Buy Pepper Spray for Your Protection



There are many reasons why women and men buy pepper spray but today, many more women carry the spray for protection then men. Studies show that over 25% of women will be sexually assaulted some time before they reach eighteen years of age. Reports claim that one female is assaulted sexually every five minutes here in the US alone. Since many victims do not report the crime, the rate is even higher than they estimate. Sexual assault is only one serious crime that can be deterred by pepper spray. Many people are also victim to robbery and battery. Pepper spray has been found to be very helpful in keeping offenders at bay and can help you from becoming the next victim of a brutal crime.

When you buy pepper spray for protection you can count on the spray to deter the criminal. The pepper spray contains an ingredient known as oleoresin capsicum which is made of hot cayenne peppers along with other peppers. These peppers cause inflammation and can be extremely painful when sprayed into the eyes of the perpetrator. Pepper spray can cause temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, intense burning, and can make the perpetrator disoriented.

When you buy pepper spray you will want to learn the proper way to use it. Pepper spray works similarly to an aerosol spray can. Practice using your spray before you become a victim. Learn how to aim the spray and at what pressure you will need to press onto the release button. When practicing, remember to point it away from yourself and everyone around you. It's best to practice spraying your pepper spray outdoors on a windless day. If you should happen to get pepper spray in your eyes or face, try using milk, honey, sour cream or a paste made of baking soda to take the sting away.

Before you buy pepper spray you will want to make sure it is legal in your area. Be aware that pepper spray is not allowed on airlines. Some states also have restrictions and require you to obtain a Firearms Identification Card in order to carry pepper spray. Pepper spray is not only used to fend off human attackers but can be used again dogs, bears and more. Pepper spray comes in many canned forms; some are used to disguise the spray itself. Some pepper sprays are manufactured to hang on your keychain, giving you quick and easy access in case you need to defend yourself. Others are small enough to fit in your purse, while others are disguised to look like a tube of lipstick. No matter which type you choose, buy pepper spray and protect yourself and family.
