[StBernard] GOOD ADVICE

[Westley Annis]

A receptionist in a church in a high risk area who was concerned about
someone coming into the office on Monday to rob them when they were counting
the collection.  

 

She asked the local police department about using pepper spray and they
recommended to her that she get a can of wasp spray instead.  The wasp
spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more
accurate, while with the pepper spray they have to get too close to you and
could overpower you.  The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until
they get to the hospital for an antidote.  

 

She keeps a can on her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention
from people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby at
home for home protection. Thought this was interesting and might be of use.
