Being a physical fitness aficionado, I keep to my early morning jogging without fail. To add variety for the activity, I do my jogging exercise at different locations. I do realize that there is risk in doing this, particularly in areas where no one knows me or where I have not gone to before. Due to that, I usually carry a self defense pepper spray with me.
One of my most reliable is a Pepper Shot pepper spray, a 10% pepper solution rated with two million Scoville Heat Units. Made of smaller grains, it has a higher strength compared to coarser ones of other manufacturers. Spraying will affect the mucous membranes, leading to difficulty in breathing. This self defense pepper spray will enlarge the veins of the eyes, causing them to become shut. These results will last for 45 minutes.
Pepper sprays are non-lethal weapons so there’s no stress that what your spraying on an attacker would trigger any severe injury. All the effects are short-term but just enough for you to escape and look for help.
Little pepper sprays such as the 1/2 oz. Pepper Pen are useful as disguised self defense gadgets. A strong pepper formula inside a pen-like casing is going to be an undetected tool due to its resemblance to a common and ordinary-looking writing device.
Just like a pen, this particular mini pepper spray could be clipped to the shirt or pants or can be concealed easily in the purse or pocket. Its spraying capability is 5 one-second bursts, with a spraying range of six feet.
The Lip Stick Pepper Spray is an additional strategically camouflaged self defense pepper spray. This convenient tool is hidden inside a lipstick-like tube, in 5 various feminine colors to select from, a great reason that women prefer to get it as their protective device. Its spraying duration is up to 20 half-second bursts which are efficient for up to 10 feet.
An additional disguised pepper spray which has two spray canisters within a unit, is the PepperPager 10% Pepper Spray. This double-action item has 10 to 12 one-second blasts with an efficient range of 8 to 12 feet.
A triple pack of little pepper sprays for 3 times the usage stands out as the Pepper Shot Tri-Pack. It includes a 2 ounce pepper spray for your house, a 1/2 ounce pepper spray for a vehicle’s visor clip and another 1/2 ounce pepper spray attached to a fast key release key chain. With the presence of each self defense pepper spray, attempts to harm me as I do my early physical exercise are sure to be thwarted.
