Consider Pepper Spray Being A Self Defense Option

Switched on the local news this evening and discovered another poor woman had her handbag stolen while she was walking back to her vehicle at the food market. This really is getting out of hand. I don't think I've ever seen it so bad around here, and plenty of people are getting just as uneasy as me.

I'm primarily concerned for my daughters. I'm not ready to purchase them a gun for their protection, and am unsure they're prepared to have that step also, however I would like them to get some form of protection.

A few alternatives I've found out are stun guns and also pepper spray. I like the idea of a stun gun, but the only issue is you have to get close enough to your attacker to touch him with the stun gun.

I would opt for an alternative that allows my daughters to safeguard themselves before any possible assailant gets that close, but still have the option to utilize 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 several steps and immobilize them of sufficient length of time for the victim to go away.
