The Truth About Pepper Spray and Tazers By Marko Johnson At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Ever wonder what the differences are between pepper spray and tazers? Want to know what to look for in regards to how effective a particular self defense product is? Pepper spray and tazers are very similar yet very different, find out what to look for and what to choose.

Recently I was researching a couple of things and one of the things I came up with was quite extraordinary. Well, it was extraordinary to me anyway but I will let you decide for yourself.

I was trying to decide what was best, using pepper spray or using a tazer. Since I love to provide my readers with good information on such things I dug a little deeper and here is what I found.

If you want to buy pepper spray or a tazer here is what you should look for. Pepper spray is a self defense weapon and tazers are self defense weapons, obvious. When you get pepper sprayed it hurts and when you get tazered it hurts, still obvious. The one thing however is that most people decided to use pepper spray over tazers any day of the week. This was kind of a shock to me but started to make sense after I looked at the facts. So let me show you what I came up with.

Whether you have pepper spray or a tazer you have to make sure it is something you are comfortable using in a dangerous situation. If you aren’t comfortable you can find yourself in more trouble than you were in when you started.

Tazers are great for people that like to buy cartridges of H2O and carry a bulky gun type weapon in their purse or pocket.

Pepper spray on the other hand requires none of that and is usually small enough to fit in the palm of your hand.

Tazers do shoot two prong like dart into your assailants flesh causing severe paralysis but at the same time require you to get somewhat close. Tazers also only have a short effect on the victims. When they are darted they will go down but they have a much faster recovery time than they would have had with pepper spray.

If you spray someone with pepper spray you can pretty much guarantee they are down for the count for at least twenty minutes. Pepper spray is so potent and effective it is used on dogs, bears and anything else you can think of spraying if you feel in danger.

I usually like to recommend pepper spray when someone asks me what self defense weapon I should use. When you add up all the pros vs. cons regarding the two products it is pretty relevant what you should do. Go with something that is light weight, small enough to fit in your pocket, and VERY effective. So if you’re looking for all those traits in a self defense product, pepper spray is the way to go.
