FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Seattle, Washington, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) November 10, 2010 -- Stephen Buller, self-defense specialist commented on the upcoming holiday season: He mentioned that, although for some it is a time for family and love, for others it is an opportunity to victimize innocent people. He gave us a great 4-item list of things to do to learn how to protect yourself during the holidays:

Technology has advanced, and Tasers, Stun Guns, and Pepper Spray are inexpensive, easy to carry and inconspicuous, cause no permanent damage, and generally have MORE stopping power.

3) Carry a personal alarm - In addition to a product with stopping power, personal alarms serve as a HUGE deterrent for would-be attackers. These fit on your keychain and, often times, have conveniences such as a flashlight.

4) Evaluate how and where you spend your time - Make smart decisions that don't put you in dangerous situations: Avoid certain bars, park under street lights, don't walk the city alone, lock your doors and windows, limit your alcohol intake. Consider the many small decisions you make on a day-to-day basis that could affect

Protechtion would like to wish everyone a happy, and safe, holiday season. It stresses that you should learn how to protect yourself .
