Last week in Escondido, California a woman was attacked in her neighborhood entering her apartment complex. The assailant grabbed her from behind tossed her to the ground. He tried to cut off the victim's pants with a knife. She was able to spray him in the face with a pepper spray. He took off but the police are still looking for him. Her life was saved by a pepper spray
Yesterday when I was getting gas at my local Costco, the attendant asked me about pepper spray and told me a story about her friend who was attacked when she was at a downtown nightclub. She used pepper spraying to defend against the assailant.
These and other stories provide anecdotal evidence about how pepper spray is so effective as the first line of defense in an assault situation. When it comes to assault prevention, pepper spray is still the most effective self defense product you can use.
What makes pepper spray so effective? Pepper sprays use a derivative of cayenne pepper, one of the hottest in the world, called oleoresin capsicum or OC. It swells up the membranes in the nose which makes breathing difficult. It also swells the veins of the eyes causing the eyes to close. There's coughing, tearing and shortness of breath. Oh yeah did I mention there's intense pain.
Most pepper sprays are rated at 2 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) a measurement of hotness in pepper sprays.
Wildfire, on the other hand, has 3 million SHU's so it is fifty percent more effective than normal pepper sprays. It is a non-toxic, nonflammable and nonlethal alternative to deadly force.
Wildfire has more size choices and disbursement method choices like pepper gel, spray and mist than any other pepper spray. It comes in sizes from 1/2 ounce all away up to 16 ounce with the pistol grip. Not only is wildfire more effective than most pepper sprays, but is actually less expensive.
If you think crime can only happen to the other guy you are wrong. The "other guy" is thinking the same thing and to him you are that "other guy". There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!
Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of self defense course.
If you are in the market for a self defense product look for quality, effectiveness, and a biggie-LEGALITY. Stun guns are not legal in some states. Pepper sprays have restrictions in some jurisdictions. Check with your local police department first before you get one.
