Ummm....you think he might be an attorney? Anyone who carries concealed has three things with them at all times;
“Where was this bouncer when the jerk was making a menace to others in the bar?”
A lot easier to take on a girl rather than some big menacing jerk.
That is not what happened. I advise you to reread the story. The lady was acting in self defense.
That is not what I asked.
IMO, the convoluted tale is an info-mercial for pepper spray gadgets and the tale-teller owns or has a financial interest in a business selling or commercially promoting the products.

Apparently so.
Wasp and Hornet spray is super effective at disabling any aggressor, being it feral animal or human. It will spray a stream out to twenty feet and when it hits the facial area, it blinds and disorients the aggressor.
I keep a can in a bookcase next to my door. I also carry a Ruger SP 101 357 while at home and also have a 12 ga. pump within reach. I've been prepared for more than twenty years and have never had to resort to using them for protection, but they are kept ready. Just like a paid up insurance policy.
Since you are convinced that the story is a fabrication, on what basis do you make such a claim? I should like to see your close analysis of the goodly number of details which you claim are not believable at all.
Sounds very believable to me.
I am a BIG believer in pepper spray. I liked this story. My Daughter in 12 soon. I intend to train her with some great knowledge of survival.
"How about pepper balls for a paintball gun?? If youre just trying to repel a group of people"
If you want to try to repel a group of people with less than lethal, you might want to do so with back-up.
*Best spray you can legally buy? Wasp/Hornet Spray.
I like that tip. Thanks. I shall remember it!
“Wasp and Hornet spray is super effective at disabling any aggressor...”
I’d never thought of that. Great tip. Thanks!
LMAO! Sort of my thoughts too. You don’t give em no slack do you.
Right. Even though the lady had reason to draw a firearm, that would have been - at that point - a poor decision.
Pepper spray someone, and in five years you won't much remember the incident.
Shoot someone, and it will be with you forever.
Don't misunderstand me, sometimes lethal force is the only option. But it will permanently change the lives of everyone involved, not just the criminal.
***Pepper spray can be very effective. It is a good tool to have available.****
I believe WASP SPRAY works also well as it has a 20 foot reach. I don’t know what law implications it might have.
Thanks for the tip, I never knew that. I did know that when you spray a wasp nest with it, the wasps drop dead immediately.
Good story but where did Bob go hmmmmm? Did he run away like a little girl?
I have at my disposal: .45, Blackjack, knife and wear cowboy boots. Who needs a Bob that runs away like a little girl.
Where did you get this info? Have you seen a demonstration? I am very curious.
