The Brady Campaign-their Losing

The Brady Campaign is losing ground. This is a bold statement, and will most definitly bring Ton’s of Gun Control groups pounding on the door, and screaming. The Brady Campaign no doubt is the “Figurehead” of so many groups, groups dedicated to rewriting or eliminating the rights of the people, Via The Second Amendment. I am not saying that this assault on the Second Amendment is over, I am saying—They are Losing.

The Brady Campaign cannot be happy with numerous States that have adopted Concealed Carry in the last few years. The fact that so many States have Concealed Carry, and the number is growing is a reflection of the strength of their campaign. This opinion that the right to bear arms stated, does not apply directly to “The People” no longer seems to be a major benefit to them.

Statement From the Brady Campaign: “We’ve lost the battle on what the Second Amendment means,” campaign president Paul Helmke told ABC News. “Seventy-five percent of the public thinks it’s an individual right. Why are we arguing a theory anymore? We are concerned about what we can do practically. ”

“Seventy-five percent of the public thinks it’s an individual right. Why are we arguing a theory anymore?” I think He should have said “Seventy-five percent of the public know’s it’s an idividual right. Why are we arguing our opinions anymore?” Nonetheless, this does not sound like a Campaign President who is happy with the way things are going.

In a Video taken in D. C. , the Brady Campaign Legal Manager quoted the Second Amendment as follows:–” A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. ”

Why is it that He left out the words “We The People”? Is it that their main focus on the Second Amendment is to prove that it does not grant the right to bear arms to the people? If it is—Then they are losing ground—”Seventy-five percent of the public thinks it’s an individual right. Why are we arguing a theory anymore?”

The D. C. ban prohibits residents from keeping handguns inside their homes and requires that lawfully registered guns, such as shotguns, be locked and unloaded when kept at home.

“We’re expecting D. C. to lose the case,” Helmke said. “But this could be good from the standpoint of the political-legislative side. ”

The Brady Legal Manager omits “We The People” from the Second Amendment, The Campaign President states “We’re expecting D. C. to lose the case,” and “Why are we arguing a theory anymore?” I guess I agree with Mr. Helmke—-Their Losing.

This is not to say that the assault on the Second Amendment is over. It will most likely Heat Up. There will always be challenges to one’s freedom, however as long as good men and woman do not sit idle, the voice of reason will prevail. The attempt to overshadow the meaning of “The People”, with opinions–not facts, will not “Go Away”. However Law-Abiding citizens, backed by the Facts, and willing to stand up for what they believe in, is the side I want to be on.

Lasermax Sights a Key Criminal Deterrent

The LaserMax laser sights are some of the most popular laser sights, used by a number of government and military personal around the world. The LaserMax sights are considered a must have for law enforcement, due to the deterring factor. Police forces that have tried the LaserMax laser sights reported up to seventy percent increase in accuracy and a higher percent of compliant suspects. The idea behind the LaserMax is not to mount externally, but rather replace the guide rod and spring on most pistols, keeping your laser on target and lined up even at great distances.

When the police agencies come across non compliant suspects, it was difficult to make the suspect compliant without risking an officers or suspects life. Thanks to the LaserMax system there are report higher compliant rates among suspects, due to the “psychological effect” of having a laser display on a suspect. The ability to reduce lethal force is a selling point for most law enforcement officers, due to the fact many of them end up in long expensive law suits when forced to use deadly force.

So how can this help a civilian, I have been asked a few times, the answer is quite simple. As a civilian most are not trained for “worst case scenarios”, thus making them more likely to be caught in a long costly legal battle, even if the civilian’s actions were justifiable. The ability to make an otherwise unruly aggressor compliant is not only good for your potential attacker, but also makes safety available without firing a shot. This makes LaserMax weapons sights a great idea for all concealed carry owners, as well as home defense firearms owners.

If one can avoid a one hundred thousand dollar court case for protecting their family, I would consider that to be the ultimate in way of protection, not only physically but monetarily. With a price tag around three hundred dollars many decided it’s an accessory that is not required, although when looking at the all angles it seems silly not to consider a LaserMax. There are a wide range of other companies that produce laser sights that work on accessory rails, although the angle of the laser does not ensure accuracy at distances, which most argue only an internal lasers can provide.

In conclusion the LaserMax is a fine addition to the most firearms, but the selling point in my opinion is the deterrent factor. When you are put into a risky situation and able to resolve it without force and legal worries, that in my opinion is worth it’s weight in gold. Aside from the selling points, the LaserMax installs in less than five minutes, and has been torture tested for water proofing, dirt proofing, and doesn’t require a gunsmith to install. So in short if you are a concealed carry holder or have a firearm for home defense the this could save you a large amount of stress and liability, and I consider to be a must have personal protection item.

Personal Security Products – a Life Saving Decision

Let us look at some facts, which will throw light upon the crime rate and how much our society is susceptible to crime and violent attacks. The crime index rate in the US is measured Per 100,000 people and it saw a huge jump from 1,887. 2 in 1960 to a whopping 5,897. 8 in 1991. According to crime reports, the crime rate in 1991 in the US had jumped by 313% since the 1960’s.

The crime rate comprises of all reported crime and the categories include Murder, Property, Forcible Rape, Aggravated assault, Robbery, Burglary, Vehicle theft, and Larceny-theft. Here is a comparison of crime rate in the US from 1980 to 2005 in multiples of 5 years:

Year —— No. of Offenses (Violent Crime) —— No. of Offenses (Property Crime)1980 —————– 1,345 ————————————— 12,0641985 —————– 1,328 ————————————— 11,1031990 —————– 1,820 ————————————— 12,6551995 —————– 1,799 ————————————— 12,0642000 —————– 1,425 ————————————— 10,1832005 —————– 1,391 ————————————— 10,166

Source: U. S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The above figures go on to show that the crime rate was at its maximum in the period between 1985 and 1995. Although, the figures have come down but the improvement is not good enough. In such a scenario, what can you do as an individual? The answer to this lies in self-defense. There are several forms of self-defense including martial arts and use of pepper spray but the most common and legal forms in US include:

Let us take a look at how each of these weapons for self-defense can be use

Stun Guns Over a period of time, stun guns have completely evolved and are considered as one of the safest and effective weapons of self-defense. It is not only easy to use but it also more discreet and you can conceal it in your handbag as well. A stun gun of today is easily capable of generating around 200,000 volts and even more, which can easily leave a person incapacitated for 30 minutes. The advantage is that you can find different types of stun guns in the market like the stun gun flashlight, cell phone stun gun, stun baton, raptor stun gun, stun pen, small fry mini stun gun, expandable baton, stun stick, and several other variations including a rechargeable stun gun. But the only disadvantage of a stun gun is that you have to be close enough to the attacker to be able to use it.

The stun gun throws an electronic charge at the body of the attacker. Once it is firmly planted on the body, the high voltage low amps charge can easily disable a 6-foot man without causing any serious damage to the attacker. The attacker will feel excruciating pain as their muscles start to spasm and at the same time the level of their blood sugar will be depleted. Basically, it is one of the safest and effective weapons to use against an attacker in a close range.

Tasers A Taser is quite similar to the stun gun in more ways than one. This is a weapon that sends an electroshock into the body of the attacker to de-capacitate them. The Taser works on a technology known as Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD), which causes neuromuscular incapacitation or NMI and can be considered responsible for the strong muscle contractions that the attacker feels. The muscle contractions take place due to the involuntary stimulation of motor nerves as well as the sensory nerves. In fact, due to this particular reason, the Taser has become a favorite of law enforcement agencies in the US and other countries as well. It is even preferred over some of the traditional stun guns. The two main models used by law enforcement agencies include the M26 and X26. Both these Tasers are available with different accessories including a mounted digital video camera, which is capable of recording in low light conditions and laser sight.

The Taser works by firing two small darts, which consists of electrodes. The electrodes are connected to the main unit by a thin conductive wire and are propelled through the air with the help of compressed nitrogen charges. Each of the air cartridges consist of a pair of electrodes as well as a propellant that has to be replaced after each shot. Each of the Taser cartridges is available for propelling at different ranges. The maximum range for a Taser cartridge is 10. 6 meters or 35 feet and this is available only for law enforcement agencies. If you are planning to buy a Taser then your cartridge will be limited to 4. 5 meters or 15 feet. The good thing about Taser electrodes is that they can penetrate clothing and have a barbed surface so that they can’t be removed once they get attached to the skin. The good news is that Tasers can be carried legally without a permit in almost 43 US States although they are still prohibited for use in self-defense by citizens in the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Wisconsin.

Pepper SprayPepper spray is another very effective method of self-defense that women all over the world use against attackers or stalkers. Pepper spray is also called the OC spray as it has been derived from Oleoresin Capsicum. Some of the other common names of the pepper spray include capsicum spray and OC gas. Pepper spray is considered to be a good weapon of self-defense because of its lachrymatory qualities. The chemical in the spray irritates the eyes of the attacker and forces them to shut. It also causes pain, tears and temporary blindness and it is important to understand that too much of pepper spray can be lethal as well. You can find pepper spray in most of the supermarkets and other stores which stock self-defense equipments. It is available in canisters and can easily be concealed. It looks almost like a smaller version of a deodorant canister. Off late, due to its increased usage, companies have started offering pepper spray in innovative products like a ring or a cigarette lighter. The smaller it is, the better it can be concealed!

Concealed Handgun There are different laws in different countries for carrying a concealed handgun and in the United States it is known as concealed carry. You can carry a concealed handgun only after you get your license or legal authorization for the gun. As the name suggests, these guns are a little different from what the military or the police uses. These guns are smaller and can be easily concealed. Of course the choice of concealed handgun that you can carry will vary from one state to another. There are some states that will allow you to carry multiple concealed handguns while other states will restrict the use of even one handgun. So before you can go ahead and purchase a concealed handgun refer to the laws applicable in your state. Here is a list of the various types of concealed handguns that you can carry or use legally:

Expandable BatonsBatons have always been used by law enforcement agencies but off late you can use them as well for thwarting any attack by an intruder or stranger. You can find different types of expandable batons in the market including the expandable telescopic baton, which is considered to be an intimidating and powerful weapon of self-defense. There are two reasons for carrying an expandable baton:1)It would be a warning to anyone who wants to attack you as the baton can clearly be seen2)If someone still chooses to attack you then with the help of the baton you will be able to take them down quickly and efficiently. Some of the different sizes available include 16″ expandable telescopic baton, 21″ expandable telescopic baton, and 17″ expandable telescopic spring baton

Animal Repellents Animal repellents comprise of different types of chemicals and can be used for self-defense against bears, dogs, cats, and other animals. All animals’ repellents can be classified in 2 specific categories: 1) Taste repellent: This type if animal repellent is known as gustatory repellents repel and they taste really bad. 2) Odor repellent: These animal repellents are also known as olfactory repellents and leave an odor that is disturbing to the animals. The crux of the matter is that you should always take necessary measures to protect yourself when you are driving, in a crowded place, in a dark alley or in a park. Any of the above weapons of self-defense can be your life saving decision.
