Pepper Spray As Effective As Gun

For a few years now, I have carried pepper spray in my purse. I never really expected I would ever use it until recently when I heard gun shots ring out in my building (the complex I live at isn’t in a bad area) and a few women have been mugged at gun point in the back parking lot.

As a single woman, living alone, I have to protect myself if I’m to live in an apartment complex where property management no longer provide discounts to law enforcement officers to live in the rental community.

It was a windy day and on these days, dust and pollen blanket the air and I am stuck with itchy eyes and a runny nose. Even though I was ill my curiosity made me wonder if the pepper spray bottle I carried (because I’ve had it so long) was still effective, so I tested the can outside and when I tasted the disgusting mist that bounced back to me I stopped in fear that it would get into my eyes. I went back into my apartment and decided to do my cleaning chores and after a series of sneezes I rubbed my eyes. I had forgotten to wash my hands. The pain I went through was instantaneous. I couldn’t believe that a small smidgen would have created such a horrible, blinding pain in one eye. I had my face under running water for over half an hour.

I suggest that all women and men buy a can of pepper spray and carry it with them for protection instead of buying a gun. I previously never had any respect for the weapon I carried with me, but I just realized how effective it would be in a real emergency.
