How Effective Is Pepper Spray For Self Defense ?
This instructional video from Concealed Carry Magazine Executive Editor Kevin Michalowski explores the effectiveness of pepper spray as a self-defense tool. It covers what pepper spray is, its various sizes and how to use it. The video delves into the true efficacy of pepper spray in self-defense scenarios, when it might be a better option than a handgun, and critically advises against using it in a deadly assault unless it's the only recourse. Different types of pepper spray, including those with UV dyes, are discussed, along with the important warning that users may get some on themselves during deployment. The video also provides guidance on using pepper spray against an attacker, emphasizes moving to safety afterward, and cautions against "weapon confusion" when carrying it as an alternative self-defense tool.
