The reaction to WildFire 18% pepper spray is involuntary (not dependent on pain response), so pepper spray is effective on those who feel no pain, such as psychotics, drunks and drug abusers. Pepper spray also works to control wild animals. Tear gas is not effective in these situations.

Tear gas vaporizes to some extent. It may have some effect on a person who is hit less accurately, due to the vapors being inhaled or drifting into the eyes. Pepper spray does not emit fumes, and it will not deteriorate with age, but it must be sprayed in the eyes or inhaled directly to be effective.

Tear gas takes take longer to be effective, anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds, while the effects of pepper spray are quicker. Tear gas also takes longer to wear off and the chemical residue can last for days.

Since each spray has different advantages, some formulations are being manufactured which contain blends of OC (the chemical in pepper spray) and either CS or CN (the chemicals in tear gas).

POLICE shocked a knife-wielding man with a Taser stun gun in Brisbane’s northwest.

Police were called to a disturbance outside a cafe in Carraway Street, Kelvin Grove, about 4.45pm (AEDT). When they arrived, they found a 24-year-old local man armed with a knife.

He dropped the knife when ordered to do so but police say the man then began feeling inside his pockets.

They ordered him three times to raise his hands but he did not comply, and was then warned the Taser would be used.

Fearing he may produce another weapon, an officer used the stun gun. The man was not injured.

He will appear in the Brisbane Magistrates’ Court on March 3, charged with possession of a knife in a public place, public nuisance, and obstructing police.

And not everyone keeps their dogs chained or leashed properly.  On more than one occasion I’ve found myself startled by dogs barking and trotting after me.  Nothing is quite so scary as knowing you may have to fight off an animal with no help and no way to call the police.

I checked out your anti-animal attack products and found the dog repellent.  It’s just what I needed to stay safe when I’m exercising.  No more hesitating or having to go home early because some dog is running around. 

That’s why we decided to spend a lot of time investigating our options for keeping the whole family safe.  You have enough innovative products here to keep the whole family safe at all time.  Regardless of size or ability our kids can take care of themselves when it counts.

We avoid the discomfort of losing track of our kids in busy stores and they don’t even notice the small transmitter.  The child guard monitor is a great idea.  Peace of mind is truly priceless.
