary muscle movement are also interrupted. The attacker looses his balance, is unable to function, and that allows time for you to escape.

Should the attacker be touching you, the current will NOT pass to your body! Even if you or your attacker are wet or standing in water, you will not get shocked from the stun device!

The Stun Master® stun devices, the "Pretender" cell phone stun guns the flashlight stun guns, and the 300,000 volt stun baton, all come with disabling wrist straps. If the attacker grabs the device from you, the wrist strap is still around your wrist and the device is disabled so he cannot turn around and use it on you. The other stun batons are electrified all the way to the end. If the attacker tries to grab it out of your hand, he will get shocked. (Cell phone stun guns are not able to work as cell phones)

About Pepper Spray

In addition to causing an attacker pain, Pepper Shot swells the mucous membranes, which makes breathing difficult, and swells the veins in the eyes, causing the eyes to close.
