As an employee in the air force and a long-standing military career, Martin has Raaby Pedersen has been exposed to a little of each. But neither a background in the Balkan veteran or more years of close encounters with the martial arts can – with the scrapes these experiences can provide – catch up with the meeting with a dose of pepper spray right in the face.

– I would rather have sex with a lawn mower. It is without a doubt one of the most unpleasant I have ever experienced, ” says the 37-year-old man with more macho-sounding tick on his cv.

a Little more than three weeks after the 1. January was legal for all danes over 18 years of age to purchase pepper sprays for storage and use in the home for self-defense, will Martin Raaby Pedersen like to put my name to warn people against playing with the content from the spraydåserne with a very strong concentration of chili.

Martin Raaby Pedersen’s næroplevelse with the appeasing content occurred in connection with the fact that he himself was taught in the use of it at the Karup air base in denmark, at a one-day-course.

– It was outside of the curriculum and completely voluntary, and I was a little cocky, because I thought it would be so violent to try to get it in the face, tells Martin Raaby Pedersen.

Community – 13. jan. 2019 – at. 14:46 Dealer knocked out of the pepper spray: – It was kraftedeme stupid

A dealer from Maribo would also recently experience the consequence of getting sprayed pepper spray directly in the face. He fortød immediately… Recordings: TV EAST

the Teacher tried according to flyverspecialisten in vain to talk him out of to make the seriousness of his cocky desire.

– Yes, I have regrets, he says without hesitation, and continues:

– You will not feel anything the first half second, but then it is as if the skin pulls itself together and is too small in circumference to the face. Ago follows a terrible, burning sensation, and you will be dazzled.

Although Martin Raaby Pedersen, who is single and lives in Silkeborg, immediately received assistance from a bucket of water, they disappeared unawares genes are not the first three-four minutes. He could then in the milder degree feel the effects of the spray jet the rest of the day, until he was painless the next day.

Martin Raaby Pedersen has with his own words, an ‘ambivalent relationship’ to the new law, which was adopted by the government and the Danish people’s party votes in december last year.

– the pepper spray is undoubtedly an effective means of self-defense, but it will be with the new law is also available for potential criminals, and it is worrying, points out Martin Raaby Pedersen.

One of Martin Raaby Pedersen’s concerns is how to ensure that people only retain and use pepper spray in your own home.

– It seems silly that people are only allowed to have it and use it in their own home. It is such a little, you give people permission to use it, but only on a limited area. To use it in order to be able to defend themselves, but there is a risk to be punished for it, if you do it outside of his own home.

Martin Raaby Pedersen does not believe that the free pepper spray in the Danish home will get the amount of personfarlig crime to fall.

– You can also defend yourself with a rolling pin or a frying pan, then with the new law limiting opportunities to defend themselves with pepper spray, I do not think there will be less violence about a half a year.

on the other hand Martin Raaby Pedersen well, what he will do if he about and a half years are being threatened with a pepper spray.

– So, I will make sure to get away in a hurry. No matter what, I will not take up the fight with a person who has the advantage in the hands.
