"Pepper spray (also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, capsicum spray, or oleoresin capsicum) is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) that is used in riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears. It is a non-lethal agent that can be deadly in rare cases."
"Pepper spray is an inflammatory agent as opposed to an irritant like Mace. It causes immediate closing of the eyes, difficulty breathing, runny nose, and coughing. The duration of its effects depend on the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around thirty to forty-five minutes, with diminished effects lasting for hours."
I have got one for myself too. Why? Not that i would have the possibility of sexual assult or something like that. But the road is full of surprises. The pepper spary i have is for those road bullies or who ever that is lucky :)
Put it along with my car keys, the bunch of key is getting larger and larger, but it feels good to have it. Just point and shoot when in such situation.
It may not be in total effective but having it is better than without it. Got some of my colleague asked, guys also need? Why not? Haha...
