Many different options exist to help you provide better personal protection. TASER's, stun guns, pepper foam, pepper gel, handguns and a wide range of martial arts all provide you with a helping hand when it comes to taking down an assailant. However, the single, most popular option for personal protection remains the tried and true canister of pepper spray. Why is the humble canister of pepper spray still the most preferred option for many people?
Portability – Unlike some forms of nonlethal personal protection, a can of pepper spray can be almost any size. You'll find large canisters, those designed to fit on a keychain and options designed to remain within your vehicle. In addition, you can find pepper shot pens, super concentrated pepper spray and even pepper spray combined with tear gas for an unstoppable combination. Almost all of these versions can be carried anywhere you might like, fitting in the car, in your purse, on your keychain and more.
Effectiveness – Pepper spray is one of the most effective deterrents when an attacker tries to get their hands on you. Most sprays are at least 8% concentrated, ensuring you more burn for your buck; in short, your attacker will stop in their tracks, consumed with nonlethal agony. Pepper spray also does more than simply burning the eyes. It causes the mucous membranes to swell, shutting your assailant's eyes and allowing you time to escape or go for help.
Range – Most pepper spray canisters are effective at ranges of 8 feet. However, you can also find them with effective ranges much greater. This allows you to keep your attacker at a distance and ensure that they cannot close with you, potentially causing harm even when blinded by the spray. With excellent range, pepper spray helps ensure that any would-be attacker is just that – would-be.
Nonlethal – While firearms and even martial arts can be lethal, pepper spray is completely harmless once the effects have worn off. That means that you are able to remain safe and sound, you need not worry about accidents if you have children and that your attacker will live to face justice when the police arrive. You get protection and a clean conscience with this nonlethal form of self-protection.
Pepper spray remains the single most popular way to protect yourself from all forms of personal assault, is safe to carry and causes no lasting harm – no wonder its popularity has never faded.
