With Independence Day just around the corner I feel a sense of pride in our country and all who have fought for our rights but also a sense of responsibility.
I feel it is my responsibility to defend myself against those who would do me harm. Our law enforcement just cannot be everywhere at once. I appreciate them completely but feel I must do my part and be responsible for myself first.
Happy Independence Day Everyone!!!
I was reading in our local paper today about a young college woman. She was walking back to her apartment after visiting a friend and heard footsteps behind her. She kept walking and reached into her purse and took out her taser. Then, she suddenly stopped, quickly turned around and “threatened” her potential attacker with her C2 taser. She tells the story that he backed off immediately.
While we’ll never know if the man was, indeed, going to attack her, rather than taking a chance and becoming a victim, the woman was proactive and defended herself. She said she felt empowered knowing she had a way to protect herself. I say Congratulations to her for making her Self Defense her responsibility.
In the world we live in today, there is an absolute necessity for people to learn some type of Self Defense technique. Not necessarily karate or tae kwondo (or any other of the amazing martial arts), but simple “automatic” responses to a dangerous situation. There are a large array of Self Defense Videos from renowned experts that can teach you techniques and skills that will protect you and, possibly, save your life. If your time is extremely limited -and whose isn’t?- being able to learn these techniques from home are convenient time savers (not to mention ga$ savers).
There are just not enough Law Enforcement to be everywhere for everyone. I believe it is our right and responsiblity to protect ourselves and our families.
