Importance Of Training Before Using A Personal Defense Gadget

By Wanda E Megyese


Sandy was flushed as well as doing the jig. "I downed a criminal today," she boasted. Because of some practice defense spray, it truly gave her the confidence to utilize the personal defense device. And she must have been dead on.

I was initially unwilling to purchase my own child self defense spray but this was non-lethal and left no irreversible damage. The results, an excruciating burning sensation inside the eyes as well as on the skin and breathing constriction, were immediate on contact however short-term, just long enough for a victim to flee the danger she encountered.

When I finally agreed that Sandy could arm herself with a defense spray, I established a condition: initially, she had to learn how to make use of it correctly and also confidently. I argued it was worthless to own the pepper spray however not the skills to utilize this when needed.

Thus, I was grateful for practice self defense sprays which were just like the real thing but made use of water rather than the actual oleoresin capsicum contained in the real product. You were not spending real self defense spray yet training your mind as well as muscles in its use.

However, it isn't advisable to test out a practice spray on human beings due to the nitrogen content which pressurizes the water. It may cause skin irritation or burning within the eyes.

Sandy, being a tough lady, did not believe in practice. However as her older sibling, Sam, stated, during nerve-racking cases the body's automatic response is fear, which includes clammy and shaky hands and a thudding heart.

Utilizing her 1/2 ounce inert practice spray simply got her mind trained with exactly how to handle the device the moment the time came, so that real pepper spray would perform precisely what it was designed to do then: incapacitate the opponent so she could flee and call for assistance.

She wound up becoming thankful for my insistence on her using practice pepper spray. "It just clicked inside my head what I needed to do and the exact timing when I ought to do this," she stated. And the mugger never stood a chance.
