Pepper Spray Is Not The Best Option For Children

Hello Everyone,

Today I want to talk about an article I just read that was a little bit shocking. Some people it is an extreme case but I feel it is a perfect example of how in some cases pepper spray should only be used by adults.

This article was a little bit disturbing. It was about a school bus full of children on their way to school. There was one kid in particular that was notorious bully. He was known for picking on younger kids, normally around the ages of 10. And this student was in the 11th grand mind you.

Somehow this student had acquired a bottle of pepper spray. Well, on October 25th during the bus ride to school he decided to bully a nine year old girl. He demanded she give him her lunch money. When she refused to do it and pulled out a bottle of pepper spray and proceeded to spray a continuous stream into this little girls face to the point where she could not breath.

Many other children on the bus were also unable to breath do it being a small enclosed space.

Under normal circumstances only a 2-3 second burst of pepper spray is used and that is more than enough. This student pressed the button and never let go. Many other students tried to stop him but he sprayed them and fought them off.

The bus driver immediately stopped the bus and managed to break up the situation. The pepper spray badly effected several students on the bus including the little girl. Three of them had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital due to severe injuries caused by the pepper spray.

This is a very gloomy story and I was very shocked when I first read it. It is becoming more and more popular for parents to get younger children pepper spray. I’m not saying the parents of this teenage boy had bought it for him, that was not mentioned in the article.

I personally feel in some cases pepper spray can be of a great benefit to children, but there are several things that need to be weighted. You need to know you kids. You want to make sure they are responsible enough to only use it if it is absolutely necessary.

You also wants to make sure they are old enough to take that responsibility. I would not recommend giving pepper spray to anyone under the age of 16.

For those of you that have younger children that you want to keep safe the perfect solution a personal alarm. They can keep it on their keyring and if anything goes wrong they just set it off and it will alert someone that there is an issue.

So the moral is judge your children and really consider it before you give the young ones pepper spray.

Pepper Spray Is The Shiznat

I’m a bit of a pepper spray freak.  When it comes to protecting yourself pepper spray is the best stuff out there.

Most of it is very powerful and will take down most assailants in a short 1 second burst. There is a reason why pepper spray is the most popular defense for college students as well as women. It comes in so many different shapes and size that anyone can find the perfect type for them.

On top of being powerful it is much more powerful than most other self defense products it has no long lasting effects. In comparison, if you use a stun gun on somebody that has a heart problem you could kill them. If you are defending yourself that you probably wouldn’t get into much trouble but it means you would have to spend a whole bunch of time in court which no one wants to do.

If you need to get yourself some protecting I highly recommend getting pepper spray. Having a bottle of pepper spray with you is like having a huge body guard go with you everywhere you go. Now that’s what I call protection.

With the economy going down the drain the crime rate is going to go up. That is a proven fact that when the money goes away crime goes up. People like us are out there everyday working all day long and now we have to worry about someone trying to steal our hard earned money But think about this. Some crazy crack head tries to much you but then he meets the business end of you pepper spray. Instead of him messing your day up, you messed his up. That’s the way to go. Don’t be a victim, keep yourself safe with pepper spray. There is no better self defense product out there to keep you and you family safe.
