Pointers On Protecting Yourself As You Walk Home

By Qilly B Reqiehs


The latest mugging report that I learned shook me: the girl was raped and left for dead even after she gave them all her cash as well as valuable items. The victim was found several blocks from where I resided.

As a bartender, I always go back home late. Given that my apartment is just 2 blocks from exactly where I work, I often walk home. Soon after learning about the news, I made a decision to obtain my own self-defense weapon. I asked a fellow bartender if he was aware where to buy pepper spray or any other such devices.

Pepper spray is a non-lethal weapon which, when sprayed on your opponent, causes a burning sensation onto the skin as well as in the eyes. Since he or she is suffering from the pain, you can run away from the area and also call for assistance. What is good about this is that absolutely no long term damage is caused on the attacker.

The moment I went on the web, I looked up a web site which offered defense sprays. I came across a 4 oz. pepper spray stream. This specific one could spray up to a range of 15 to 18 feet, offering you a comfortable enough distance from your enemy.

Then, there was a lipstick pepper spray. The disguised pepper spray resembles a real lipstick and is made for a woman's use. Whenever you feel that another person is hiding nearby, you could get it from your bag and just pretend that you need a retouch.

Finally, I stumbled upon a 4 oz. pepper spray which contained 18% oleo resin capsicum. Aside from the typical effects of defense sprays, strong pepper spray like this is immediately absorbed by the skin, shuts the eyes, and affects the respiratory system.

I bought the 18% pepper spray since I wanted an extra oomph in taking an attacker down. With its extra effects, I can be certain that I can put a distance of 200 meters or so between us before he or she recovers from incapacitation.

Learning where to buy pepper spray and also having one may be precisely what you require to safeguard yourself. If I were you, I would act on it today.
