Lifestyle Defense

Of all the self defense products that are available to me, I buy pepper spray.  I have been on the business end of a canister enough times to know what it can do.  Being a Bodyguard, I often find myself in situations that require a way to make someone forget they came over to do me, or my client, bodily harm.  If I need to stop someone in their tracks, I use pepper spray.  There have been instances where I have walked into a situation where my partner was using pepper spray, and he accidentally sprayed me.  It works.  Trust me…

As a husband, I make sure my wife stays well stocked with pepper spray.  She carries a stun gun as well, but one thing we have both noticed is that with pepper spray, attackers stay down longer.  That is more time for you to get away, more time to get help, and more time for the attacker to re-think why he went into this line of work.

Another reason to buy pepper spray, is the capacity to incapacitate a number of individuals simultaneously.  Most attackers are cowards, and a lot of cowards travel in packs.  We’ll call it a Cadre of Cowards.  If you happen to find yourself in a situation when you are dealing with a cadre of cowards, you can try to take them all on with any number of tools, but if you had the foresight of getting something like a Street Wise 17% Pepper Spray with Pistol Grip, you can put an entire group on the ground with little to no effort on your part.  As far as shopping for a deterrent is concerned, buy pepper spray.
