If you ask ten different people what they think the best use for
pepper spray is
and you will more than likely get ten different answers. I
believe the best and
most basic use for pepper spray is as a “get away spray.”
Pepper Spray when used correctly can provide you with what may
be your only
opportunity to get away from an attacker. It is said that any
street fight is won or
lost in the first thirty seconds, a sneak attack gives you less
than half of that time.
While there are many personal defense devices available, most
are either illegal or
require some degree of formal training to be utilized to their
full potential without
inflicting fatal or critical injuries to an attacker that would
make YOU the criminal.
Pepper spray on the other hand is legal in most states, can be
used effectively with
a minimal amount of reading, and leaves an attacker temporarily
impaired, and ready
for arrest by law enforcement personnel. The faster and more
effectively your attacker
is impaired the faster you can get yourself to safety. This can
also afford you the
precious few seconds to scream for assistance, just remember to
scream “fire” instead
of “help”, this is reputed to bring more people to the area
quicker.
Pepper spray dispensers are not limited to the large, bulky belt
clip style models.
They are available in a wide variety of every day items such as
pepper spray filled rings,
pens, and walking weights keeping the pepper spray at
the ready to help you make
the first thirty seconds of your attack the last thirty seconds
as well.
