So Just How Do I Carry It?
All of us, everyone you care about, should carry pepper spray
and carry it absolutely everywhere they go. The news is full
of the terrible aftereffects of today's predators. These thugs
and psychos prowl day and night searching for the weak, unsuspecting
and unprepared. Don't allow a quick trip to the corner mart
or a quiet evening walk become a nightmare or worse. Once
you have made the commitment to refuse to be a victim , learn
how to carry and use pepper spray.
Carry the largest size you can comfortably and still maintain
concealment, typically a 2 oz. canister unit that can easily
clip to belt or purse. If you do not carry a purse then select
a belt holster. Practice your holster draw until you can effectively
get it out and on target in a second or two as that may be
all you have. Keep your pepper spray "upside down"
if in the holster so that when you draw it comes upright and
and ready to spray.
For models with a built-in clip keep this on either your
belt, or the front edge of your purse and under the flap.
Try it different ways but what you want is to place it where
your hand can easily move to it in a natural way. Pepper Spray
is a surprise weapon and you want to give your attacker the
least amount of forewarning of the spray. For purse carry
your hand should be able to rest on the canister as you walk.
If you are threatened you can unclip and make ready but if
you develop the habit of "palming" the spray as
you go about your daily routine your self defense system is
instantly available. Even if your purse is snatched from you
the pepper spray is still in your hand and ready to defend
you.
The pepper spray key chain is another handy way to carry
your defense spray. Unlikely to be forgotten and readily in
hand at the vulnerable point upon entering car or home but
you must develop proper habits with this model. Insure you
have a quick-release link, you don't want to have your defense
spray dangling useless with your keys in the door if trouble
starts. Practice to find what's natural for you but either
separate the keys and keep spray in hand or use two hands
ready to rip the spray free even with keys in the lock.
The Mace pepper baton offers another weapon as the mini baton
can be used quite effectively with a little training. Beyond
the spray it can be used to jab and apply painful pressure
locks to control a more powerful attacker.
An increasingly popular way to carry your defense spray is
with a pepper pager. This unit travels unnoticed and is always
handy on your belt. A typical unit carries two canisters for
double the output. This is really a must for real-estate personnel,
delivery persons, office workers etc. as it readily blends
into the work environment. Other disguised methods include
the pepper pen that easily goes with you and can be as handy
as your shirt pocket.
A quite ingenious method of carrying pepper spray, not only
for women, is the Stunning Ring. It comes with a genuine Onyx
stone in a silver or gold plated setting that goes anywhere.
Not solely for date-rape protection, though no woman should
be without one, this ring will always be ready when you need
it. You won't lose or forget to carry this ring and it can
be activated with one hand, the cartridges
are even replaceable!
As we have seen there are a variety of ways to carry your
pepper spray but the most important part is CARRY. Leaving
it at home or in the glove box may cost you dearly, possibly
even your life. Stuffed in a pocket or "somewhere"
in the bottom of your purse is simply not an option in today's
world.
For home defense keep a large canister of pepper spray by
your front door and another by your bedside. But when you
are away from home please carry your defense spray at all
times. Practice your moves till you can be ready to fire in
seconds, even in the dark. The thugs and psychos are out there
looking for easy victims, don't be one of them!.
With an awareness of your surroundings and backed by a powerful
defense weapon, the added confidence in your walk will go
farther than you may think to convince the creeps that you
are likely to put up a fight and this is definitely not what
they are looking for.
Please practice, help your friends, children and others to
be aware of the dangers out there and be ready to fight if
you must.
Don't give a potential attacker an even break, fight hard,
fight dirty, but fight.
Yesterday's advice of passive submission to an attacker in
the "hope" that he may at least leave you with your
life is a recipe for disaster. In the final analysis you will
have to decide how best to respond to an attack based on the
circumstances at the time but consider this, if you have already
"planned" to give in you have preconditioned yourself
to be a victim.
The predators out there can spot this as easily as the lion
in Africa spots the weak ones in the herd as he plans his
attack. Resolve yourself to fight, no one has the right to
assault you, threaten you, terrorize you, and "maybe"
leave you your life. Carry this mental attitude everywhere.
You will find this will serve you well as the predators will
recognize your power and move on in search of easier prey.
