The rising crime rates is proof that nobody should assume that their person, home, and community are as safe and secure as we would all like them to be. In the US alone, statistics show that crime happens every 15 seconds. This is enough reason to invest in products personal security. Nobody would want to be at the mercy of a criminal without any means of protection.
Be mindful though of your local laws as certain personal security products may be restricted in your state. For instance, New York residents could only buy defense sprays from licensed firearms dealers or licensed pharmacists. On the other hand, in states such as Michigan, New Jersey, District of Columbia, etc. possession and sales of stunning devices are banned.

Artex is a part of the Cobham Group Company, an international company engaged in the development, delivery and support of advanced aerospace and defense systems for land, sea, air and space. One of its divisions is Artex Products located in Oregon. Cobham Avionics – Artex Products designs and manufactures a wide array of ELTs for general, business, commercial and military aviation applications as well as battery packs and ELT accessories. An ELT is a battery-powered radio transmitter mounted in a crash-resistant housing in the rear of an aircraft. When triggered by a significant shock, the transmitter begins broadcasting to one or more of a series of orbiting satellites. The satellites automatically alert ground-based search and rescue stations, which dispatch rescue aircraft towards the radiating beacon.
Two Artex ELT models are the C-91 and the C-126. With these ELTs, search and rescue teams are more easily pinpointed to the exact location of a downed aircraft. It is a requirement of the Federal Aviation Regulation that no person may operate a U.S registered aircraft unless an approved automatic type emergency locator is attached to the aircraft. Similar regulations are established by aviation authorities throughout the world. Artex actively provides some of these ELTs.

Some people are wary of carrying a gun around. It is potentially dangerous. A wrong move will put you in the position of the victim rather than one who just needs to be protected. Gun proponents will tell you that it is one of the best ways of protecting oneself. For those who would rather not carry a gun, there is the better alternative – the taser gun.
The taser gun is a less lethal weapon than regular guns. It is a device that incapacitates a person by sending electric current to disrupt his voluntary control of muscles. It sends the person in shock, unable to move. It gives time to the potential crime victim to call for help or do a quick get-away. The fact that it will not kill people makes it more acceptable to less violent members of our society.

It can be a challenge when one is running a workplace that employs a lot of people. With the number of workers one must handle, it can be very confusing. A factory, for instance, needs to have a daily production quota. It should be reached depending on the number of people working within a given day. It would be extremely hard to supervise all these people as one runs after the daily production.
But there is one thing that will make sure that production is reached. This is one of the most important things when one has a company that depends a lot on its people to reach the company target. The employees must be happy. They should feel that the company is genuinely concerned with their well-being. Having an industrial first aid cabinet is just one of the things that make workers feel that they are well taken care of.

Taser guns work by shooting out two probes that are electronically charged. When they hit the target they give a sharp electrical shock that stuns the person. The effect could last only for half a minute but it can be enough to make a difference to the person being attacked. Stun guns are not meant to kill the attacker. They are there to disorient the attacker to provide time to call for help or escape.
Taser guns are weapons used by some law enforcement personnel. At the present time, there are two main police models, the M26 and X26. Both come with various accessories, including a laser sight and optional mounted digital video camera that can record in low-light situations. The Taser M26C shoots out 2 darts attached to 15 feet of wire. 50,000 volts travel over the wires and over-rides the central nervous system. It can stop a threat up to 15 feet away (4.5 meters), allowing a safe distance to protect yourself and family from an attacker.
