Pepper Spray For Self Defense | Tactical Rifleman

Special Thanks to Addie, a friend of our TR family, for volunteering to spray Imri. An even BIGGER “THANKS” to Imri, for taking this spray so all of you at home can see this. I have a few “take away” bits of wisdom that I want all of you to take away from this video: 1. Note how quickly Imri closed the distance on Addie. She already had her finger on the trigger (safety off); she sprayed him solidly in the face, and he STILL reached her. If he wanted her purse, he got it. If he wanted to stab her, he stabbed her. If he wanted to pick her up and toss her in the waiting van, she got tossed in the van. Pepper Spray sucks to be sprayed with, but it is not immediately incapacitating like the Taser is. 2. Note how Imri was able to shoot accurately after being sprayed. If you are ever sprayed by pepper spray by someone with criminal or malicious intent, you fight through and you beat that ass. It will feel like the surface of the sun in your eyes. However, the temperature is actually room temperature. You CAN fight through it. You have to reach down deep inside and get mad at the pain. Scream like Imri if it will help you get there. You fight because you and YOUR FAMILY will depend on it. 3. Note how limp the stream was, when Imri sprayed it at the steel target. You get what you pay for. Better Pepper Spray Launchers (like the Kimber) cost more money, but are worth it. Whichever version you buy, like Imri said, BUY TWO of them so you can practice. 4. Note how the aftermath even made me gag and cough. The mist got all over me. You’ll see me deliberately NOT touching my eyes, for fear of making it worse. For my law enforcement guys out there; understand that if you hose a guy down with this stuff; before you toss him in the back of your cruiser, ensure that you have turned the Air Conditioning & fan off on the dash. Best bet: put him in your buddy’s car. These videos are fun to watch, but I still want you to take the teaching points away also. Knowledge is power. Knowledge can be your best Weapon.

Been tasered and OC'ed. I'd take taser over OC everytime.

Without Further Ado says:

He wasn't properly seasoned without salt, Karl.

Joseph Bradford says:

Reminded me of the N.B.C training I did when I was in the service, stuck a bunch of us in a brick shed and set off some CS pellets…..pukearama to the max ! 🤢🤮

Wallace0333 says:

Awesome vid, you guys are so badass I bet you spray this on your popcorn 🙂 Thanks for taking one for the team so we dont have to, and THANK YOU for all your service!

Brian Bircher says:

Now, that is taking one for the team! I used to work at a place that made OC and CS (the Hoppe's people) and accidentally nailed myself once. Not as bad as a couple other guys did, but it DOES suck!

John Smith says:

This video does about a good a job as i have ever seen just hitting important stuff on OC spray. It shows it can work, and that it can be fought through. That stuff is the devils urine.

gun fan says:

We had to defender against an attacker go hands on then we switched to pistol, one of the guys in my unit dislocated his shoulder during this evolution. Good stuff!

N G says:

Any body else feel like they're watching Norm Macdonalds brother?

John Smith says:

This is the best video.

Cliff Chandler says:

This video was awesome. You could tell that Karl was seriously trying to keep from cracking up. I remember the first time I got sprayed. He ain't lying, it SUCKED but he is 100% right, you can fight through it. I messed up and accidentally rubbed my eyes while driving home and had to fight through it to keep from running off the road and dying.

MisterTracks says:

awesome video

Joey says:

I've had US Texas law Shield for years best investment I ever made

rockerdude8000 says:

I just wanted to see someone get pepper sprayed have no interest in actually carrying it

HardcoreFourSix says:

don't bet your life on a Taser or OC. Tasers have less than a 50% effective rate. When the aggressor is wearing "heavy" clothing the rate is almost ZERO. If bad guy is wearing flip flops and swim trunks, the the rate jumps up but over all it is still very iffy. OC only slightly degrades an aggressor. If the bad guy is within arms reach when you spray him, the OC will do little to deter him. OC is so pathetic that I have never (in 21 years) sprayed a human outside of training. I have deployed tasers about 5 times in my career. 20% effective based on my experience.

Rob James says:

Sabre gel. Accept no other. I use it at work. It has stopped 100% of the knuckleheads 100% of the time.

Chad Hulsizer says:

Lol, this was great watching live haha 😂
