Essential Things You Must Find Out About Self-Defense Just Before Going To College

By Keri B Colet


A month before I went to Princeton, NJ for college, my daddy and I had a serious conversation regarding my safety. As I would be living alone somewhere which was numerous miles away from them, that talk had to be done.

Considering that I would not have sufficient time to take self-defense classes, he suggested strongly that I look into disguised defense weapons and think about equipping myself with one. It would appear that many pepper sprays and stun guns do not appear like weapons at all.

Daddy specifically mentioned portable defense sprays, just like a lipstick pepper spray that he saw online once. It pretends to be a regular lipstick, making it unnoticeable inside a purse or bag. Enemies would never be ready for disguised pepper sprays.

A defense spray produces a mist which causes a painful burning feeling when released straight to the attacker's face. Even though non-lethal, the effect gets them incapacitated for several minutes, therefore providing the sprayer enough time to flee and ask for assistance.

The opponent will recover after the experience, as defense sprays don't deal permanent harm to their targets. He will be able to open his eyes once again, hopefully, to find that the police have captured him from the crime scene.

Dad took me to an Internet site to show me a 1/2 oz. canister of lipstick pepper spray. It had 20 half-second sprays that can reach a range of approximately 10 feet. I saw that it was available in several colors, as well, to make it a lot more inconspicuous.

So, I agreed with daddy's request. A couple of days after we put an order on the internet, the package arrived at our front doorstep. Upon examining its content, I made a decision that having a mini pepper spray in my purse wasn't a bad idea, after all.

Right now that I am residing in New Jersey, I went ahead and shared with my roommate the advantages of disguised defense weapons. It was a bonding time for us and she has since stashed a small pepper spray inside her bag.
