Concern for your own safety or the safety of your family should be a priority. With crime rates escalating to new highs, and with more low-income families moving into your neighborhood that once catered to the middle or upper class, one must be on guard in defense of himself or family members.
If you plan to carry defense pepper spray on your belt underneath a shirt or jacket, position the spray upside down. If you role play with this, you will find that it is much easier to draw the weapon in a downward position off the belt as opposed to upward. Furthermore, position the spray in the holster such that when it is drawn and ready for action, it is properly oriented in your hand in order to minimize its rearrangement.
Practice with this several times a day for several weeks so that you can quickly draw the spray, raise it up, and fire it in one fluid motion.
Try to become “one” with the weapon. Think of the weapon as a part of your body and not merely an accessory tool on your belt. The more that you are familiar with pepper spray as your primary weapon of choice, the more you will have confidence in its use when the time of need comes.
Practice. Practice. Practice. The best heavyweight boxers do not get good by being born with an innate ability to box. They become good at what they do through practice. This should be the same with you. Think of pepper spray as a weapons martial art. It will require practice on your part to become good with this weapon.
