All About Pepper Spray
All About Pepper Spray
With crime being more present than ever these days, it always pays off to protect yourself. Although there are police officers and others out there who uphold the law, you never know when something may happen and they aren’t around. To protect yourself, there are several products and forms of protection that you can get. Among the may products available to you, is something known as pepper spray - which is one of the most common forms of self protection.
Personal protection products such as pepper spray, will work a lot better and yield the most power when you have full belief in yourself. When you have belief in yourself, you will trust your senses, pay attention to what is going on around you, believe in your naturally ability to defend yourself, and show people that you can defend yourself. Although personal protection products are great to have, you need to believe in yourself in order to use them properly.
Protecting yourself is something you simply must do these days. Over the years, personal protection products have become a way of life, with pepper spray being among the most popular and best forms of protection. When used properly, pepper spray can stop humans from attacking quickly and safely. It’s also useful with dogs as well. It comes in an aerosol form, is easy to use, and can stop most attackers in a matter of seconds.
The active ingredient found in pepper spray is OC (Oleoresin Capsicum). The spray comes in 10% or 15%, with a heat rating of 2 million. OC is non toxic, non flammable, and comes from the well known cayenne peppers. When used as a spray, OC acts as an inflammatory agent, causing immediate dilation of the nose, throat, lungs, and eyes - resulting in constricted breathing and temporary blindness. Although it doesn’t lead to death, the effects will last up to 45 minutes, and make attackers feel as if they are dying. The effects will take place immediately, giving victims plenty of time to escape and seek help.
The use of pepper spray is completely legal, although there are certain rules and restrictions that you must follow. As you may already know, you can’t carry pepper spray or any other form of self defense on airplanes. There are also some states that will prevent the use of pepper spray, while others require that you have a FID (Firearms Identification Card) to own or use the spray. To be on the safe side, you should always check with local state regulations before you purchase any form of self defense product, such as pepper spray.
When you are out and about, pepper spray is easy to hide. Women normally keep it in their purse, where it is easy to access. If you plan to carry it in your purse, always make sure that it is easy to access, with nothing in the way. You can also carry it in your pocket or in your coat as well, where you can easily reach it in a moment’s notice. An attack can occur in a matter of seconds - which is why you want to be able to reach it fast.
All in all, pepper spray is a great self defense tool. It can also be a deadly weapon if it isn’t used properly. Whenever you carry pepper spray, you should always follow the safety precautions and rules of the spray. If you use it for self defense purposes and know how to properly use it - you can enjoy the confidence and security that it provides.

Check out the new Kettlebell information site
Just got done (for the day) with the new Kettlebell site that I have started to put together. I have been working out with kettlebells for a couple of years now and continue to look forward to my workouts. They don't get boring, only require a kettlebell and a very short amount of time!
The big thing on the new site is the report, The Kettlebell Advantage. A low priced report, it blows away anything similar that I have seen. I especially like the workouts that are listed, they rock! I have start the Fat Burning workout using a 35# and a 45# for the front squats and doing swings with a 70# homemade kettlebell that I put together.
If you haven't had a chance to work with the Kettlebell, you will be amazed at how quickly it will begin to increase your strength, endurance and decrease your body fat %.
Why am I talking about a Kettlebell site on my Self Defense blog? Simple, if you are not in good enough shape to keep your hands up to protect yourself, you are in for a world of hurt!
We and our loved ones must be good enough shape to escape safely and to be able to defend themselves until they do get the chance to get away!
So to fully advocate for personal safety/self defense I have got to be an advocate for people obtaining at least a minimal amout of physical fitness. At least a level that lets them get away safely!
If you don't want to spend the money on an expensive and time consuming gym membership, check out The Kettlebell Advantage. There are a couple of other resources that you may be interested in as well in your quest for fitness and safety!
