Pepper Spray. An excellent defensive tool. Why? Because it has an effective distance of 4 to 12 feet. There is no need to wait for an attacker to get in arms reach.
The affects take place in a couple of seconds.
The active ingredients attack breathing and vision, 2 primary targets for self defense. Size, strength, gender, speed, training are completely irrelevant.
It is inexpensive and you can learn how to use it in a couple of hours. It takes very little physical skill and you don't have to have good fitness, so anyone can use it.
It has a strong effect but does no lasting damage so you do not have to injure the attacker to stop them.
You can carry it places you can't carry a gun. You can even take in your checked luggage on a plane.
It is considered a low level of force so you can use it without too many legal consequences.
Anyone over the age of 14 can legally possess it.
I am sure I am forgetting some important points but you can see how it would make a great addition to your personal protection arsenal.
Pepper Spray class coming up in September, stay tuned for more.
