Pepper Spray general information
Pepper Spray
Let’s face the reality. Rape occurs every 5 minutes! One out of every three women is sexually assaulted in her lifetime. Assault occurs every 10 seconds. Robbery occurs every 46 seconds. One in five families becomes a victim of crime each year. Every year there are 4.5 million dog attacks. Urban life is becoming more dangerous every day. If you want to keep safe you need to carry a practical personal defense weapon, like pepper spray. Pepper spray is an excellent weapon, because even though it is a non-lethal weapon, its effects last 30 to 45 minutes. That time lets you easily get away from your attacker or call the police.
Are you living in an environment where aggressive animals are always on the prowl? Then you need to always keep pepper spray with you which will save you from animal attacks. In fact, pepper spray has been proven to be more effective than a handgun. Pepper spray is preferred because it can be kept in an easily accessible place. If your children accidentally get hold of it and discharge it, they may be uncomfortable for a few minutes, but they will not be permanently injured. Another advantage of carrying pepper spray is that your weapon has a small chance of being used against you. This personal defense weapon is chosen over a gun because it doesn’t require a great amount of training or practice to use.
Oleoresin Capsicum (or O.C.) actually determines the effectiveness of pepper spray. This oily extract is produced by distilling hot red peppers of the Capsicum genus. O.C. adds pungency to pepper spray, as it consists of primarily carotenoids (the red pigment found in many vegetables), vegetable oils and capsaicinoids (the active ingredient that is responsible for the heat in chile peppers). Ideally, a well-formulated pepper spray should have absolutely no lasting effect, but there are some pepper sprays that contain CFC's, which are known to be harmful to the earth's ozone layer. If you need pepper spray, use our clinically approved and safe pepper spray!
