that was the plan, but now he doesn’t want to carry it. You can lead a camel to water...

 

I guess the punch in the face wasn't hard enough.

Many attacks are avoided by simply walking away. The OC isn't a guarantee to stop an attack. It's definitely going require a little training to develop a skill to use it.
If you do use OC, learn to run quick.

 

Yes, when possible it's always best to avoid a confrontation. On the flip side knowing when the "trigger" point has been reached and deploying whatever means of self-defense you have available to you at a point where it can be effective is also a key element in surviving a situation. Sometimes being preemptive is really the only avenue to surviving a situation. If you wait for the physical attack to occur you may very well find yourself behind the eight ball with no possibility of avoiding being crushed.

 

This is something that is lost on many. The idea that you never strike first is a recipe for getting crushed if you're confronting a serious attacker.

Just to make sure you are clear... 

 

You can only buy two at a time, but as I understand the regulation you can go back the next day and buy two more and so on and so on...

Check the expiration, and shake it before use. Cops being dicks would spray a small amount in the AC vents in the marked unit as a ribbing.

I carried the OC upside down in the leather case. It was for various reasons. My Sergeant by accident discharged OC in the face and eye during arraignment. The judge was a female. I remember responding to the court to assist. The memo was out to remind all personnel to keep the OC upside down in the leather case.

good tip. The one I purchased has a spring loaded flip up cap to prevent accidental discharge. The other one I bought has a spin top
