What We Could Have Done, If Only.....


  

Watching sporting events on television or in an arena, watching game or quiz shows, or at the cinema.  Do you ever feel like you can or at least you should be able to talk to or advise the participants?  Do you yell at the quarterback through the television and say things like,  "what are you doing? Throw the ball."  Watching a movie you may say, "don't open that door".  Here at GLP Security Solutions we experience the same emotions when we watch natural disasters unfold on television or the Internet. The major difference of course is that sporting events and game shows are entertainment. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and tornadoes are as real as life can get.  

We watched on television with a high level of frustration the rescue efforts of emergency technicians and volunteers attempting to find people trapped beneath a collapsed building demolished by an earthquake. For example the United Nations Stabilization Mission headquarters that was destroyed by the earthquake in Haiti in 2010.  



As CEO of GLP Security Solutions I felt it was my responsibility to offer assistance in any way could. So I contacted several organizations including the U.N., and Doctors Without Borders. "Nothing".  Well you might say, what could you have done? You can't go to these areas and pull rubble and debris off of people. No I cannot do that at this time.  But I can donate  GLP Security products such as a portable alarm system like the (SWPDAL) that volunteers and personnel can take with them at all times which could have been easily deployed in an emergency situation that would have alerted rescue workers as to where they were located. I could have offered free of charge, a product such as the (SWIA), a pocket sized motion sensor alarm that could alert emergency workers to sudden movements. You get what I'm trying to say here? 



Either One Or Both Would Be Ideal In Case of An Emergency Situation.

Listen, maybe it's the dreamer in me that has me believing that there is a solution to every problem.  Maybe I'm wasting valuable time trying to influence others that "Making A Difference" is very possible. Maybe I should do what the naysayers are telling me and give up.

Why GLP Does Not Actively Market Pepper Sprays and Similar Products.

 It's a valid question. Most of our customers as well as our competitors are aware that we have access to the most effective pepper sprays available on the market today, and it's a fact that we are in business to make a profit as well as to, "Make A Difference".  But sometimes making a difference means not making a profit. And in this case we have chosen to forgo the dollar signs for one reason, and here it is.



Pepper spray in many U.S. states is considered a weapon, therefore like it should be in the case of operating all weaponry the user should have some sort of weapons training. In the case of using pepper spray and using it effectively GLP Security Solutions feels strongly that one should have adequate self defense training.

One must keep in mind the objectives, the reasons for using pepper spray in the first place, "To temporarily debilitate an attacker for the purpose of escaping their intentions". Think about that for a moment. The reason one brandishes a weapon like pepper spray should be to use it, point blank. If someone who is the subject of an attack takes out pepper spray and then issues a warning like, "stand back or I'll use this" is unfortunately waiting for their attacker to disarm them and in some cases use the pepper spray on them.  This is why we emphasize that one receives good self defense training before acquiring pepper spray.

Here think about this. Let's look at a few scenarios real quick and then we'll close. Say for example you administered a hard blow to the chin / throat region of an attacker while simultaneously delivering a blow to the groin area, (as illustrated below), 

Would this not be an effective prelude to deploying pepper spray?  But you would not know how to effectively use this maneuver if you were not familiar with the basic techniques of self defense. There are many self defense programs offered in your area, if you have difficulty finding one, we will assist you,  just contact us via our website www.GLPSecurity.com and we'll point you in the right direction. And then after you learn the basics of defending yourself and you personally feel you are ready to obtain and possibly use the best pepper sprays on the market today:
