Spray, and the Kimber "PepperBlaster", can be carried and used, even in campgrounds and other public areas, by people incompetent with firearms, without the fear of someone getting shot. they are also perfect around town and rural areas with agressive dogs too. And from my limited use, they are effective.

But no one tool is perfect and if the only tool you have is a hammer then every problem looks like a nail.



Absolutely agree, especially the concern over armed incompetents in crowded areas. Kodiak has far more than its share on the road system.


Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.
