If you have been paying attention to current events you may begin to feel like the world is not such a safe place to live and operate. When it comes to defending yourself from assault and aggression in all its forms, there exists a wide range of self-defense options that can administer a non-lethal deterrent on any would-be assailants.
The following is a tip from PPS Asbestos for not of some effective personal defense measures that can work for anyone even those who might be at a considerable physical disadvantage.
All the concentrated power of the fiery chili peppers in ranged attack, which can effectively deter both man and beast. The active ingredient in a pepper spray canister is oleoresin capsicum, a sticky and long lasting natural compound that burns on contact and continues to burn for as long as thirty minutes or longer depending on the pepper spray acquired. This will provide ample time to escape and alert the proper authorities.
The immediate reaction to contact with pepper spray causes the eyes and nose to become intensely irritated. The profuse amounts of tears and mucous from the nose will only serve to spread the burning sensation around the eyes and face. The burning capacity of pepper spray is measured in SHUs (Scoville Heat units), some of the more effective types of pepper spray can deliver 1 Million SHUs over a distance of 7 to 15 feet.
Mace
Mace is another option that can provide a non-lethal but highly uncomfortable chemical attack which can effectively ward-off an attack by a grizzly bear, without diminishing the numbers of this amazing creature.
Mace is the most well-known of the chemical deterrents and consists of about 10% oleoresin capsicum and the rest is CX tear gas, the same tear-jerking potion police apply to dispersing mobs of unruly malcontents and excited sports fans. CX gas has been known to burn the skin and cause temporary blindness for up to several hours depending on the dosage applied.
The Taser Gun
The taser provides a different approach to the encounter. Unlike the chemical deterrents, the taser and taser gun send a powerful electrical shock wave through the body of an aggressor that shuts down all muscle systems.
The taser gun can be fired at a considerable distance to take down assailants over 15 feet away. Once fired the taser gun can be used as a contact weapon to paralyze an assailant at point blank range.
Final notes on Personal Defense
Your safety is not assured by simply carrying one of these fine non-lethal devices. Be sure you take the time to practice your skills drawing, taking aim and bringing down a target in the critical moments you may have to save your life.
