At one time or another I have carried all of the above in Southeast AK. Including the spray. Have never had to use any of them thank god.

So I am sure some will chime in here saying you should carry a rifle, or shotgun before a handgun. I am not saying that is a wrong thing to recommend.However there are times when you want piece of mind without the bulk and weight. In my opinion all would give me that piece of mind.

Eat Fish, Wear Grundens, Drink Alaskan.
