Pepper Spray Seminar

Location: Federal Way Discount Guns and Indoor Range
1401 S. 324th St
Federal Way, WA 98003

Date: February 06, 2014

Time: 6:30 – 8:30 pm

Cost: $75 (fee includes OC/Pepper Spray and Inert Canister Set for you to take home.) REGISTER

Here are just a few questions and valuable answers about pepper spray. This seminar has so much more to offer. Come and learn how this self defense device can increase your personal safety.

Exactly how do I spray my pepper spray? If you have to use your pepper spray make sure you have distance between you and the threat if at all possible. Aim the spray at the eyes and facial region of the threat then release a 1 to 2 second burst of spray. After you have done this MOVE out of the way but keep your eyes on the threat. Pepper spray can take a couple of moments to cause a reaction and by watching the reactions of the threat you will be able to determine if you will require another shot of pepper spray.

Do I need to practice using my pepper spray? It is vital that you give some thought in advance to how you will carry your pepper spray canister. Taking a class to learn how and when to deploy your pepper spray is the best option.  Consider carrying the device in the same place whenever possible. That way, you won’t have to think, “where is it today?” in the heat of the moment.

Glock 42 has arrived!

This past weekend I had an opportunity to try out my new Glock 42, 380 caliber handgun.  Although I am not a big Glock fan, just due to the fact that they usually do not fit my hand well, I was anxious to shoot this new 380.  Honestly, I have to admit, I like it even better than I expected I would.  The recoil is minimal, no discomfort, and I was able to put my first three shots through the same whole in the paper target!  Now, that is impressive for me.  My daughter, Chelsea, and one of our other instructors experienced equal success when they shot the gun.  I even offered it to a class of new shooters and the feedback was very favorable.  Finally, another 380 hand gun that fits a women’s hand, is easy to shoot, and comes with a very reasonable price tag, retailing for around $400 at Federal Way Discount Guns.  That is hard to beat.

2014 shot show, Firearm Blog, Las Vegas gun show, Las Vegas:  LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL, products for women, self-defense

The 2014 Shot Show is now in progress, and there are many new products on display.  An excellent source for information on new products is The Firearm Blog.  These guys are very knowledgeable and not so opinionated as some of the other reviews out there.

Here is an exert from the local newspaper in Las Vegas:

 LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL

“Trending this year is self-defense and concealed carry, while female participation in both self-defense and target shooting has seen large increases. As a result, manufacturers are making more products for women, including holsters designed for a woman’s frame. Youth products are already ticking up, Dolnack said.”
