I am going to get some for my daughter
Where was this bouncer when the jerk was making a menace to others in the bar?
The SOB should have been tossed out on his ear long before this episode occurred.
Good read! Thanks for posting this.
Great story and good judgement by all. I hope the Police explained to the jerk just how lucky he was to still be alive. Had this young lady had her CW on her when he charged she would have been right to defend herself. But good for her to have a backup in hand!
I’ve been looking into adding several cans of pepper spray along wsith some other less than lethal ammo to my emergency stores, but there are so many products out there it’s almost impossible to make a reasoned decision based on nothing more than the advertising alone.
If you were looking to buy multiple cans of the most effective and legal self-defense spray made, what would you buy?
Has anyone else stocked 12 Gage beanbag rounds and any of the other like less than lethal shotgun products??
How about pepper balls for a paintball gun?? If you’re just trying to repel a group of people you could put a lot of encouragement on them quickly that way.
Every bit of prior preparation you make is worthwhile. You never know what might come in handy some day and save you from using your last resort.
Happy ending but wrong conclusion....althought he guy was a obnoxious jerk he never did anything warranting leathal force...the pepper spray was an appropriate level of force...
Who is this guy Buckley that chicks call him in the middle of the night for advice and his wife doesn’t object? I don’t like his tone—its smarmy and boorish and condescending all at once. What is he, a “self defense” instructor for women? So a guy without all of the socially acceptable equipment tried to hit on a woman, she didn’t like him and sprayed him with pepper and got him arrested. And she was thrilled the cops told her to “continue with her evening fun”. So now some sectors of society have implied rights to assault others without legal consequences. That’s what it has come down to. Some people have a lot more rights than others. And the “others” increasingly seem to be straight white males. What a society we now have. And this guy Buckley is joining the pile-on. Has he never had his advances rejected by a woman? Absolutely no empathy whatsoever with this guy? What is he, a closet queer?
Is there a liberal repellant spray?
She should have shot the jerks balls off anyway!>sar<
Just pay attention to the wind direction...
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.

***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.
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.
I don’t know if mace and pepper spray are the same thing or not, but some 30 years ago, my friend shot a puff of that stuff into the air, in front of a Dairy Queen. We were all about 16 or so. The three of us got just a slight whiff of it and we were down on the ground for 5 minutes. Her little gag almost ruined a few people’s vanilla cones. I couldn’t image being shot in the face with that stuff!
Pepper spray was my going away gift when I was young and leaving my small, safe suburban NY home for D.C.
What’s the best brand of pepper spray?
One important note. Pepper spray is a wonderful tool, mostly against aggressive stray dogs. However, though you use just a little bit, usually, it’s probably a good idea to buy a new canister, when next you think of it, and discard the old one.
This is because it is very hard to judge how full one of those canisters is, and the next time you need it, you might need the whole canister.
N.B.: If you are in a much more serious defensive situation, and you need some standoff distance between you and an aggressor, wasp spray is a good alternative, as it sends out a thin stream a goodly distance and is very potent.
If it is an extremely dangerous, life or death defensive situation, use spray on oven cleaner. Alternatively, some strong sprays are very flammable, and make an impressive, short range flame thrower.
