Key Ring + Pepper Spray Equal Parking Lot Protection

Two of the most dangerous places for women, in terms of assaults and abductions, are the ordinary mall or grocery store parking lots and garages. Since nationwide reports of crimes against women are still increasing – and have been for decades, it makes sense to carry pepper spray for protection.

Research shows that men are likely to attack and rape women who are busy rummaging around in their purses rather than paying attention to their surroundings. Such women become targets because they are not likely to put up much of a fight or to do any damage to the attacker.

It makes sense, then, to begin with a couple of basic precautions.

• Lift your head. Look around. Pay attention to everything around you.

• Arm yourself with a canister of pepper spray that is easy enough to use and convenient enough to carry that you will actually have it with you.

• Have your keys in hand and pepper spray at the ready. If you should you need to use it you will not have time to dig around in your purse. Guaranteed.
