Pepper Spray Versus A Stun Gun: Which Is Best For You?

Article Description:
====================

Pepper spray and stun guns are two of the best options available
for making sure you are prepared for anything. But this is not a
one-size-fits-all world. We all have our own tastes in music,
food, clothing, and lifestyle. Your choice of how you are going
to defend yourself if faced with an attacker is just as personal.

Pepper Spray Versus A Stun Gun: Which Is Best For You?

Pepper spray and stun guns are two of the best options available
for making sure you are prepared for anything. But this is not a
one-size-fits-all world. We all have our own tastes in music,
food, clothing, and lifestyle. Your choice of how you are going
to defend yourself if faced with an attacker is just as
personal.

When choosing between pepper spray and a stun gun, you must
consider three things: Your personality, your geographic
location, and your physical strengths and habits.


Personality

Do you go into panic mode fairly easily or do you stay steady in
the face of a potential threat? People who tend to panic will be
a better match with a stun gun than their braver counterparts.
This is because with a stun gun, you do not have to hit a certain
spot – simply zap your attacker anywhere on the body. Pepper
spray, on the other hand, must be sprayed directly into the face
and eyes to be effective.


Geographic Location

Do you live in a particularly windy area? If so, a stun gun will
be more useful to you than pepper spray. Not only does spraying
into the wind make it likely that you’ll miss your target, but it
could also blow back into your own face. Rainy areas can also
pose a problem for pepper spray use. A stun gun will zap just the
same in windy and rainy weather as it does on a sunny day bathed
in calm air.


Strengths and Habits

Think about your strengths and weaknesses. Pepper spray can be
sprayed from a distance of eight inches to around ten feet from
your own face – some brands and types may spray even further. To
use a stun gun, you must actually press the device up against
your attacker. Can you do that? And since stun guns are harder
to hide than small canisters of pepper spray, think about your
typical attire. Do you layer your clothing or often go without a
coat? Do you wear loose outfits or do you prefer skintight
threads? You must think through how you are going to carry your
personal defense weapon. The newer stun guns are more compact
but pepper spray is still the smallest and lightest form of
self-protection on the market today. Stun guns are heavier and
more awkward to keep secret.

The reality is that both pepper sprays and stun guns will help
you to effectively defend yourself. However, like so many other
things, some will work better for one person but not the other.
Think your decision through before making your purchase. As
inexpensive as they are, you may find it to be convenient to buy
both. Carry a pepper spray on your key chain or in your purse and
have a stun gun ready for quick access in your vehicle. That way,
you can increase the odds that you will be prepared to fight back
effectively according to the circumstances. The choice is up to
you.
