The tale told just doesn't pass the smell test with me as you indicated also.

Let the true believers here produce the police report or a verifying newspaper article. I'm not doing their work for them.

Or....if they like the story, I'm happy for them. I'm an agreeable cupcake.

Why doesn’t it pass the smell test with you? No amount of “leg work” will enable any Freeper to understand why *you* doubt the veracity of the incident mentioned in the article.

I agree. I wondered if it was just me but seems we are getting more and more of these stories that just don’t ring true, makes me wonder why.

My first reaction was the same as yours.

This line sounded like one of those emails that contain too many typical stereotypes to be real...
“She reached into her jacket removed the pepper spray from its pink pleather holster...”

But the link provided is a law blog, and apparently the story is told in the first person by this guy:

J. Patrick Buckley is an attorney focusing in firearm's law, self-defense and use of force law as well as business, corporate, real estate and constitutional law. He is a National Rifle Association certified firearm's instructor and a certified pepper-spray instructor. He can be contacted at Buckley@jpbesq.com or (239) 278-7700.

Although I'm not sure why one would need a "pepper-spray instructor" anymore than one would need a insect-spray instructor.
