What is Pepper Spray?
Pepper spray is a non-lethal chemical agent which is used in riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs. The active ingredient in pepper spray is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in the Capsicum genus, including chilies. Pepper spray is also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum") or OC gas. Long-term effects of pepper spray have not been effectively researched or published.
Pepper spray is an irritant, causing severe pain when in contact with skin. It also acts as an inflammatory agent, causing inflammation in the mucous membranes of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Temporary blindness occurs on contact with eyes along with intense burning, causing them to swell shut. Loss of balance and muscle coordination may occur along with severe skin irritation, difficulty breathing, and gagging. Psychological effects may include anxiety and panic, especially when breathing difficulties are experienced. The length of the effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with mitigated effects lasting for hours.

Stay safe in your car
Have you ever had a flat tire or run out of gas? Have you ever seen someone broken down at the side of the road but didn't stop to help because you didn't feel safe? Carjacking is theft or attempted theft of a motor vehicle by force or threat of force. Between 1997 and 2002, carjacking accounted for 3% of the 2.3 million vehicle thefts that occurred nationwide. An average of 51,000 completed and attempted carjacking took place each year in the United States between 1997 and 2002. Carjacking can be violent. Keeping pepper spray in your car can prevent you from been beaten and even murdered while being pulled out of your car.

Keep your pepper spray within reach
Our homes are not always the fortress we expect them to be, and the truth is that they can be breached by a rapist looking for a victim. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that over one third of all rape/sexual assaults occur in the victim's home!
Last year there were 255,000 rapes or attempted rapes, of which 6,100 occurred by the man climbing through a window or entering through an unlocked door and attacking a sleeping woman. 84% of the men were unarmed, 10% had a knife, and 6% were armed with a gun. These assaults could have been stopped if the victim had pepper spray.

Self Defense for women walking alone
You might think that your own neighborhood is safe. But most assaults occur within 1 mile of a person's home or workplace. And the risk isn't just walking near your home or to and from a parking garage. A violent situation can happen anywhere, even at the local mall or in a restaurant. Violent assaults can also be committed for reasons of racial, sexual or other discrimination. Violence and street crime can shatter your sense of safety, causing anger, loss of confidence, guilt and sadness or depression. Be ready to defend yourself with pepper spray and send an attacker running.
