The value of hands-on training with your pepper spray canister cannot be overemphasized. In order to use the pepper spray as effectively as possible in a self defense situation, you must know how the spray will come out of the can when you discharge it. How will you aim if you don't know what the spray will look like? Although pepper spray is certainly easy to use (just aim and shoot), for best results, practice using pepper spray before the need arises.
In order to use pepper spray in a self defense situation, you should also develop a strategy for using it. Your plan should be rehearsed both mentally and physically. Conduct practice drills in an outdoor environment with a target. If a dangerous situation arises, the less time you have to spend thinking of a plan, the better. If you have already practiced a similar situation, you can have your pepper spray out in less than a second, quickly taking down your attacker.
In addition to training yourself, you can also enroll in a formal training class by a self defense instructor. There, you will learn invaluable self defense tips, including strategies for using your pepper spray. Check with your local police department to find out where you can take training classes to help you become more prepared to defend yourself. While training classes for carrying pepper spray are not required by law, they can be very useful.
The more comfortable you can become in your ability to use pepper spray quickly and effectively, the better. Your preparation can make all of the difference, helping you survive a dangerous confrontation. As with any martial art or self defense method, practice makes perfect. Consider that pepper spray is a self defense weapon, similar to a baton, stun gun, or similar device. Frequent practice can help you learn how to hold and position the pepper spray for maximum effectiveness.
Before carrying pepper spray, read any instructions that accompany the canister you have selected. While reading the instructions, remove the canister from its packaging to inspect the various features discussed and visualize the positions described. You'll need to know where the safety latch is located, as well as the design type of the canister, so that you know how to hold it.
One of the best ways to practice self defense situations is through role playing drills with a partner. Carry an empty canister where you normally would carry pepper spray, such as a purse or pocket. Have your partner grab you from behind. Pull out your pepper spray, and then practice methods to retain control over the device while struggling with your �attacker.�
If you wish to practice with an actual canister of pepper spray, always do so outdoors and away from other people. Consider purchasing a second canister specifically for practice purposes. First, practice your draw and aim. You don't want to be fumbling with the canister when you need it. Use a tree or shrub as your target to determine the amount of pressure needed on the trigger and how to aim the device. Begin with light pressure, and take note of the path of the stream. Always spray from upwind, and avoid walking into the path of the spray before giving it time to dissipate. Unfortunately, there is little you can do if you spray yourself accidentally.
