Pepper spray is a safer but still effective method of self defense

What’s the old adage? Better safe than sorry. Having a reliable and safe method of self defense handy is just good common sense these days. Pepper spray has evolved and filled the niche well as a non-lethal method of protecting yourself from troublemakers. Here are four different models of pepper spray we recommend you carry with you.
