There are a wide variety of small, personal alarms available for use as a deterrent to becoming a victim of crime.
Some states do not permit stun guns and have restrictions on pepper sprays..
Maybe you don't like the idea of using a self-defense "weapon" but feel that you should have something for protection.
We have heard of victims crying for help and people ignoring them.
What about an alarm? Do you think an attacker would stay around with a 120+ decibel screech going off? Chances are--no --unless you are in an area so remote that it wouldn't matter.
The first line of defense rests with you.
Don't travel alone in remote areas and always be aware of your surroundings.
Always have an alternate route in mind where people are so you can detour there if you think you are being followed.
Have you ever been in a motel room and worried that someone might break in? There are alarms which can be used on doors, windows or in drawers that will emit a loud noise and scare a would-be intruder away.
If you are asleep, they will wake you so that you can call for help or defend yourself, if necessary.
You can even have one in your suitcase.
Of course, if flying, remove the batteries or make sure the safety catch is on so that it doesn't activate in flight.
For college students living in dorms, wouldn't you like to have an alarm that would sound if someone went through your drawers? You can also use them in backpacks, purses, or with laptops.
Some rooms allow small personal refrigerators so a friend suggested that one could be used on those, too.
What better way to protect your belongings than to have a loud alarm announce the presence of an intruder.
These are also great for apartment and condo dwellers who want to have a simple door and/or window alarm.
Many, when used for intruders, emit a loud noise for several seconds, turn off, and then reset in just a few seconds.
The best thing about these products is that they can go with you anywhere and be used for just about anything; some even have lights.
A simple key chain with an alarm and light is handy when opening a door when it is dark.
Should someone come up behind you, you can press a button and sound the alarm.
Carry one with you when walking, jogging or bike riding, too.
If you are averse to carrying a self-defense weapon, a personal alarm could be your "weapon" of choice.
