A simple, but hugely effective
weapon, pepper spray has been traditionally used by men
and women, who often prefer self defense sprays to guns
or other violent weapons. Pepper sprays' main ingredient
is the oil from hot peppers, called oleoresin capsicum
("OC"), which temporarily blinds and otherwise
incapacitates attackers. The OC causes blindness,
tearing, running nose, coughing and burning of the skin
that can last up to an hour after application.

One
of the Most Affordable Self Defense Items
Pepper spray gets high marks on safety and affordable.
You can completely disable an opponent without causing
permanent harm. In fact, pepper spray's effectiveness
and safety have made it a choice for law enforcement
officers as well as civilians: sometimes you don't need
to shoot someone with a bullet in order to make him
stop! Instead, you can blast the meanest guy with
extract from cayenne pepper and make him cry like a
little kid.
Everyone should carry Pepper Spray for Personal
Safety
Pepper sprays have been found more effective than
MACE, which doesn't always stop attackers high on drugs
or alcohol. Because MACE is a sort of tear gas, people
on drugs may not feel it: pepper spray is an extreme
irritant that no one can resist, so it's also preferred
by law enforcement officers worldwide. Human attackers
aren't the only ones to encounter pepper spray. Hikers
use pepper spray on bears who won't take "no" for an
answer, and delivery people often carry it to deter
aggressive dogs.
Pepper sprays are non-lethal, and they allow anyone
to buy protection for as little as $12.95. State laws
vary, so you can buy sprays in different concentrations.
A few state restrictions on Pepper Spray Items
Some states restrict the purchase and use of pepper
spray: in New York, it must be purchased in the state,
from a licensed pharmacist or firearms dealer.
Massachusetts also requires purchase from a licensed
firearms dealer. In Michigan, pepper spray made with OC
cannot be stronger than 2%, and in Wisconsin, OC pepper
spray can't exceed 10%. Check with your local police
department for laws or restrictions before buying pepper
spray.
