One of the Texas Gang Rapists, Eric McGowen, Jumps Bail.

It happened in 2010, an 11 year old girl was brutally gang raped repeatedly in Texas, by 20 adult and teen males. These horrible rapes were repeated during a 3 month period, in 3 different places and in some cases, were also videotaped.

One of the gang rapists, Eric McGowen,
who jumped bail and raped an
11 year old girl in Texas, in 2010.

Eric McGowen, one of the rapists, decided to jump bail this past Wednesday, after hearing the young girl testify in court. The girl, who's name was not given, due to her age, was shedding tears while describing what was done to her. After listening to her and watching videos of the attack, he apparently knew, that he was doomed to spend time in prison and perhaps for a lifetime. His bail was set for $35,000, but since he jumped it, it has increased now to $250,000.

So presently, we have a rapist on the loose, Eric McGowen, who jumped bail on Wednesday and is running around free. Due to the fact that he actually admitted to being guilty, Texas officials should have locked him and the others, for life! Sexual offenders are repeat offenders and they should never be let out of prison. Now, Texas police are searching for him, but with Mexico near by, they might never find him.

If you live in Texas or near there, keep an eye out for Eric McGowen. One of the men who raped the little girl and is pictured above! For more details on this case, go to the Huffington Post.

17% Pepper means that these self defense weapons have a higher concentration of hot pepper than the average 10%, which is included in other sprays. They are hotter and therefore more painful on an attacker! The $5 sale applies only to soft cases, since the hard cases were sold out.

These self defense weapons can shoot up to 7 feet away and contain approximately 6 shots. They all include a convenient key ring, so it is always available when you open your home door or get into your car. Carry it in your hand in isolated areas or when you are walking in the dark, in stairwells, parking lots, alleys or any other area, where you might be confronted with danger. If you take public transportation, it's very worth while for you, to spend just $5 on a self defense weapon and make sure it is easily accessible, at all times. Many women, just attach the pepper spray ring onto their handbag.

Hurry, before these $5 pepper sprays on sale are gone! Colors left are; red, denim, brown and blue leatherette style holsters.

Pepper Spray, Personal Alarm and Strobe Light Combo!

It's our newest addition to WomenOnGuard.com... An all inclusive, non lethal, self defense weapon that will empower you against any attacker!

They call it the Tornado and it definitely lives up to it's name when it comes to self defense. This pepper spray was designed for the unique needs of a person who might confront danger. Adding powerful features like an alarm and a strobe light are just two items this incredible unit includes. Read more about the Tornado, below:

Tornado Self Defense Features

• Powerful Pepper Spray - 10% Concentration that can reach up to 15 feet
• Alarm with 125 Decibels - Lets others know that you are in danger

• Speed Release Holster - Releases the unit and delivers spray in less than one second
• 3 Safety Parts - Sliding cover, yellow release button and safety tab
• Belt Clip - Convenient clip that attaches to just about anything

We particularly like the Tornado's 3 safety parts, because women with toddlers get worried if their babies get ahold of their pepper spray weapon. Keep in mind that once you are ready to go out, you might want to push down the sliding disable cover and pull out the orange safety pin. So all you have to do in an emergency, is press the yellow button, releasing the unit from it's holster, and press the top button to shoot the pepper! While you are shooting, the strobe light and the alarm, go off automatically!

One more thing, for those of you who like color options for your self defense weapons... It's available in black or pink!

Bicycle Errands on the Rise, Due to Fuel Prices

This trend is not a surprise. Many of us have decided to take our bicycles on short errands, instead of our cars. This is not only cheaper for us, but also healthier and in turn helps the environment as well!

I don't know about you, but for me, riding a bicycle, takes me back to my childhood. It is so invigorating to feel the wind in your face and be totally in control without depending on a 2,000 pound, gasoline guzzling car to take you where you want to go! Plus, it's actually a healthy workout! The sense of freedom you get... to even ride to the beach or lakeside area and not be ticketed or charged for parking! There is a catch though, most of the time, there are cars around and you need to make sure they are aware of your presence and take safety precautions!

This is where the Flashing Safety Light 8 Function LED item comes into play. A must if you ever take your bike out at night. Especially when there are gasoline guzzling cars around... This safety light has 5 super bright LED bulbs that have 7 flashing functions: constant light, fast flashing, slow flashing, middle to end flashing, end to middle flashing, strobe and double blink! It also includes a 120 degree rotatable bicycle attachment for attaching the light and a bright arm band too.

This bicycle safety light is also handy for walkers and joggers.

Disguised to look like a perfume, is what makes this self defense product so powerful. If circumstances are turning somewhat scary, just simply take out the perfume pepper spray by pretending you just want to freshen up, and then, spray it toward the face of that pushy person in front of you! It's that simple. The disguised pepper spray will burn their eyes so bad, that they will need to slam them shut. This will cause temporarily blindness, giving you an opportunity to escape from the scene! Not only will they not be able to see, they will have a coughing attack and their face will feel like it's burning to hell!

This disguised, 18% Perfume Pepper Spray weapon, comes in heart shape and is available in 3 colors; pink, purple and black. We also have a few left in the 17% potency. The 17% round shaped,  17% heart shaped and 17% triangle shaped ones are available at a reduced price because they are being discontinued.

How Old is Your Pepper Spray?

Are you one of those women that bought her pepper spray for self defense, 4 or 5 years ago, and still has it in her purse? If your answer is yes, then that's not a good thing... because it might not work!

Photo by Hillary Stein

Reliable pepper spray usually has an expiration date printed on it. The date is normally on the bottom of the product's canister. Many pepper spray models have a plastic container covering the canister. In order to see the expiration date, you will most likely have to take the bottom lid off the plastic container. Sometimes this little round lid is snapped or screwed on. Many containers have a key ring, which makes it easier for us women to pull the lid off.

Why do self defense sprays need expiration dates, you might ask? Well, we know that pepper can burn for years, but small pressurized canisters can't sustain air pressure too long. If you use an old pepper spray, it will not reach as far or reach anything at all, because the propellent used to keep the pressure high inside of it, eventually over time, will slowly leak out. On a separate note, if your pepper spray has been sitting unmoved for a couple of weeks on a shelf, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a shake. Doing so, might increase the pressure inside of it.

We recommend that women or men, change their pepper spray every two years. Plus, every 6 months or so, shoot a quick spray, to test it. Also make sure that you never leave it, for example, in a very hot car or in the sun, if you are at the beach. Heat will expand the canister and it can explode with the pressure! You don't want to be present if this happens... Stay safe and buy a new Mace or Streetwise pepper spray every couple of years. It's a small price to pay for your self defense!

Can You Buy a Refill for Your Pepper Spray?

Or have you ever heard of such a thing? Many women buy pepper spray for self defense and end up buying an entirely new one, when it's used up. Well, if you are one of those women, we're glad to say that there's no need to do that!

From left to right: Mace Pepper Pen, KeyGuard, Baton and Gun

Mace offers 4 self defense products that we carry, which have refills available! No need to buy the entire product again. These are the Mace Pepper Spray Pen, KeyGuard, Baton and Pepper Gun! Two of these items use the same spray refill canister; the Pen and the KeyGuard. The Baton has a thinner canister, due to it's longer shape. The Gun has 2 available cartridges; one cartridge that contains water for practice, and the pepper cartridge for self defense.

If you go to the detail page of any of these Mace self defense products, the refill information is in a link, at the bottom of the pepper spray's description, right below the price. Of course the Mace refills are also shown in the category listings as well, where you can buy them separately at another time. Plus, when you get your product, always test it once, to see how it works!

Do You Know if the Money in Your Wallet is Counterfeit?

Photo by nateOne

It's a good question, isn't it? Especially with so many people, now a days, using cash instead of credit cards when they go shopping.

When you go to a store and pay for something with cash, especially if it's a large bill, like a $50 or $100, the cashier usually needs to check it with a special pen that detects if the money is counterfeit or not. Well, you can also do the very same thing, when someone hands you mula! Or when you expect some substantial change from the cashier, you just handed your money to!

Don't get ripped off, carry the Counterfeit Money Detector Pen with you at all times. It will come in handy whenever you have physical contact with real cash! This money pen detector is very easy to use, too. Just write a mark with it, anywhere you want on any bill denomination. If your mark turns yellow, it is legit mula, if it turns black or brown, it's a fake. It's that simple and yet many people are getting ripped off because they aren't carrying these essential money detectors!

Did you know that if you unknowingly give a counterfeit bill to a bank, they are obligated to take it from you, but you don't get credit for it? It's like you just threw your mula out the window, and you can't do anything about it.

Beware! Use the Counterfeit Money Detector Pen with cash transactions, and don't get ripped off in this already, unstable economy! It only costs $5 at our store and it's very well worth it!

People that live in big houses aren't the only ones that get robbed or intruded upon! If your home is in a small apartment or studio and needs intruder or burglar protection, this is your best solution.

A recent study has shown that a large portion of the American population, consists of single women and men, living alone. Both sexes can benefit from the Door and Window Alarm (4-pack). Let's face it, most people who's homes are small, usually don't have money to spare and it would be ridiculous to spend an arm and a leg on security. Especially for just a couple of windows and a door in a small apartment or studio! Women in particular will benefit because they, unfortunately, can get the sexual assault intruders, besides the burglars!

Package includes 4 units

These 4 affordable, WIRELESS, little alarms, have a magnetic sensor that will sound a 90 decibel alarm or chime (whichever setting you prefer), if a window or door is opened by an intruder. They each have an on/off switch if you, for example, want to open a window to let fresh air in. They're easy to install in your home for protection and no tools are required! This affordable product is great for women, men or small families. Which brings us to the topic of toddlers. They sometimes like to wonder out the front entrance! These small alarms, will notify you. Children can also get into drawers that might have a weapon in them, you wouldn't want your child going into it either! Needless to say, they're great for security and are practical too!

The Door and Window Alarm is affordable, includes batteries and is easy to install and use, in a small apartment or studio. Don't pay more than you have to for home protection or security!

The Mace Pepper Pen, Perfect for Self Defense in College

It's small, easy to carry around, yet offers you protection from crime. This is a disguised weapon that also writes, like an ordinary pen. No one will ever know the difference, unless of course, you tell them!

Photo by by Parker Michael Knight

Like all Mace sprays, this attractive pepper pen is reliable and handy for college students. This weapon, apart from having self defense spray and being able to write, measures only 5.5 x .5 inches and is also REFILLABLE! This is very convenient, since you don't have to buy another pen, when the pepper spray is used up! Extra pepper spray cartridges are sold separately. Plus, the Mace Pepper Pen, includes a solution with UV Dye, which marks the attacker and helps authority identify a criminal if captured.

College campuses are becoming more and more dangerous... It makes sense for students to have some sort of non lethal defense weapon. Women especially, are more vulnerable since studies have shown that women are 4 times more likely to get raped in college, compared to other women in society. Men also encounter dangers of being bullied or robbed on campus as well.

If you have a child, know of someone that attends college or are yourself attending, this Mace self defense product is a must to carry with you on campus.  But, we would also like to mention that you might consider it perfect to take to work or any other place, for that matter!

For 2 seconds or more, he may fall down or even experience mental confusion. The longer you touch, the worse his condition will get.

Lipstick Stun Gun

This little weapon disguised as a lipstick, also includes a disable pin strap. You can wrap this personal safety strap, that's attached to the lipstick, around your wrist and if your date tries to take it from you, the strap will detach from the device, making it useless.

Dating has never been easier or safer for women. Plus, the Lipstick Stun Gun includes a LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Fall semester starts soon and college students are getting prepared. If you're a parent, you probably are wishing they get good grades and stay out of trouble!

We want you to focus on the "stay out of trouble" or self defense topic. Even though college opens an opportunity for your child's financial success in the future, it also opens him or her to violence, as well. Students now a days, need to carry a pepper spray, stun gun or personal alarm, when they attend college. Having a self defense item may offer your college student, personal safety if they encounter a threat. Get your child a pepper spray or a stun gun to carry around campus and in their dorm. Personal alarms are also very effective on campus, because most institutions have security guards or campus police present.

We also have a "College Safety Package" on our website that contains a pepper spray (in any color you want), a personal alarm with light and key ring and a Stun Gun Pen, that looks more like a magic marker. Any of these self defense items would be perfect for your child's safety.

What Do Mace Triple Action Sprays Contain?

Mace is a well known pepper spray brand, but many people aren't aware that some of their products contain TEAR GAS. In fact, they have 6 Triple Action models that do include this disabling substance!

From left to right: Fogger/Home Model, Leather Plus Model, Personal/Pocket Model, Police Model

The reputable Mace brand that has been around since 1965, was invented by a man who's wife was threatened on the street. Since then, the pepper spray they make now has been strengthened with tear gas and they have 6 products that contain it.

Mace TEAR GAS Defense Spray

• Triple Action Fogger
• Triple Action Fogger Home Model
• Triple Action Leather Plus Model
• Triple Action Personal Model
• Triple Action Pocket Model
• Triple Action Police Model

The reason these self defense products have the word "Triple", is because they contain 3 strong ingredients: Pepper Spray, Tear Gas and a UV Dye. The invisible UV Dye helps police identify an attacker if they are apprehended.

This 3 part solution, when sprayed on the face or especially in the eyes, will cause a burning sensation all over an attacker's face. It will make their eyes slam shut, causing temporary blindness. The attacker will also start to uncontrollably cough and choke, due to the powerful substance!

Take a look at the 6 Mace pepper spray option links listed above, and select the one that's right for you!

Door Stop Thingy has Improved!

Do you remember those brown little things, back in the day, that we used to hold doors open in our homes? If you don't, you probably weren't around in the 60's. But for those of you that were and even those of you that weren't, there is a new and improved version now of that thingy!

Since the 60's or before then, maybe even when they invented doors... people have been using door stoppers. The newest version of this thingy has evolved and gotten slightly larger!

The older versions of this item where mainly used to keep doors open, but the new one is primarily used to prevent intruders from coming in or just for privacy protection! It's called the Door Stop Alarm. Yes, it actually has an alarm that notifies you if someone is trying to trespass. The wedge on this item, prevents a person from coming in uninvited, as well. And of course, you can also use it to keep a door open too! It measures 5 1/2 x 2 x 1 1/2 inches and has a loud 120 db alarm. This home protection product is also convenient to take when you travel because it is great protection for hotel or motel room occupants. This Alarm is also convenient for college dorm rooms! Especially since colleges have students running around everywhere and sometimes there are, uninvited student intruders...

You can take this handy alarm anywhere with you. Unlike pepper spray or stun devices, it's totally allowed on-board air planes and has an on/off switch, to prevent it from going off if you place it, for example, in your suitcase. A perfect solution for privacy control in the home, hotel room, college dorm or anywhere else you might encounter an intruder!

The Mace Jogger was made for the protection of people that exercise outside. It has a velcro strap that keeps it snugly and conveniently in your hand.

Affordable Pepper Spray for Women on a Budget

Do you feel like you need personal protection, but don't know if you can afford it? Most self defense sprays are very reasonably priced, but there is one in particular that is affordable, compact and perfect for women who need it, but can't spend much money.

The Pepper Shot is a compact weapon that women can attach to their key ring and is very cheap, ONLY $6! It's small but actually has the same amount of solution that the typical sprays have, which is a half ounce. The only reason it is affordable, is because it doesn't have a plastic casing or a leatherette holster around it. Actually this product includes a keychain that most other defense sprays lack. This keychain, allows you to leave your keys in the ignition of your car or on the door of your home, and still be able to keep the canister in your hand for self defense. It simply snaps off and becomes available for any self protection emergency! Like most other products on the market, the cheap $6 Pepper Shot, contains 10% pepper concentration and has a UV dye that enables authorities to identify a criminal, if he or she is captured. Not bad for a small cheap $6 spray!

There you have it! The compact Pepper Shot is the best solution for all you budget conscious women out there, that require affordable means of protection for what life sometimes, unfortunately, tosses at us!
