Double Up on Your Defense

I know this blog is about pepper spray, but today I want to talk about some other self defense products you need to know about.

Sometimes having a strong pepper spray alone just won't do the job. Depending on your situation, a Compact Stun Gun or a small personal alarm will come in handy.

If you're indoors and can't use your pepper spray, your stun gun will zap your attacker. A small personal alarm has an loud ear-piercing sound that may send your attacker running away because it'll draw attention.

Having multiple self defense products increases your odds against an attack. These items can be inexpensive and are easy to use. Why not get a few?

How Many Pepper Spray Brands Are There?

If you're searching for the strongest pepper spray available, you're going to go crazy looking at all the different brands, types, formulations, containers, colors...how do you choose?

Popular pepper spray brands are Sabre, Pepper Shot, Mace, Cold Steel, Inferno, Red Hot, Wildfire, Peppergard and more.

The best thing to do is to think about why you want pepper spray, where you might use it, places you would carry it, if it's nighttime or daytime, and who you might use it on.

What you may carry in your pocket or purse everyday will be different from what you would keep at home on your night stand or by your front door. If you're out at night a lot, you may want one with a glow-in-the dark button so you can see it easier.

If you travel, there's pepper spray that fits on your car visor. If you're a runner, walker or jogger, there's athletic pepper spray that wraps on your wrist.

If you're indoors, you may prefer pepper gel over spray because it won't spray back at you if it's a windy day.
Regardless of the brand, think about your use. That's the better question to ask.

What's Going On in North Dakota?

I just read an article from North Dakota that shop owners are having a hard time keeping their shelves stocked....stocked with guns, pepper spray, stun guns, tasers, and other self defense items.

What's going on there? I wouldn't think of North Dakota as a high crime area, but who knows? With all the new oil/ gas drilling going on, maybe the massive influx of people who want work is also bringing the undesirables.

A few shop owners said that most of the products are either bought by women or by men for women they know. Even some of the men said they want to feel protected.

So if you are heading to that state, make sure you have your self defense products, including the strongest pepper spray available.
