Real Deal With Pepper Spray
Posted by protectiondirect on May 8, 2008
Pepper spray is one of the most common and one of the most effective of all the self defense products out there. A short burst of the powerful chemical can cause temporary blindness, choking, coughing and nausea. These effects make it virtually impossible for a criminal to stay aggressive. This is the exact reason why pepper spray is the most popular choice from college students and women.
Anyone that owns pepper spray knows the peace of mind that it can bring you. However, there are a huge number of people out there that choose not to own it because they either think it is too harsh or think they do not need it where they live. This could not be further from the truth. 
Pepper spray may be harsh but that is exactly why it is made for aggressive assailant. In its chemical structure, pepper spray is almost all natural. The active ingredient is oleoresin capsicum which is extracted from chili peppers. Yes, the type of chili peppers you find in Mexican food. Now that doesn’t sound so bad does it? It is usually highly purified to remove any other chemicals that can be harmful to you or your attacker.
It doesn’t matter where you live there is always the risk of being a victim of a crime. Every single state has report of robbery, mugging, and other violent crimes every year. I’m not a doom and gloom type of guy but it is just the truth. Crime is a fact of life that each and everyone live with everyday. You hear about it in the news, in the paper, or even at the local store. Most of these crimes are classified as violent crimes committed on individuals.
Everyone out there needs some sort of protection and pepper spray is defiantly a far cry from carrying a gun. The great thing about it is the many different shapes and sizes it comes in. They range all the way from a half ounce keychain bottles all the way to one pound bottles. It doesn’t matter your need for it there is a solution out there for you.
