If you are currently weighing your choices for self defense weapons, undoubtedly you have seen various weapons disguised to look like everyday objects. This is particularly popular in the case of pepper spray canisters.
You will have the element of surprise. When concealed in an object shaped like a pen or another everyday object, your attacker will not expect the blast of pepper spray.
Ordinary pepper spray canisters look exactly like a spray paint can, and will be immediately recognizable to any attacker. Grabbing a regular can of pepper spray gives the attacker time to cover his eyes and face, and will make the shot of pepper spray less effective.
Those extra few seconds before he realizes what you are doing are crucial to aiming the pepper spray directly in your attacker’s face, where it will blind him long enough for you to get away.
