Pepper spray

The United States is home to rape, which is a serious crime. Unfortunately, the victims are often not familiar with the perpetrator. Pepper spray can be used to protect victims from extreme violence and harm. These are some helpful tips for using pepper spray effectively. First, spray pepper spray directly at the attacker. Then, fanne it back to cover any spray that was misplaced. Do not turn your head away, but close your eyes. It might take a few seconds for the spray to reach its target.

Pepper spray should be used to target the attacker's forehead. The best areas to aim for are the attacker's eyes, nose, and mouth. You should avoid freezing your attacker. Remember to call 911 if necessary. It's a good idea to have a backup device nearby as well. However, pepper spray can't control the outcome.
