There seems to be a lot of dense-bobs on this thread who can't seem to process the fact that OC does work.
Sometimes against some people....yep. I wouldn't bet from one person to the next if it will or won't nor would I hand my wife a can and consider her "safe". How many times have you used OC on someone?
I have no personal experience, but it seems to have worked for some of our members. If it works for them (or you) then go for it.
When you can't carry a gun, or can't carry enough gun, or suck with a gun, then carry bear spray
I can carry a gun and I'll carry enough gun. If someone sucks with a gun they can practice. If it's a "nerve" thing that makes 'em suck, I doubt they'll be any cooler with spray.
You only have to make yourself happy, though.
