How To

How to use pepper spray properly for self-defense

The best way to make sure you don't accidentally shoot yourself in the face while using pepper spray is to wear gloves. This will help prevent accidental discharge from the gun.

The eyes are the second place to target when pepper spray is used. These are the most sensitive parts in the body. The spray could cause severe injury if it hits them. Aiming toward the nose is recommended because it will not burn as much as aiming directly into the eyes.

When spraying pepper spray, it is important to keep the canister in your hands. You need to hold the canister tightly in your hand so that it doesn't fall open. When you are ready to fire, squeeze the trigger slowly. Pepper spray will not work if the trigger is constantly pressed down.

Pepper spray is most effective if it is directly applied to the eye. If you can't reach the eyes, then aim for the nose.

Once the pepper spray hits its mark, the attacker will begin to feel very uncomfortable. He/she may even become nauseous and dizzy. He/she will likely experience intense itching/burning sensations.

Move quickly to safety once the attacker has become incapacitated. Don't let him/her get near you again. Notify the police immediately.
