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. |
You could also just put a can of Wasp Spray under your car seat and you'd be able to get them 20 feet away and be able to easily aim it to the eyes. By the smell of it you may even be able to put a match to it to make sure the culprit was totally immobilized. The Wasp Spray is also recommended for hikers to carry in bear country.
Oh yeah - aim it away from your face!
