someone sent this to me,great idea i think
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck
someone's evil plans for you. Did you know this? I didn't. I never
really thought of it before. I guess I can get rid of the baseball bat
...might save my expensive ammo also.
On the heels of a break in and beating that left an elderly woman in
Toledo dead, self defense experts have a tip that could save your
life. Val Glinka teaches self-defense to students at Sylvania
Southview High School. For decades, he's suggested putting a can of
wasp and hornet spray near your door or bed.
Glinka says, "This is better than anything I can teach them."
Glinka considers it inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective
than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so
if someone tries to break into your home, Glinka says "spray the
culprit in the eyes". It's a tip he's given to students for decades.
It's also one he wants everyone to hear. If you're looking for
protection,Glinka says look to the spray. "That's going to give you a
chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save a life.
Wasp Spray
A friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area was
concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them
when they were counting the collection. She asked the local police
department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her that
she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told her,
can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate, while
with the pepper spray, they have to get too close to you and could
overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until
they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on her desk
in the office and it doesn't attract attention from people like a can
of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at home for home
protection.
Thought this was interesting and might be of use.
