Pepper spray is an effective alternative in regards to choosing a personal protection deterrent. There are many reasons why pepper spray is the deterrent of choice aside from a stun gun or taser. For example, pepper spray has a prolonged effect of reducing the mobility of the attacker, it induces choking and coughing, and it causes a severe burning sensation when it comes in contact with the skin.
It does not get much easier in terms of use than being able to use Pepper Spray. All you have to do is aim it an attacker’s face and press the button on the canister. A lot of people have been able to get out of dangerous situations because they used their self defense spray. The features of pepper spray are that it is easy to use, it is very effective, and it is simple.
Another nice thing about buying Pepper Spray is that you can keep your distance from an attacker. With a stun gun you have to be real close and touching him with the stun gun for it to work. The effects of a stun gun will last for several moments as his muscles and nervous system are disabled.
Compare the time frame that a stun gun gives you to escape to that of using pepper spray. With pepper spray your attacker will not be able to function effectively for up to a half hour. He will be temporarily blinded, he will be finding it difficult to breath and he will be choking. And, you have done all this without having to get real close to an attacker. You can stay 8 - 10 feet away and the pepper spray will still be effective.
Most of us have had the misfortune of biting into a Hot Pepper thinking it was a sweet pepper. Remember your reactions? Your eyes started to water, your nose was running and your mouth was burning. Well, the same ingredient is used in pepper spray. It is called cayenne pepper. The concentration of cayenne pepper is much higher in pepper spray. When sprayed right in the face of someone trying to do harm to you that person will cease and desist immediately. Then you make your escape.
Having experienced pepper spray myself (as a police officer, not a criminal, ha!) I can relate to you the extreme, extreme burning sensation to the eyes and the skin surrounding the eyes. Your attacker’s eyes will swell up dramatically and clamp shut. They will have no vision at all. This helps you in that you can run away and he will have no clue in which direction you ran.
The effects described by the use of pepper spray might seem frightening. Don’t worry about causing any long term damage to an attacker. Sure, he is going to be very uncomfortable for awhile but so what. The effects start to wear off after about a half an hour. As far as is known no one has ever died from being hit with pepper spray.
As you can see, pepper spray is a very effective deterrent, and it has many qualities that other deterrents fall short of. When considering a deterrent that will provide the most effective protection from an attacker, pepper spray is highly recommended and it is inexpensive!
