 Pepper Spray for Personal Security Device

One primary way of defending yourself against attack is pepper spray. Pepper spray is a self defense product that is made from what are, essentially, chili peppers. The pepper is suspended in fluid and then aerosolized into a spray. You can buy pepper spray in small, easy-to-carry containers that can easily be put on a keychain or tucked into a handbag for a convenient personal security device. Some states in the U.S. have restrictions regarding the legality of pepper spray for self defense, either in terms of who is authorized to buy it or the strength of the pepper spray, so you should check your state’s laws before you purchase.

 Water Will Not Help

Once you have purchased your self defense pepper spray, some suggest practicing with it. This way if you are faced with the situation of having to use it, you will be prepared. Aim the pepper spray away from your face and arms, and NOT into the wind! Practice aiming so that if need be, you will know how to aim at the attacker’s face. Remember that if you need to use it, try to aim quick and back away so that the spray doesn’t hit you. If you do get some on you it may burn. Water will not help, so use milk or sour cream to help ease the sensation. If you get pepper spray in your eyes, blink as much as possible. The effects should ease 30 to 40 minutes afterwards, depending on how much you came in contact with.

You Can Quickly Flee

When self defense pepper spray is used on an attacker, it inflames mucous membranes such as the person’s nose, eyes, throat and lungs. This causes the attacker to instantly close their eyes and they could temporarily loose their sight. They also may encounter breathing problems from the pepper spray being so pungent. These effects can last 30 to 40 minutes or even longer depending on the strength of the pepper spray. This is the best self-defense weapon because once the attacker is incapacitated, you can quickly flee. You do not have to worry about causing permanent damage to someone. The effects are temporary. When you buy self defense pepper spray you are investing in your safety, and the safety of your loved ones. 

The Aggressive Animal

A common question asked about pepper spray is, will it work on a dog? The answere is yes. Self defense pepper spray is a safe and effective self defense tool to carry when walking, jogging, or biking.
The aggressive animal will need to be sprayed in the face since the eyes, nose, and mouth can be easily affected. Once the animal is incapacitated you can quickly leave
the area. It is not wise to stay around once the animal is controlled.

 

 Legal In America

Pepper spray is legal in America, but a few states have restrictions, so before purchasing be sure to check what your state allows. Owning pepper spray is not only inexpensive; it can save your life! It is great for the elderly, men, women, and colledge students. It is simple to use, conceal, and carry in your purse, pocket or jacket. If you do not own one yet, don’t wait until it’s too late. Order some pepper defense spray today for you and your loved ones, so you will have the right protection when needed.  

 Mace vs. Pepper Spray

Mace was originally manufactured under the name “Chemical Mace” by Lake Erie Chemical (a former division of Smith &
Wesson) in 1962, but is now a registered trademark of Mace Security International. The Mace sold today by Mace Security International is pepper spray rather than tear gas. Many other companies now manufacture similar products. “Mace” and “Pepper Spray” are frequently used interchangeably. Pepper defense spray is used for self defense in many different settings.

Don’t Run Away 

If you can avoid a dangerous situation before it happens, do so. Are there dogs in your area that are known to roam and cause havoc? Choose wisely before going for a walk. Always carry pepper defense spray with you. If you encounter an aggressive dog that is distant from you, don’t egg it on by yelling at it. Don’t run away. This can confuse the dog and cause it to react. Try to stay still if it approaches. Let it sniff you, it may just walk away.  It may just be exploring the area. If the dog comes near and is ready to attack remember the spray you have and use it. Pepper defense spray is effective and safe for people and animals. 

Pepper Spray Ring

Pepper Defense Spray is a valuable self-defense weapon. Both women and men can feel safe carrying it. They come in a variety of strengths and sizes. Some are disguised as women’s lipstick or even a ring that you can wear. Pepper spray is priced so anyone can afford it. Fend off your attacker while you are jogging, on a date, or any situations with an attepted violent act toward you. Pepper defense spray is effective against dogs, bears, and human attackers.

 Active Ingredient In Pepper Spray

Pepper spray usually comes in the form of aerosol with an active ingredient known as OC (oleoresin capsicum), which is Chile peppers. The heat of the Chile peppers is determined by the amount of capsicum in it. Capsicum is 15,000,000 Scoville units when pure, with it being between 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 in majority of pepper sprays. If you are a big jalapeno pepper eater, you eat them at just 5,000 Scoville units, so imagine what it would be like to ingest pepper spray.
Pepper defense spray is serious business!
