OC (Pepper) Spray Training Class

PRICE INCLUDES THE INERT TRAINING CANISTER AND AN OC SPRAY FOR SELF-DEFENSE PERSONAL PROTECTION.

OC (Oleo-Resin Capsicum) AKA Pepper Spray is an organic incapacitant made from pepper plants. It is potent enough for use in self-defense, yet humane and courtroom defensible.  This is an excellent option as a secondary weapon or less-lethal force option.  In this four (4) hour class, students are taught the proper use of OC spray as a defensive tool.

This class requires movement and soft contact with other students in practical application. You will NOT undergo live OC spray deployment.  Inert training canisters will be used (contains water - DOES NOT contain pepper irritant) and you will get wet.
