Consider Pepper Spray As Being A Self Defense Option

Turned on the local news this evening and learned another poor woman had her purse stolen while she was walking back to her automobile at the grocery store. This really is getting out of hand. I don't think I've ever seen it too bad around here, and many folks are becoming equally as worried as me.

I'm mainly uneasy for my daughters. I'm not prepared to get them a pistol for their protection, and am not sure they're ready to take that step also, however I would like them to get some type of protection.

Several alternatives I've discovered are stun guns as well as pepper spray. I like the idea of a stun gun, but the only issue is you need to get close enough to your attacker to touch him with the stun gun.

I would opt for an alternative which allows my daughters to guard themselves before any potential attacker gets that close, but still have the choice to make use of it in the event that he does. A close-up shot to the eyes with a burst of cayenne pepper laced pepper spray should knock anyone back a couple of steps and immobilize them long enough for the victim to get away.
