Self Defense a Must for Public Transportation

If you take public transportation, you know that there are plenty of shady looking characters out there that also use your city's public service.

I know, because I was dependent on the fast transit system in Atlanta, GA, way back in the day… Believe you me, it was not fun taking public transportation during the dark winter months, when the sun would go down, by 5:30 PM! It was during that time, when I decided to purchase a self defense weapon that turned out to be a non lethal 200,000 volt stun gun.

If you take public transportation, be it fast transit or a city bus, you need to carry a self defense weapon in your pocket, purse or backpack. A non lethal, Mace personal protection product, Streetwise pepper spray, stun gun or even a Taser, would help keep you safe when one of these shady characters gets a bit too close! Many people, as I did, have to walk through large parking lots, to eventually get into their car and take a short drive home. Carrying a pepper spray, stun gun or Taser enabled and ready in your hand, is of crucial importance, in order to avoid violence against you.

Just like you need a seat belt to drive your car, you should carry a self defense product for personal protection. I know, I felt much safer and empowered when I got that weapon, years ago! You too, should not worry about a shady or violent character harming you! Check out our pepper spray, stun guns and Tasers at WomenOnGuard.com. Feel safer while taking public transportation.

Public Transportation Can Be Dangerous

Many Americans are turning to public transportation to go to work and back. With gas prices almost hitting the $4 mark, it's no wonder that we are! One thing that we need to be concerned about when taking public transportation is personal safety. This has been an issue in the past and it is still a concern today. I'm not referring to the mechanical issues occurring lately but rather the criminal issues.

Let's face it, when you take the bus, trolly or train, you no longer have the personal safety you had while you sat in your own car, with your doors locked! This points to a must have for you, especially if you're a woman, you need a personal safety product. A personal safety product such as a personal alarm, pepper spray or stun gun, is a must if you take public transportation. In fact 20 years ago, I started taking public transportation in Atlanta, and purchased a stun gun, just to go through the huge parking lot at my neighborhood's train station! It got pretty scary during the dark winter months, after 5 PM.

Personal safety products are very affordable. You can purchase a pepper spray from our store for as low as $6 or even a Mace Emergency Whistle for just $4.95. There simply is no excuse for not carrying some protection!
