Best way to keep your pepper spray…
Your safety or your family’s safety must be the primary concern. With the increasing crime rates happening everyday, and hunger on low income families around you, one must always be alert in defense of himself or family members and have presence of mind in whatever circumstances.
Not like a key chain spray unit, larger pepper spray units can be carried in several ways in various places. For women the most likely place to put pepper spray is in the purse. What should not be obvious is how you carry your purse. Do not let the spray sit in the bottom of your purse because all a criminal needs is your time it takes to retrieve it so that he can hit you over your head and grab your purse. in carrying a purse, defense pepper spray should be clipped to the front end of an inside pocket, or divider. Clip the unit so it is located inside the purse and easy to retrieve quickly for use in a few seconds. Position the spray in such a way that your hand can find it easily or even hold it while you walk. A purse with a long strap draped over the shoulder is fine. A perpetrator just might think twice about making you his prey if he sees your hand inside your purse. Giving him the idea that you are carrying a weapon for protection.
Another option is fanny packs in carrying a purse for your wallet, keys, or checkbook. The belt portion of the fanny pack is ideal for clipping on defense pepper spray since the belt is fitted snugly around the waist unlike a purse that is loosely hanging around your shoulder. It is always a good idea to keep keys, checks, money, or anything valuable with your address separate from non-critical items such as lipstick or mascara normally carried in a purse. That way, if a thief takes your purse, he will not know your personal data most especially your address. If you carry a fanny pack, do not carry any defense spray out in the open where it is visible. Cover spray with your coat, or jacket. So that it would not be visible for anyone around you.
