Pepper Spray For Defense - www.selfdefensecorp.com
Learning how to survive an attack by using pepper spray is discussed in the recent
Self Defense Corp newsletter. One of the most important things to remember is to
never warn an attacker when carrying pepper spray or the plan to use the pepper
spray, advises the recent Self Defense Corp newsletter. Surprise works best,
so do not place focus on the pepper spray canister, advises the newsletter or the
attacker may try to take it away.
The recent Self Defense Corp newsletter reveals that police are taught to spray
with their weak hand, leaving their strong hand free to go for their gun if
necessary. This is good advice explains the newsletter, because even when not
carrying a gun or baton, victims still want their strong hand free to block an
attack, grab or strike the assailant.
Never allow a potential assailant to get closer than 10 feet, advises the Self
Defense Corp recent newsletter, because pepper spray doesn't work as well close
up, it needs a bit of distance. Also, the effects of pepper spray are not
instantaneous, reveals the Self Defense Corp newsletter so it needs a few seconds
before the full effects are felt. Even if the attacker does get closer than 10
feet, don't hesitate to use it anyhow, advises the newsletter.
In fact, one technique that law enforcement uses to subdue suspects is to spray
pepper spray on their hand and rub the suspect's face with the pepper spray,
however remember that this is the least preferable option, advises the recent Self
Defense Corp newsletter. If a threatening person closes in, warn them to stop,
then if they ignore the command, assume they intend to cause bodily harm and,
therefore, stop the threat explains the recent Self Defense Corp newsletter. Spray
them now, advises the newsletter, and don't let them close the gap.
Another reason to carry pepper spray, in addition to a firearm reveals the recent
Self Defense Corp newsletter, is in case of an encounter with a vicious dog,
spraying it could cause a lot fewer problems than shooting/cutting/striking the
dog, advises the newsletter. In addition to the legal issues surrounding
discharging a firearm, killing a neighbor's dog will likely cause a lot of strife,
explains the recent Self Defense Corp newsletter. Simply using pepper spray could
stop a dog attack and diffuse the situation without having to tell anyone what
happened, reveals the newsletter.
Carrying pepper spray provides options, and greater flexibility in how to defend
from an attacker, plus how to handle a particular threat. People are safer with
pepper spray than without it, explains the Self Defense Corp newsletter. Subscribe
