subject: The Advantages To Having A Hotshot In Your Purse [print this page] The world can be a scary place but that doesn't mean you have to go around being scared all the time. There are steps you can take to protect yourself from certain personal dangers and you should. Carrying a personal defense tool such as a HotShot can make a big difference in your safety quotient and your peace of mind both.
Pepper spray has been around for quite a while and has become popular for use by people seeking non-lethal self-defense means. Many, if not most, police departments include some form of pepper spray as standard issue. The primary ingredient, capsicum, is a lachrymatory agent, meaning it affects the eyes. It's derived from a species of red pepper plant. A person being sprayed will suffer painful, watering eyes and may even experience temporary blindness.
HotShot is the new and improved, second generation pepper spray. It holds several distinct advantages over typical sprays. It delivers its red hot shot in the form of a visible cloud rather than an invisible mist and is extremely accurate.
The Hot Shot is a light, compact and easy to carry device. It can easily fit into a pocket, purse, backpack or glove compartment. More importantly, it fits inconspicuously into your hand and can be held while jogging, walking across campus late a night or to your car in an underground parking structure or parking lot.
The system contains everything you need including practice cartridges and targets so you can become familiar with its operation beforehand. The launching module is re-loadable and, once you're finishing practicing (instructional DVD included) it should be loaded with the red hot pepper cloud canister. Additional cartridges are easily obtained.
The HotShot sends out a red hot pepper cloud in the face of your assailant. It's the only product of its type that puts out an instant, visible barrier between you and your attacker. The disabling effect will give you the precious moments you need to escape to safety.
