GUARDIAN ANGEL PEPPER SPRAY
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions
    What is pepper spray?

        Pepper spray is a non-lethal self-defense tool that contains a chemical irritant, typically capsaicin, causing extreme watering of the eyes making driving or walking away very difficult when sprayed in the eyes and face.

    How long does pepper spray disable someone?

        The effects of pepper spray can vary, but they typically last from 20 minutes to an hour. The duration of disability depends on factors such as the concentration of the spray, the individual's sensitivity, and the amount of exposure. While the immediate effects, such as intense burning sensation, temporary blindness, and respiratory discomfort, are often significant, they are generally short-lived, and the person recovers once the effects wear off.

    What is my liability if I discharge pepper spray on someone who is trying to break into my home?

        The liability for discharging pepper spray in self-defense against someone attempting to break into your home depends on the laws in your jurisdiction. In many places, individuals have the right to use reasonable force, including non-lethal means like pepper spray, to protect themselves and their property. However, the specific circumstances, proportionality of the response, and local laws may affect the legal consequences. It is crucial to be aware of and adhere to the self-defense laws in your area, as unauthorized or excessive use of force may result in legal repercussions. Consultation with a legal professional familiar with local regulations can provide accurate guidance based on your specific situation.

    Can I install it myself?

        The GA1000 is easily installed by any homeowner using a standard electric drill and screw driver. Can be accomplished in approximately 15 minutes. The GA2000 and GA3000 can be installed rather easily by any skilled carpenter or tradesperson. Installation times vary.
