Can you imagine that there still are people who have never heard of pepper
spray? Yes, there's also those who don't believe that they would ever need it.
Well, I have news for you, especially you ladies! Anyone,
anywhere, anytime can be a victim, whether it’s a purse snatching or an attempt
to rape you. It could be one attacker or a group. Wouldn’t you rather be
prepared than sorry later? If you value your life, or the contents of your
purse, which may include your wallet, money, cell phone, keys, personal
identification, wouldn’t you want to stack the odds in your favor when it comes
to your safety?
One of the easiest ways to defend yourself is with a small pepper spray. Many come with a
detachable keychain so you can carry it with you all the time. Others can just
be carried in your purse, attached to your car visor, or you can keep several
in different places in your home. A small
pepper spray can be disguised as a tube of lipstick, a pen, a pager, or
even a ring. If you’re out on a date with a guy who turns out to be a creep,
just take out your lipstick pepper spray and give him a blast.
How will pepper spray protect you? Once it’s sprayed into an
attacker’s face, he will immediately start choking and gasp for air. His eyes
will shut from the hot pepper solution contained in the spray. He will be in
much pain. The effects will last up to 45 minutes, giving you a chance to get
away and call for help. No permanent damage
is done to your attacker, so you don’t have to worry about harming him.
Sometimes, just the threat of being pepper sprayed may be enough
for a potential attacker to leave you alone. He’ll probably just move on to an
easier target, but you’ll be safe.
Now that you know that you can carry a small pepper spray almost in a way that is known only to you, don’t
you want to feel safer and more confident when you’re out? It’s like having a
secret. It’s having an advantage over an attacker. It’s like winning a game.
