By Dustin Aaron


Pepper Spray is a decent self protection option. Pepper spray can be used to discourage or distract an attacker long enough for you to retreat to protection. If you are not secure carrying a concealed handgun, then you should consider carrying pepper spray for personal protection.

Before you use pepper spray, you should make certain that it is legal in your state or city. The most efficient method to do this is to speak with your local police department by dialing the non-emergency number and asking them about the legal aspects of having pepper spray for personal defense in your state. A multitude of states limit the size of the pepper spray cylinder, and some states control the chemicals that make up your self defense spray. Some states make a differentiation between pepper spray that is for use on wild animals, and pepper spray that is for use against human assailants.

As soon as you learn the pepper spray rules in your state, you should enroll in a self-defense class that teaches you how to use pepper spray for personal protection. The majority of of these training courses are taught at your local gun range, or at your local martial arts establishment. Locating these lessons is as simple as running an internet search.

Once you have completed a formal training program, you ought to decide what kind of pepper spray you are going to purchase. I'm certain your class instructor will have an opinion on what kind of pepper spray you should carry, and it might be best to listen to that advice.

The principal ingredient in pepper spray is Oleoresin Capsicum, which is often abbreviated OC. This is the substance that makes peppers hot. Pepper sprays are sold in multiple capsicum quantities, different spray patterns, and different size bottles. They are also sold in differing levels of "hotness." Make sure that the pepper spray you buy is sufficient enough to prevent the threat that you are preparing for.

Finally, it is crucial that you train to deploy your pepper spray in an emergency situation. If you are in a perilous area, you should already have it in your hand and at the ready. If you are assaulted, remember that your pepper spray is principally designed to buy you time to break free. Aim for your attacker's face, spray the threat, then run to safety.
