September 2010

The travel agency where I worked was always busy taking care of the tour needs of our foreign tourists. I was assigned to guide a family from France. Despite the many attractions in my city, it is quite populated and crowded. We give our tourists Mace self defense tools that they can use for self protection.

As a bartender, I get off my job at about 2 a.m. Being out at this unholy hour, I feel vulnerable. This motivated me to search for a self defense weapon until I ran across the Mace pepper gel.

My 8 year old girl became a local celebrity after she bravely rescued a dog and it made the national news. She received countless gifts and letters. We took it all in our stride while letting her enjoy the moment.

My neighbor’s son was again being harassed by the hooligans from the other street. He is used to this kind of treatment as he goes home from school. A young lady from our apartment was mistreated the other day by two men. It is not an uncommon occurrence.

I go about my day job, collect my boy from grade school and then put in another 4 hours in an hourly post. This had to be done since I transferred him to a private school despite fees that would horrify any single parent.

I am just a simple guy living a simple life but beneath is a memory that forever changed my life. My wife and kids were getting in the car when all of a sudden a man grabbed my wife’s purse. Of course, I ran after him.

Concerned about personal security, I searched the internet where to buy self defense weapons with which to protect my household.

I lead a busy work life and I am always out of the house. This was the reason I put up a voice alert driveway and home alarm. Since I can not be with my family all the time, it will assist me in keeping track of what goes on with them.

I became a single parent of three kids years ago after my ex-husband and I finally decided to get a divorce. Now, the home that I used to live in, with a happy family is gone.
