When do you make the decision to use pepper spray?
Don’t wait until you are being assaulted to think about whether or not you are going to use your defensive spray. After you receive your defensive spray familiarize yourself with this information and the specific directions that come with your product.
Arrange a quiet time where you think about some of the possible assault scenarios whereby
you’d be a victim. You should also make a couple of practice ‘taps’ of you defensive spray (in an open
area with no one around) to ensure that you know how it works.
This is the time to make the conscious decision to spray an attacker and move to a safer location, when
and if you are attacked.
This may seem silly, but it is vitally important to be prepared for bad experiences. Too many times,
I’ve heard of victims who ‘couldn’t think’ or were ‘to confused’ during an assault to make a decision.
Comments like, “I didn’t know if I should use it” or “It happened so fast I didn’t know what to do”
imply that the victims were in a problem solving mode when they should have been in an action mode.
Make the decision now to act.
