We need to take a hard look at our society and try to find out why crimes against women are increasing day by day, every day. More and more women today are single than in any other generation previous. I find it tough to call our society civilized when the number of crime against women is rising faster than most other categories of crime. If you are a single woman and would feel comfortable with some added protection while in the comfort and privacy of your own home, you may want to consider purchasing non-lethal self-defense tools. These tools will give you an added sense of comfort and security when you are home alone, or in areas where security risks are high.
Is it not fortunate that someone had the sense to come up the pepper spray that presents a convenient mechanism of self-defense? Pepper spray is easy to use, it is affordable, and most importantly, it is an extremely effective tool when it comes to self-defense. Pepper spray has been widely used by law enforcement agencies to control riots, enraged animals, or aggressive criminal suspects. Now it is available on the market for personal self-defense that anyone can use. Pepper spray is also easy enough to carry around in a purse, handbag, or even in your coat pocket. By carrying pepper spray, you give yourself access to a very effective self-defense tool and an excellent sense of personal security.
The way that pepper spray will provide self-defense for you is that it contains a chemical compound that will subdue and incapacitate any attacker you should come in contact with. The most effective means of using this self-defense tool is if possible, spraying it directly at your attacker's eyes. When you do this, mucus membranes will become inflamed and your attacker's response is to close their eyes and they may even lose their vision temporarily. Pepper spray also contains agents that will create breathing restrictions for your attacker if the spray has a high concentration. Given that the effect of such sprays can last for just under an hour, you have more than enough time to make a quick getaway.
There are many other methods of self-defense. Personal alarms are also a very effective self-defense tool, and these can be used in conjunction with pepper spray. These often come in the form of small key rings or remote devices that can easily be tucked in a purse or coat pocket. If you find yourself in a high-risk situation where danger is imminent, you can press a button on your personal alarm that will sound an alarm and possibly disarm or scare away your attacker. Some people also report that screaming the word "FIRE!" loudly will also create attention that your attacker will not appreciate.
Of course there will be the more hard core criminal who will not escape solely with shouts and screams. That is where the spray can comes in handy. You only need enough time to get away. Pepper spray is legal in all 50 states, but some states do have restrictions so ensure you check your states guidelines before you use pepper spray.
