Pepper Spray Information
Pepper
spray(also known as OC spray from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, or
capsicum spray) is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that
irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness)
that is used in riot control, crowd control and personal self-defense,
including defense against dogs. The active ingredient in pepper spray
is capsaicin, which is a chemical derived from the fruit of plants in
the Capsicum genus, including chillis.
The HPLC (High Pressure Liquid
Chromatography) method is used to measure the amount of capsaicin
within pepper sprays. Scoville Heat Unit (SHU) testing is also used to
measure the hotness of pepper spray, but this is a subjective test
which changes from person to person and does not measure the actual
chemical percentage within the product.
Pepper
spray typically comes in canisters, which are often small
enough to be carried or concealed in a pocket or purse. Pepper spray
can also be bought concealed in items such as rings. Pepper spray is an
inflammatory agent, not an irritant like Mace. It causes immediate
closing of the eyes and coughing. The length of the effects depend on
the strength of the spray but the average full effect lasts around
thirty to forty-five minutes, with mitigated effects lasting for hours.

line, if they get shot with this they are going to leave you alone!
This shot is hot!! 
Realities
Of Real Estate
Gloria
and Don are thriving real estate agents. They work with one of the
biggest firms in the midwest. They are members of the exclusive million
dollar club. A privilege granted to the best agents in the company.
Only agents who sell over a million dollars worth of real estate on an
annual basis are in this club. It was difficult to achieve. They knew
that hard work had gotten them there and would keep them there.
They routinely setup appointments with customers to show properties.
The properties they sell are in good and bad neighborhoods. They are
particularly proud of the new housing development that listed with
them. These houses were in the $200,000 dollar range and the
commissions would be handsome.
One day they got a call from a prospect who described the type of house
he was looking for, and it fit the new development perfectly. They
played it cool an told the man there are some new houses, but he would
have to hurry because they are selling fast. The Man sounded very
excited and wanted to setup a showing.
They decided Gloria would show the house, since she was falling a bit
behind on her annual quota. She would meet the man in the house at
11:00 AM the next day. She was sure she had a sale. She did her due
dillegence based on the information he provided. The man even provided
a photograph of himself the day before.
Everything was a go and she was ready to show the house the next day.
She met the man at the house. Everything was going well. The guy seemed
to like the house and asked the price. She told him and they began to
negotiate. He looked at her, and said you know your are a very good
looking woman. Gloria thought the comment was not appropriate but kept
on with the sales pitch.
As she turned around to show the kitchen the man grabbed her, and said
if you scream you will die. She could not see a weapon but she knew she
was in trouble. She decided to fight, she stomped the mans foot with
her pointed heel, and began to run. As she was exiting the house, Don
showed up. She jump in his car and told him to drive. She told him what
happened they called police.
When the police arrived the man was gone. It turns out the man was
using a recently deceased mans identification. He was never caught.
From then on Gloria and Don truly worked as a couple showing houses.
She would never show without him. She showed the house and he acted as
extra security.
Real estate agents work long hours to become the best in their
profession. They are particularly vulnerable to crime because they do
not really know the people they are selling to. They setup meetings
with strangers, with nothing more than the information they choose to
give them.
Agents have been assaulted robbed, raped and even murdered at house
showings. Safety and self defense applies to all professions, but
especially in the realestate business. At times real estate agents
frequent parts of town that require extra precaution. They have to go
where the sale takes them. There is some things real estate agents can
do to make their job safer.
Above all get as much information as you can on the individual before
you decide to setup a meeting. A refusal to give information can
signify that the person has something to hide. Have the individual meet
you at the office before you show a home. You can then decide whether
they are legitimate. Once you decide to show the house be aware of
subtle clues that mean trouble.
Although not always the case, a married guy that wants to see a house
alone might indicate a problem. Showing houses at night is a sure way
to get into trouble. Be aware of people who only want a showing at night.
Avoid night showing when possible.
When you go to show a home let someone in the office know where you are
going. Give them a phone number to contact you. A cell phone is a must
for a real estate agent. Have a self defense strategy in mind in case
you need to act quickly.
