Buy Pepper Spray For Excellent Self Defense

By Jim Wilkinson

Of course sun guns and tasers are good self defense weapons but Pepper Spray is a very good alternative. The reason why is because it incapacitates an attacker for a longer period of time by limiting their ability to function. They cough, they choke, they have trouble seeing and it causes a really severe burning sensation on their skin. This in turn gives you a better chance of escaping the situation.

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.

Can you imagine rubbing an open hot pepper into your eyes? Multiply the effects a thousand times and you'll get a good idea of what an attacker will experience. First off the skin around his eyes will feel like somebody set him on fire. His eyes and surrounding skin will swell up and probably shut completely. He will not be able to see, which is a very good thing. That way you can make your exit from the area and he will not be able to see which way you went.

Don't concern yourself with hurting an attacker. Of course he is going to be in a lot of pain for awhile but the effect of you using the pepper spray will start to fade after about 30 minutes. No long term damage or disability has ever resulted from the use of this self defense product.

As you have seen, pepper spray ranks right up there with other self defense products. It will effectively disable an attacker. You don't have to get close to use it. When you consider buying a personal protection product really take a look at buying pepper spray. It is probably the least expensive self defense product you can buy.
