No longer do you need to keep
your .45 or AK-57 sitting out on the coffeetable...a
can of wasp spray
will do!



Never would have thought it !!! Good
thought... Wasp Spray



A friend who is a receptionist in a
church in a high risk area 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.

You could also keep it
in your car and it would not be illegal. Thought
this was
interesting and might be of use...a lot
cheaper buying wasp spray then paying a hospital
bill after
being mugged.

Just a word of caution. Wasp spray may or may not work on a determined attacker. People who are crazy or hopped up on drugs may not feel the effects like with mace. I wouldn't bet my life that this will work. uh oh

There is an antidote to wasp spray. I wouldn't believe this if I were you. Sounds made up to me. Urban legend. laugh
