How To Continue To Be Safe Throughout Your Commute

By Jimbo A Lesneyy


My work as a cook in downtown L.A. suggests working late. I used to car-pool with some other waitresses from work however a recent transfer made the light rail transit my sole way for heading home.

Within the first couple of weeks of my commute, I never ran into problems going home. But, 2 days ago, I witnessed a drunk guy harassing another passenger. The experience prompted me to think about pepper spray devices and also other weapons for personal defense.

I looked on the net and discovered a myriad types of defense sprays. I did my research before choosing which kind to get.

I read regarding a 1/2 oz. lipstick pepper spray. It's one amongst numerous types which disguised pepper sprays take. These bank on their own ordinary look to give the user a strategic advantage: the element of surprise. An attacker would not expect a small tube of lipstick to be a defensive tool.

There were also strong pepper sprays like a 9 oz. pepper spray I found which contained 18% oleo resin capsicum, 8% a lot more than regular defense sprays do. The higher pepper content provides a hotter, more potent, and swifter effect.

In addition to the pepper spray form, pepper spray gel is also available. A 4 oz. pepper gel which I discovered online could cover an assailant with sticky, colored gel. Any effort to wipe or rub it off is going to cause it to permeate the skin and also lead to pain. When it's utilized properly indoors, no over-spraying could occur and affect other folks in proximity.

All defense sprays give a debilitating dose of pepper upon exposure to the skin. They are non-lethal as well as result in no permanent injury. However, the unpleasant, burning, and choking feeling created is enough to take an assailant down.

Knowing about pepper spray types helped me make an informed decision about which variant to acquire. Because I might have to utilize mine while inside the train, I went with the pepper gel.
