At one time or another, when camped alone in a parking lot or some similar place, we wonder how vulnerable we are. Thoughts lean to self defense. Alternatives discussed at rallies include Pepper Spray, Tasers, and hand guns. However, these may have possible legal, safety concerns, are fairly expensive and may require a permit.
One possible alternative is keeping a can of "wasp/hornet spray" handy. It can spray 20 feet, is inexpensive, as effective as pepper spray and legal in many circumstances. A number of self defense instructors have recommended this for some time. Checking with SNOPES, led to a rather extensive article listing the advantages and possible problems. If you click on the link below, you will be brought to the article.
