Milwaukee Bus Riders Get First Hand Experience with Pepper Spray

The choice to carry pepper spray or any type of personal protection is a serious one. It is very important that before buying such items as pepper spray, Tasers, or stun guns you understand the responsibilities that go with these items.

One good example of what can go wrong happened in Milwaukee recently. At least one ambulance responded to a call after something made people sick on a Milwaukee County Bus. Someone may have used pepper spray on the bus. Pepper spray is an excellent choice for protection when it is used and stored properly.

Obviously, if you are attacked on the bus and use your pepper spray, it will not be the end of the world.
Some people may experience some discomfort, however it will pass. One of the great things about pepper spray is that it does not cause any lasting damage. The people on the bus were just let off at a close bus stop and all was well.

The responsibility comes from understanding how to use the canister of spray. This includes how to store it and keep it from discharging accidentally. There are more examples of what goes right with pepper spray than what goes wrong! With simple common sense pepper spray is very safe to carry on a daily basis.

Pepper spray is also a nice option because it is an excellent deterrent. Most people lose their desire to fight or attack another person when they see pepper spray makes an appearance. There may even be no need to actually release any spray. You may be able to get your point across even easier than pulling the trigger.
