Pepper Spray And Why We Need It

By Camry Dalton

I heard on the news not too long ago where a young woman was raped and her face horribly scarred. It made me think about what a dangerous world we live in and how that could happen to me or someone I love. A self defense product might have saved that lady from the vicious brutality she suffered. Now all the women in my family carry pepper spray.

I guess we just never took the time to think how unsafe our lives are. We seem to take for granted that life is so precious and there are people who are willing to harm another human being, no matter the costs. Because we live in such an unsafe world, some sort of self defense device is a necessity of life.

Defensive spray comes in a wide range of sizes. There is some disguised to like lipstick, walking weights, kubatons and fashion rings for women. With so many different ones to choose from, you are sure to find something which will suit your needs.

It is also nice to see that the prices of these sprays are affordable. I had not bought any before because I thought I could not afford them. I have been doing some shopping and have found several places on the Internet. There are also magazines you can get which sell them. Then, you can flip through the pages at your convenience.

Some of them will spray up to 25 feet. That's a long way! You spray it right into the face and eyes. It causes a burning sensation and the eyes shut. That would have to be terribly painful. But, it is not deadly according to what I have been told. It reached beyond my brain's power.

But, this world does not have many people like that any more. People are too selfish, now. They care nothing for others; only themselves. It is only about what they can take. This is the reason that lady was attacked and left for dead. This is the reason her face was badly beaten and cut. This is the reason why we all should take measures to be sure our family members are protected.

My sister took me to a shop which specializes in different types of self defense weapons. Mace pepper spray make sense to me. Now, if you want to have a handgun, I do not blame you. But, for me, I just do not think I could pull the trigger. However, I have no problems with using pepper spray.

This would make a great gift for anyone you care about. It will give them a sense of security and might even save their life. How could anyone not appreciate your thoughtfullness upon receiving such a fantastic gift? Is it not better to have pepper spray and not need it, than to not have it and then need it? - 31373
