If you are not ready to use a Stun gun yet, the Mase Screecher Aerosol Personal Alarm is just what you need.
My brother got laid off in late 2008, so I decided to cut some of my spending in order to help him out. He has a wife and daughter to support and I am single so it was an easy decision for me to make.
I was also scared for my job. In order to make things work I moved to a smaller apartment and got a roommate.
The new apartment that I moved into was not necessarily a "safe" place to live. I felt that I needed a stun gun to walk around with just in case of emergencies.
My apartment mate friend has a little cell phone like stun gun, pretty cute, and she was trying to talk me into getting one like it. At that time I was convinced I would never know how to use a stun gun.
We went to a stun gun shop a couple times and found a few that I actually liked, but until I got the confidence up I decided that I should stick with a personal alarm. The Mace Screecher aerosol alarm was just what I needed.
I was familiar with the Mace brand and that convinced me to buy the extremely loud Screecher alarm. You can here this alarm a fourth of a mile away!
As I was walking home one night I walked past an alleyway. It looked like there was a man robbing a woman in between the two buildings.
I was afraid for my own life so I hurried along and waited until I was out of the alley and there were other people, then I turned on my Mace Screecher aerosol alarm. Was it very loud. I saw him leave her so I think I was right.
