Self-Defense Fanny Pack a Triple Threat of Protection for Women, College Students and Others

EVANSVILLE, Ind., — Every 2 1/2 minutes, someone is sexually assaulted in America, according to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). Personal and home security expert Marvin Lewis has designed a patent-pending kit to help people – particularly vulnerable women and college students – protect themselves in threatening situations.

"The statistics are numbing," said Lewis. FBI figures show that robberies in the U.S. were up 4.5 percent in 2004-2005. Female college students face a one in four chance of being sexually assaulted, reports SecurityOnCampus.org.

"While we may not be able to lower the national crime rate," said Lewis, “we can avoid being a victim of crime – from being another statistic. Reports of serial rapes and murders in Phoenix, Arizona and other parts of the country are particularly chilling and should put everyone on alert."

Lewis makes it his business to help individuals protect themselves. He owns HotSecurity.com, maker of personal protection products including the new Self-Defense Fanny Pack. The Self-Defense Fanny Pack sells for $45 and includes:

• Stun gun – electronic device emits a high-voltage shock that immobilizes a person for several minutes
  
  
• Pepper sprayer – sprays a derivative of hot red cayenne peppers that causes temporary blindness and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs
  
  
• Personal alarm – designed to draw attention to any crisis, this 130-decibel alarm uses a 9-volt battery and is activated when the strap attached to the alarm pin is pulled; small enough to carry in a purse or attach to a belt
  
  
• A zippered fanny pack with an adjustable strap

"With our Self-Defense Fanny Pack," said Lewis, “personal protection is as easy as one-two-three. That’s because we provide three lines of defense against an attacker. Individuals can use the products that they are most comfortable with and that best suit their needs. We hope that no one ever actually needs to use our products, but if they do, they know they’ve increased their chances of being well-protected against an unwanted attack."

Lewis cautions that individuals should not let the fanny pack give them a false sense of security. “Of course, common sense is the first step in avoiding victimization," he said.

He notes that the Self-Defense Fanny Pack also is ideal for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and others. “The fanny pack allows a person’s hands to be free, yet keeps the self-defense products close at hand," he said.
