			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been awhile since I have posted to the blog so I wanted to give everyone an update as to what is going on.  Over the last month we have been working on some big things here at Protection Direct.  Up until now our major area of products has been on the self defense end of things.  We did have a few different security cameras available but the selection has been slim.  But that is going to change.  </p>
<p>We are in the process of rolling out our security/hidden camera division that will have a much more robust selection than we have had previously.  This first part of this roll is some very high end hidden cameras.  We are ensuring our selection contains nothing but the best hidden cameras available on the market.  </p>
<p>You can check out our <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Category_Code=HiddenCameras">hidden cameras here</a></p>
<p>This selection contains some wonderful items like our <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=STHC-ALARC-DVR&#038;Category_Code=HiddenCameras">alarm clock hidden camera</a> and our <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=STHC-BMBOX-DVR&#038;Category_Code=HiddenCameras">boom box hidden camera</a>.</p>
<p>In the coming weeks we are also going to be rolling out our professional security cameras.  These will include cameras of the highest quality.  We will have a selection of kits available that include basic kits with a single camera all the way up to our business grade security kits that have 16 cameras.  Along with that many of these kits will have the ability to be monitored from anywhere in the world as long as there is an internet connection.  </p>
<p>We strive to bring our customers the absolute best in home security and self defense options and our hidden/security camera roll out will be nothing short of that.  </p>
<p>On top of that we have always guaranteed the lowest price on all of our products and that same guarantee is extended to our new selection of cameras.  Prior to us adding any of them to our site we have taken the time to check the prices of all the major competitors to ensure that you will get the best price with us.  And as always if you happen to find the same product cheaper you can take advantage of our 110% low price guarantee.  </p>
<p>I look forward to offering everyone our new selection of cameras.  </p>
<p>Stay safe,</p>
<p>Matthew</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good afternoon everyone,</p>
<p>Today I wanted to give everyone the second part to the last post I had made.  If you didn&#8217;t have a chance to check it out I&#8217;ll give you a quick overview.  In the last post I made I discussed all of the different states that have laws for pepper spray.  There are a couple that do not allow pepper spray at all, some that have certain places you can get it from, and some that have specific regulations on the formulation of the spray.  If you didn&#8217;t see the post you can <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/blog/41/know-the-pepper-spray-laws-for-your-state/">see it here</a>.</p>
<p>To kick it off I&#8217;m going to go over the states that do not allow stun guns at all. This means you are not allowed to own a stun gun in these states.  Also, just to clarify these lists are just for the US.  There are a bunch of counties that have laws against stun guns, if you want to know which they are Google them. </p>
<p> These states are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>Connecticut</li>
<li>Illinois</li>
<li>Hawaii</li>
<li>Massachusetts </li>
<li>Michigan</li>
<li>New Jersey</li>
<li>New York</li>
<li>Rhode Island</li>
<li>Wisconsin</li>
</ul>
<p>So as you can see there are several states that we cannot send stun guns too.  So before you buy a stun gun you want to make sure you don&#8217;t live in one of these states.  </p>
<p>Next I&#8217;m going to give you a list of cities where it is illegal to own a stun gun.  Again this list is specific cities and counties, so you can own a stun gun if you live anywhere else besides locations on this list. </p>
<ul>
<li>Annapolis, MD</li>
<li>Baltimore, MD</li>
<li>Baltimore County, MD</li>
<li>Chicago, IL</li>
<li>Dension/ Crawford county, MD</li>
<li>Washington DC</li>
<li>Philadelphia, PA</li>
</ul>
<p>So those are the cities/counties that you cannot own a stun gun.  This basically means if you <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/stun-guns-for-sale.html">buy a stun gun online</a> than the shipping address cannot be to any of these locations. </p>
<p>I hope this helps everyone have a better understanding of where we can and cannot send stun guns too.  If there are any other questions feel free to leave them in the comments section.  </p>
<p>Stay Safe,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,</p>
<p>I hope all is well.    I have received a lot of feedback regarding where you can and can&#8217;t have pepper spray shipped to.  This is information you defiantly want to know before you go out and try and buy pepper spray or stun guns.  </p>
<p>There are a few states that we cannot send pepper spray to at all and a couple that have regulations on the type of pepper spray that can be sent there.  </p>
<p>First I&#8217;ll tell you the states that we cannot send pepper spray to under any circumstances.  Also keep in mind these laws govern the majority of online self defense sites with the exception of ones that have actual outlets with proper licenses in these states.  </p>
<p>The first state is <strong>New York</strong>.  It is illegal for online self defense dealers to send pepper spray to New York.  The only way you can buy pepper spray is NY is by going to a licensed Firearms dealers or Pharmacists within the state.  </p>
<p>The next state is <strong>Massachusetts</strong>.  The laws there are pretty much the same has New York with the exception of one thing.  In Mass you are still only able to purchase pepper spray from licensed firearms dealers but not form Pharmacists.  In NY you can buy it from Pharmacists that sell it but not in Mass.</p>
<p>Those are the two states that we cannot shit to at all.  The next two states I&#8217;m going to tell you about have specific regulations on pepper spray formulas.  This means you can have certain types sent to these states.  </p>
<p>The first of these two states is Michigan.  If you live in Michigan than there are some pretty specific pepper spray regulations you need to know about.  The only pepper spray you will be able to purchase is spray that has less than a 2% concentrated.  Sometimes it is hard to tell what the exact percentage is so it is a good rule of thumb to look for <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=ST80175&#038;Category_Code=MPS">Michigan Approved Pepper Spray</a>.  Many sites sell specific types of pepper spray made for residents in Michigan.  </p>
<p>Another thing to note is that you are not able to purchase combination sprays.  There are several types of pepper spray that combine both pepper spray as well as tear gas.  It is illegal to have this type of defense spray in Michigan.  </p>
<p>The last state that has regulations with pepper spray is <strong>Wisconsin</a>.  If you live in Wisconsin pepper spray cannot be more than 10% concentration with a weight range of oleoresin of capsicum and inert ingredients of 15-60 grams.  This will limit you to our canisters that are 2oz or less.  On top of that you are not able to purchase pepper spray that is camouflaged such as our <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=STPSLS&#038;Category_Code=PS">lipstick pepper spray</a> and it must have a safety to prevent it from going off by mistake.  Along with that it must be able to spray at least 6 feet but no more than 20 feet and need to have a warning stating that no one under 18 can purchase it.  Finally, the last piece to know about is that each container of pepper spray needs to be sold in sealed tamer proof packages.  </p>
<p>There is also one last law I want to tell you about that is not related to any particular state.  When ordering pepper spray you only have the option to send it with ground shipping.  It is illegal to have pepper spray shipped via air.  So this will limit you to normal shipping times such as UPS ground.  </p>
<p>I know that is a lot of information to take in but it is very important to know.  Before you go out and buy any self defense product it is good to do the research to make sure it is legal where you live.  </p>
<p>I hope this help everyone out there have a better understanding of what kind of pepper spray you are able to purchase along with all the laws around it.  If anyone has any other questions or notices anything that was left out feel free to let me know in the comments section below!</p>
<p>Stay safe,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Hey everyone,  I hope all is well.  We&#8217;re still trying to shake all this rain up here in Maine(going on day 6 now) but it looks like it is supposed to be very nice out tomorrow.  </p>
<p>Today I wanted to talk about a product that I seem to forget about every now and again. </p>
<p> It is our <a href=" http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=CEPWSC&#038;Category_Code=SpyC">wireless mini wireless spy camera</a>.  It&#8217;s actually a remarkable little camera that is so small you can pretty much put it anywhere without it being noticed. </p>
<p>It comes in very handy in many situations.  It can be used if you think your baby sitter or spouse is up to no good .  It also works great as an almost invisible security camera.  Like I mentioned it is also wireless so you can set it up in just a couple minutes.  Once you have it set up you can place the receiver up to 300 feet away if you are outside or about 150 feet away inside a building.  The receiver for the camera can hook up to any VCR or other video recording device to record full color video.  But you have the option to hook it up to a TV so you are only monitoring.  </p>
<p>I have talked to a lot of customers that have had great luck with this wireless spy camera.  They have caught people on tape doing things like stealing money from them and many other unspeakable things.  </p>
<p>I find it amazing the way people will act if they don&#8217;t think anyone is watching.  Just look at all of the hidden camera shows that you see on TV.  People do some dumb stuff.  </p>
<p>So if you are looking for a great covert camera for your home than our mini wireless spy camera is for you.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave it at that for today.</p>
<p>Until next time,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone,<br />
I hope all is well for you today.  It is raining pretty hard at the moment up here in Maine.  That has been the story for the last 7 days with the exception of a few hours of sun, what a tease lol.  </p>
<p>Today I want to talk about value with everyone out there.  Obviously the current economic situation is making it hard on all of us.  Everyone dollar that comes out of our pocket has much more thought behind it than it used to.  The problem with this is most people look at self defense products as something they just can&#8217;t afford right now.  But it is a catch 22 because more people are choosing to pass on being protected with self defense products but at the same time the bad economy is causing the crime rates to rise.  As an example, here in Maine our crime rate is low to begin with but over the last year it has gone up over 7%! Most of that rise was near the end of the year.</p>
<p>With more people out of work there are individuals that are turning to extreme options to get money.  This could include robbery, home invasion, theft and much more.  Crimes like this are putting us all at risk and with more people being more desperate than ever that risk is higher.  That means it is more important to be protected today than it ever has been.  That is why here at Protection Direct Security we want to make sure everyone is able to be protected without making their wallet hurt.  </p>
<p>We pride ourselves on making sure our customers get the best service, best selection, at the BEST price.  We spend a lot of time researching the competition to make sure that our prices give you a better value.  All products we offer are less expensive than the same products found with our competitors.  To give you an example of this let&#8217;s look at how the <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=STPRETENDER&#038;Category_Code=SG">Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun</a> is priced on three of the most well known self defense stores.  I will list them below and if you want to see the prices for yourself just click on the name of the company and it will take you right to their product.  </p>
<p><a href="http://www.tbotech.com/pretender-cellphone-stungun.htm" rel="nofollow">TBO-TECH</a></p>
<p><strong>Current Price:  $69.95</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.a1selfdefenseproducts.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=385" rel="nofollow">A1 Self Defense Products</a></p>
<p><strong>Current Price:  $69.95</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.aaa-safetyfirst.com/pretender-cellphone-stun-gun.htm" rel="nofollow">AAA Safety First</a></p>
<p><strong>Current Price:  $69.95</strong></p>
<p>As you can see the above sites all have the same product at the same price.  Here at Protection Direct Security we also offer the same exact Pretender Cell Phone Stun Gun with one difference&#8230;</p>
<p><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold; align: center; font-size: 22px;">We Sell It For $59.99!</span></p>
<p>You save 10 dollars on the same product with us.  With the way the economy is right now every penny you can save helps and by shopping with us we make sure you have lots of those pennies left in your pocket.  </p>
<p>Now we understand it is hard to be able to monitor every product on hundreds of sites so we take that into account as well.  That is why we offer our <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/lowprice.html" rel="nofollow">110% Low Price Guarantee</a>.  If you happen to find the same product for a lower price elsewhere we will match that price.  But because you had to take the time to find it cheaper we will also slash another 10% off the cost so we will not only be matching the price but we will beat it by 10% GUARANTEED!</p>
<p>Personal protection should not be something that only the rich can afford.  It is something that is very important for all of us to address.  Buying a self defense product, like a stun gun, can be an investment in the future.  It could potentially save you hundreds of dollars, bodily injury or even your life and those are things you don&#8217;t want to leave to chance.  </p>
<p>I hope this post was able to demonstrate the value of Protection Direct and illustrate why we are one of the fastest growing self defense companies on the internet.  </p>
<p>I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and a successful week ahead.</p>
<p>Be Safe,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey Hey everyone,  I hope all is well for you today.  We had a bit of a cold night up here in Maine.  When I went to bed at around midnight it was 34 outside and when I got up this morning at 7 it was 39.  Yikes!  I thought winter was over but apparently I was wrong.  Good news is today is shaping up to be very nice, not a cloud in the sky so far.  But enough with the weather report for today.  </p>
<p>I was reading the local paper this morning and read an article that surprised me.  Well it wasn&#8217;t a huge surprise since I had been expecting it but it is alarming none the less.  Like I said, I live in Maine which is considered one of the safest states in the country.  This article was talking about the rising crime rate in Maine.  During 2008 Maine saw a jump of almost 1% in our overall crime.  But what I thought was very disturbing was the fact rural crime was up almost 7% from 2007.  That&#8217;s a pretty scary thing.  </p>
<p>One point I have always tried to get a crossed was the fact that no matter where you live you are at risk of being a victim of a crime.  It is a fact of life and there is no getting away from it.  That doesn&#8217;t mean you have to install security bars on the windows and never go outside.  It just means you want to take proactive steps to make sure you are protected. </p>
<p>There are many ways you are able to do this.  For you home you can do a few simple things to make sure your home is protected.  I always recommend taking a little time and walking around the outside of your home and pretend to be a burglar.  Try and find all the different ways you can gain entry to your home.  Let&#8217;s say you come to a window that is able to open easily, than you would want to take some steps to secure it.  The best way to do this is to get a window jam.  You can either buy one or make one yourself.  If you make one yourself all you have to do is measure a piece of wood that is long enough to go from the top of the lower part of the window up to the top frame.  Then you put it in place and it will make it almost impossible to open the window even if it is unlocked.  </p>
<p>If you spend some time finding all the weak areas in your home security than you can make your home much safer without spending much money at all. </p>
<p>There are also many ways to keep yourself protected when you are out and about.  There are things you can buy like stun guns or pepper spray.  If you want to find out <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com">where to buy pepper spray</a> just head over to our main page and you will find a great selection.  If you want to find the <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/stun-guns-for-sale.html">best stun guns for sale</a> we have you covered there too<br />
But there is also ways you can do it without spending money.  The best way to avoid being a victim of a crime, like a mugging, is to be very aware of your surroundings.  If you are the type of person that does a lot of walking around or walks to work than pay attention to the areas you walk through.  You will notice things you never did before like dark places where criminals can lurk.</p>
<p>You want to pay attention to locations that have no street lights.  They tend to be a prime place for muggings to happen because it is easy for a criminal to hide in the shadows.  Another thing to watch out for is area where there are not a lot of people such as parking lots or alleys.  These are a hot spot for criminals to attack.  If a criminal is planning on robbing someone they want to do it in a place where no one will notice.  As an example if you are walking through the parking lot coming out of work or from shopping you want to pay attention to what the few people out there are doing.  The people that are in parking lots are normally heading to their car or heading to the building.  If you see someone just standing there not walking around you want to avoid that person.  The key is to look for activity that doesn&#8217;t match the situation. </p>
<p>There are many other ways to stay safe and these are meant to serve as examples of what you can do.  In upcoming posts I will be going into more detail on ways to do this.  I hope this gives everyone and idea of things they should be doing to be safe.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave it at that for today I have to get back to finishing off getting our new office set up.</p>
<p>Be Safe,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been awhile since I have posted, it has been pretty crazy around here.  We have been in the process of moving our office along with our house.  We have decided to downsize our house for now and move to a larger office.  We found a great 2 bedroom house for a wonderful price.  It will save us a lot in the long run, the other place cost way too much to maintain.  If you have ever moved before I&#8217;m sure you know the stress it can bring.  Moving everything in the house went pretty good but we ran into problems with our office.  </p>
<p>I figured it was a good idea to save some money by moving our servers and setting up our new network myself.  That didn&#8217;t exactly go as planned.  I ended up destroying our main server which resulted in a good amount of data lost.  Good thing I keep a lot of backups.  But this caused our phone systems to be down for an extended period of time due to the fact we use a VOIP system which relies on our network functioning properly.  If anyone was unable to contact us during that time I apologize, it was  100% my mistake.  </p>
<p>As my way of saying  sorry I&#8217;m going to dramatically mark down the cost of our 775,000 volt <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=STSM-775&#038;Category_Code=SG">Stun Master Stun Gun</a>.  We normally sell it for $79.99 and most of the other online self defense stores usually sell it for around $90.00 but for the next 7 days I&#8217;m going to make it available for $59.99.   That is much cheaper than it normally is and to be blatantly honest that is a steal for that stun gun.  Stun Master stun guns are some of the <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/stun-guns-for-sale.html">best stun guns for sale</a> on the market today.  </p>
<p>One of the highlights for these stun guns is the fact that is uses 4 high quality electrodes at the end of the gun instead of 2.  This will give you the maximum benefit from the 775,000 volts of power this thing puts out.  It is also made from a hardened plastic to ensure it is able to stand up to some abuse.  Overall I would say this is one of my favorite stun guns that we offer.   I am so confident in this stun gun that it is the one I bought for my mother when she moved to Florida.  </p>
<p>Once again I would like to apologize to everyone that was not able to get a hold of us over the last week or so.  If you&#8217;re looking to <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com">buy a stun gun</a> than <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=STSM-775&#038;Category_Code=SG">click here to see this stun master stun gun</a> you won&#8217;t regret it. </p>
<p>Until Next Time,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Everyone, </p>
<p>I hope all is well out there.  It&#8217;s been very busy on our end.  We have been doing a lot of rearranging of our overhead to ensure that we are able to weather the economy.  They way it looks right now we are going to be able to keep all of our employees.  At Protection Direct we are like a close family.  We don&#8217;t work in a giant office building it is a relatively small office so we spend a lot of time with each other.  This has caused all of us to become very close so I had to do everything in my power to make sure they all still have jobs.  So that&#8217;s the business update for today.</p>
<p>Another thing I wanted to talk about today is the Mace Pepper Gun.  The demand for them has gone down recently so I wanted to write about some of the great benefits of them.   Many people see the Mace Pepper Gun and think it is something that they don&#8217;t need, they think it is almost gimmicky.  But it is far from that.  </p>
<p>The Mace Pepper Gun is a very unique item and takes a different angle at protecting yourself with pepper spray.  For those of you that have never seen the <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=ST80402&#038;Category_Code=MPS">Mace Pepper Spray Gun</a> just click on the underlined text to check it out.  </p>
<p>It is basically a plastic gun that holds a pressurized cartridge of pepper spray.  It features a trigger just like any gun.  The huge advantage of using it is the fact it is operated like a gun.  When using a regular bottle of pepper spray it is similar to using a hair spray bottle (in form of course, I&#8217;m by no means comparing pepper spray to hair spray), some people find it a little difficult to aim at the attacker to get the perfect shot.  With the Mace Pepper Spray Gun you simply aim at the attacker and pull the trigger.  It is much easier to get that perfect shot.  </p>
<p>Another huge benefit is the distance it is able to shoot.  It has the ability to shoot a stream of pepper spray up to 25 feet which means you can keep a whole bunch of distance between you and the bad guy.  When you pull the trigger it also activates a very bright LED light on the front of it so you can have a better view of what you are shooting and it will also disorient the attacker so they will have a hard time seeing you.  </p>
<p>When you purchase the Mace Pepper Spray Gun it comes with one cartridge of pepper spray and one of water.  The water one gives you the chance to practice with the gun without wasting any of the good stuff.  This is vital when you are using <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com">self defense products</a>.  You want to practice as much as you can so when the times comes to use it you are very comfortable with  it so you will get the best results.  </p>
<p>Overall the <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mace-pepper-spray.html">Mace Pepper Spray</a> Gun is a wonderful way to stay protected and defiantly has benefits over a regular bottle of pepper spray.  I&#8217;m not saying regular pepper spray is bad but if you want something that has a bit more of a bang than this is for you.  </p>
<p>I hope that helps shed some light on a product that has seemed to fade into the shadows.  I&#8217;ll leave it at that for today, we have our daily team meeting in 10 minutes so I have to finish preparing for that. </p>
<p>Stay safe,</p>
<p>Barry</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I wanted to thank everyone that has taken part in our keychain pepper spray promotion.  It is still going strong and we have decided to keep it around for good.  The response we have received  has been incredible.   And in an effort to help everyone in these hard economic times I want to make sure everyone has a chance to be protected.   If you&#8217;re living paycheck to paycheck like many of us are it can be hard to spare the extra money for <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com">self defense products</a>.  Being protected shouldn&#8217;t cost you a ton of money and that is exactly why I want to make sure anyone that wants to be protected has the chance to do it without breaking the bank.</p>
<p>If you have previously taken part in our <a href="http://www.protection-direct.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&#038;Store_Code=ProtectionDirect&#038;Product_Code=PS1A&#038;Attributes=Yes&#038;Quantity=1">keychain pepper spray promotion</a> and are coming back to get more you have probably noticed the price has changed.  I apologize for any confusion this has created but there was an unforeseen increase in the price from our distributer.  We were previously paying $3.25 per unit but sadly the price has gone up to $4.50.  </p>
<p>If you have shopped around you have probably seen the same exact keychain pepper spray anywhere from $10 to $15 dollars.  So you are still getting a great deal on some wonderful protection.  I truly wish we could still sell it for $3.25 but times are hard right now and everyone needs to do what they can to stay in business.</p>
<p>I would once again like to thank everyone that has taken part in the promotion so far and I extend my sincerest apologies for the price increase.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;ll leave it here for today, I have a cat at the vet I need to go pick up.  She just got fixed so she won&#8217;t be a happy camper.  Wish me luck! </p>
<p>Stay safe,</p>
<p>Barry</p>
