My parents became uneasy when a schoolmate of mine was announced nowhere to be found. Her own mother and father visited our college campus and many of her buddies were questioned, also.

I walk to school considering that we just live a couple of blocks away however this distance did little to make my parents feel at ease with my very own safety. So, my mother bought me a pink pepper spray keychain which she then hooked onto my back pack.

Though I walk home with other kids, there are occasions when their mother and father pick them up and I would be left by myself. This was precisely what my folks were worried about.

Since dad and mom aren't always present to watch me, they believe that kidnappers is going to strike in one of those occasions. So long as my mommy got the compact pepper spray off a self-defense store, she briefed me on how to utilize it and when.

I had seen mini pepper sprays previously however it never occurred to me that I would need one at some point. She got me a 1/2 oz. Pepper Shot with colored leatherette holster. It is a small device that is included with a quick key release key chain. Regardless of its size, it could create 6 to 10 one-second bursts at a range of 6 to 8 feet.

She explained to me that my own key chain pepper spray is non fatal nor any other type of defense spray. I just need to spray directly at the target then dash as quickly as I can. It could obstruct the air passages and enlarge the mucous membrane however the effects will fizzle out in a few moments.

Mommy pointed out to call attention to passersby or go to the closest safe place such as my school or the police station. Once there, I have to call her number or my dad's.

Before I set off for school, I check out my things to find out if my pink pepper spray keychain is there. As scary as the thought of being mauled is, I understand that I am well protected with it even if alone.
