Pepper Spray Versus A Stun Gun: Which Is Best For You?

Pepper spray and stun guns are two of the best options available

for making sure you are prepared for anything. But this is not a

one-size-fits-all world. We all have our own tastes in music,

food, clothing, and lifestyle. Your choice of how you are going

to defend yourself if faced with an attacker is just as

personal.

When choosing between pepper spray and a stun gun, you must

consider three things: Your personality, your geographic

location, and your physical strengths and habits.

Personality

Do you go into panic mode fairly easily or do you stay steady in

the face of a potential threat? People who tend to panic will be

a better match with a stun gun than their braver counterparts.

This is because with a stun gun, you do not have to hit a certain

spot – simply zap your attacker anywhere on the body. Pepper

spray, on the other hand, must be sprayed directly into the face

and eyes to be effective.

Geographic Location

Do you live in a particularly windy area? If so, a stun gun will

be more useful to you than pepper spray. Not only does spraying

into the wind make it likely that you’ll miss your target, but it

could also blow back into your own face. Rainy areas can also

pose a problem for pepper spray use. A stun gun will zap just the

same in windy and rainy weather as it does on a sunny day bathed

in calm air.

Strengths and Habits

Think about your strengths and weaknesses. Pepper spray can be

sprayed from a distance of eight inches to around ten feet from

your own face – some brands and types may spray even further. To

use a stun gun, you must actually press the device up against

your attacker. Can you do that? And since stun guns are harder

to hide than small canisters of pepper spray, think about your

typical attire. Do you layer your clothing or often go without a

coat? Do you wear loose outfits or do you prefer skintight

threads? You must think through how you are going to carry your

personal defense weapon. The newer stun guns are more compact

but pepper spray is still the smallest and lightest form of

self-protection on the market today. Stun guns are heavier and

more awkward to keep secret.

The reality is that both pepper sprays and stun guns will help

you to effectively defend yourself. However, like so many other

things, some will work better for one person but not the other.

Think your decision through before making your purchase. As

inexpensive as they are, you may find it to be convenient to buy

both. Carry a pepper spray on your key chain or in your purse and

have a stun gun ready for quick access in your vehicle. That way,

you can increase the odds that you will be prepared to fight back

effectively according to the circumstances. The choice is up to

you.
