- The sale and use of products like Mace and Tear Gas
- has become common. Unfortunately, some of these
- products are not as effective as the manufacturer
- would have you believe.
-
- Check for effectiveness against attackers who are
- intoxicated. Many would be assailants are often high
- on something.
-
- Also, in order to use these products effectively,
- the finger needs to be on the button before you
- are attacked.
-
- These products usually come in a snap-close carrying
- case. Keeping the case open and in hand while you
- are walking where you feel threatened will help
- ensure effectiveness.
-
- Point of information : Many people are targetted
- because they look weak or vulnerable. Therefore a
- feeling of security is good.
