With crime and personal attacks on the rise everywhere, many people are looking for a safe, non-lethal way to protect themselves. Everything from self-defense classes to guns gets lauded for being the right weapon to use.

Depending on your outlook and what you feel comfortable with, there could be a self-defense weapon or two that you would be comfortable carrying and using.

One of the easiest, most affordable, non lethal self-defense weapons on the market today is pepper spray, which comes in various sizes and containers. There is a unique, accessible and affordable pepper spray available which is easy to use and effective. Key chain pepper spray is actually a small container of pepper spray attached to a key chain. The pepper spray itself has the same strength as pepper spray in larger containers; however, key chain pepper spray allows you the convenience of carrying the spray with you in your hand.

Key chain pepper spray also has a detachable clip in case you want to leave your keys in your pocket or purse.

Key chain pepper spray will disorient your attacker long enough for you to get away and get help. For instance, let’s say you are at an ATM at dusk. There aren’t many people around, and your car is parked close by. As you are completing your transaction, someone comes up behind you and gets literally too close. Because you would have your keys in your hand, you are prepared for anything. If the individual begins any sort of aggression or attack toward you, your weapon is ready. One good spray will force the attacker to close his/her eyes and also become short of breath. While they are dealing with that extremely uncomfortable situation, you can get back into your car, lock the doors and drive away, while calling 911 on your cell phone or finding someone who will.

Key chain pepper spray is a practical and powerful self-defense tool. It is small but mighty.
