With crimes against the person on the rise, and law enforcement and emergency services at almost every level having to lay off personnel due to budget cuts, it is now more important than ever for individual citizens to have a basic knowledge of how not to be a victim, how to help in an emergency, and how to protect themselves and their loved ones if an unavoidable situation arises. Just living inside a "safe" community or having an alarm system is not always enough as we have recently seen in the news. There have been home invasions, drop houses, and meth labs found in what are considered the lowest crime, "safe" communities.
At Discovery, we are taking a proactive approach to this increasing problem by offering affordable safety products and hands on training to individuals, organizations, and communities, who wish to get certifications in personal protection and safety at home, work, and traveling abroad.
If you would like us to come to you to demo products and train your group, please call to schedule a time. Check for our regularly scheduled open enrollment classes on our websites class calendar.

Personal Protection & Safety Products
We researched self protection products and their manufacturers to hand pick the ones we would personally recommend and carry for our customers and clients. We based our decision on the best quality for the price, and most importantly, products small enough and easy to use so the average person will actually carry it comfortably, discretely, and with confidence.
Having a safety device will not help you if it is in your junk drawer or closet. Most crimes happen without warning and at places you feel the most comfortable, like a mall, or close to your home.
Pick the type of product you feel YOU would be the most likely to carry with you all the time and not be afraid to use.
Tear Gas & Pepper sprays - up to 10 ft are the easiest to carry and use. They can attach to your key chain, fit in a purse, pocket, gym bag, work or hiking clothes, and car door compartments. They offer a deterrent to bad guys and are a good first line of defense that allows you to get away from a bad situation and get help. We like the original MACE brand best. It uses a combination of OC pepper and tear gas.
We sell key chain pocket sprays because of there convenience and ease of use, walking weight spray combos for joggers and hikers, and the new pepper gun for home protection.
PURSE OR POCKET- with key chain Mace® Triple Action Leather Plus is an attractive personal defense 
spray product that fits easily in a pocket or purse and is ideal for women self defense. Features glow in the dark locking safety cap, key-ring and red leather-like case. The
Walking Weights - that shoot mace and store keys
Great news for walkers and joggers that are looking for a personal defense 
spray that won't slow them down and can be integrated into their workout! The unique and versatile Mace® Hot Walkers are one-pound walking weights with foam-covered hand grips for comfort and elastic hand straps for support. One weight has a built in self defense OC Pepper spray unit containing Mace® PepperGard formula, the other has a storage compartment to securely hold your keys and money while exercising. The 12 gram spray unit has an effective range up to 10 feet. Each set of Hot Walkers includes a free refill unit.
Pepper Gun for those that want nonlethal protection that shoots up to 25 feet. The new Mace Pepper gun is the most accurate defense pepper spray available. The OC super strength pepper spray formula (.74 Capsaicinoids) is contained in a disposable 
cartridge that can be replaced when empty. The cartridge utilizes an advanced delivery system, Bag-In-A-Can™ technology that allows you to spray a constant stream, reaching up to 25 feet, from any angle! The trigger activated LED light helps you to accurately aim the Pepper Gun and momentarily distract the attacker in the dark. The self defense unit includes a 28 gram OC Pepper cartridge, a water test cartridge (practice makes perfect), and batteries for LED light operation
Tasers - up to 15 ft
We like the original Taser brand the best. The new C2 personal protection device is small, about the size of a dollar bill, and it easily conceals in a purse or can be carried on a belt clip. It uses the same technology as used in their law enforcement models. It additionally has a stun device should you find yourself to close to shoot the Taser, scaring an assailant and giving you time to get away or to fire the Taser and get away. We recommend the model with the laser. This allows you to better aim, and a laser pointed at an assailant may scar them to run away and find an easier victim.
This new model the TASER® C2 was specifically designed for personal consumer protection. It is small as well as easy to h
andle and operate. It is approximately the size of a dollar bill, and can stop a threat up to 15 feet away allowing you to protect yourself and your family from a safe distance. You can also use the C2 as a contact stun device - a powerful backup capability. The TASER® C2 utilizes the most powerful take down technology available today - the same that law enforcement uses. TASER® energy weapon's are not considered firearms — they're legal to carry in most st
ates including AZ, CA, NV, NM, CO, UT without permits. Restricted from citizen use in MA, RI, NY, NJ, WI, MI, HI, IL and certain cities and counties. They come in basic black, pink, red, blue, and camo. Taser brand is the original and are trusted by police departments and security personnel worldwide. They are also a local AZ company.
