Lifestyle Defense

When you are choosing a self defense product you have to make sure you know what your doing. Knowing the differences between products is key and that is what I plan on doing. I want to show you the difference between pepper spray and stun guns, this way when you make a choice to buy you will be educated enough to make the right decision. So let’s take a look at the world famous pepper vs. the notorious stun gun.

PEPPER SPRAY   VS.  STUN GUN

–Pepper spray has a range of about 10 feet.This way you do not have to be within close proximity to use the spray.

–Stun guns have to come in direct contact with the body. This makes it a little harder to keep your distance as you can imagine.

–Pepper spray’s main ingredient in capsaicin which is a chemical derived from hot peppers. The only thing one should be concerned with is the ability to build up a tolerance to that chemical. Although it is very unlikely it can happen. Just like eating a hot pepper, once you eat enough of them, you become tolerant.

–Stun gun’s on the other hand conduct electricity which people cannot get used to. If you get stunned your pretty much down for the count. With stun guns ranging anywhere from 50,000 – 1,000,000 volts of electricity you are sure to find something that will stop an assailant.

–Pepper spray’s cost anywhere from $5.00 – $30.00 depending on size.

–Stun gun’s range from $30.00 – $200.00.

–A pepper spray’s size is relatively small allowing it to fit easily in your pocket or purse.

–A stun gun is not much bigger than a pepper spray but big enough to stand out in either your purse or pocket.

There you go. Now that you have something to go by you shouldn’t have a problem picking the right self defense product. What ever you choose make sure you pick something you feel comfortable with and fits your needs.
