Today I want to talk about a nice article I found online. It is about an event that recently took place in North Carolina, I read about it in one of their local online papers. You can see the original article here: http://www.gastongazette.com/news/white_26072___article.html/pepper_spray.html
There was a gentle me of the age of 46 that was delivering pizza in Shelby North Carolina. He had been doing it for a while so he knew the dangers associated with the job. When you work in a big city delivering anything you put yourself in a lot of danger and self defense is always a concern. Think about it, who doesn’t like pizza? Almost everyone likes it, from the rich all the way down the lowly criminals.
So this pizza guy was sent out for a delivery that seems a little strange. The person that had called and order the pizza stated he had just bought the house and had not turned on the electricity so there would be no lights on. Obviously this set off a few red flags but they still offered to deliver pizza there.
So there pizza man heads out. When it gets there he has a really uneasy feeling about the situation. As he approaches the house it just doesn’t seem right. All of a sudden an armed gunmen steps out of the shadows. This individual demands the delivery mans money and his pizza.
But these hooligans had messed with the wrong person. This pizza man had delt with situations like this before. Knowing the dangers of this job he armed himself with pepper spray. When the crooks demanded money he flat out told him no. And then followed that with a big blast of pepper spray knocking the gunmen to his knees. Just then another gunmen stepped out of the shadows.
The delivery man turns tail and runs. He made it to his truck and got away.
This is story is defiantly a little scary. But it goes to show you just how effective pepper spray can be. His little bottle of pepper spray that probably cost him 10 dolor’s saved his life.
This just goes to show that everyday all of us are put in dangerous situations and the difference between life and death is in how well you prepare.
So to everyone out there this should be a lesson. Life throws us curve balls when we lease expect it. So will you be caught off guard?
