Having migrated from a state the makes it difficult to obtain a concealed carry weapon permit to a state that hands them out to anyone with a pulse, I gave the gun permit thing some thought. However, guns and alcohol are a deadly combination not to mention the possibility of it accidentally discharging on me and becoming a charter member of the Vienna Boys Choir.
So I gave up the idea of a firearm and continue to enjoy my happy hours. However I decided to hedge my bet and went on-line to
http://www.redhotpepperspray.com/fox...r-spray-1.html and ordered three pepper spray dispensers. One each for the car and cart and one for the nightstand. Their videos a quite impressive.
I’m not naïve enough to think that these would provide protection from someone pointing a gun at me but at least in other situations like a mugger with a knife or bat, I could be spraying it behind me while fleeing the attacker and chanting “feet don’t fail me now”.
Understand that the area in and around TV is the safest that I have lived in, but I do occasionally travel around the state and other parts of the country and it’s nice to know that I do have a little extra protection if I need it.
Do any of you carry these and have you or friends actually had an occasion to use them? If so, I’d like to hear.
