Use of Pepper Spray in Spain

Pepper Spray In Spain the possession and use of pepper sprays are regulated by its Citizen Safety Law the Ley de Seguridad Ciudadana self-defence sprays.

Learn how to grip. Now, let’s look at what kind of pepper spray you have. Do you have a flip top, twist top, or a twist lock model?

Does your spray have a finger grip or not? Get comfortable with it in your hand, and take a moment to get a good grip.

You want a nice, strong grip in your dominant hand with your thumb on the trigger and your other fingers around the canister.

The thumb is critical – this helps you have a steady hold and decreases any risk of it being taken from you.

Flip Top type

If you have a flip top, you’ll slide your thumb under the top of the canister and hold it out in front of you.

But if you have a twist lock, you’ll slide the nozzle to the ‘open and unlocked’ position.

Next: Spray and away. Once you get comfortable storing and holding your spray, it’s time to learn how to actually use it. Pepper sprays and pepper gels deploy extremely similarly, so these tips work for both.

Hold the canister in your dominant hand, and extend that arm out in front of you.

Unlock the safety mechanism, and grip with your thumb on the center of the actuator. Press down. You want to spray ear to ear, across the eyes. Aim for the nose and mouth once the eyes are affected.

If you miss

If you miss the first time, steady your aim, and reverse – go back across the eyes to saturate that area, and then cover the face as much as possible.

Your goal is to take an attacker’s vision away, and cause involuntary eye closure, difficulty breathing, facial burning, and psychological symptoms like fear, anxiety, and panic.
