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.
