Use of chemical weapons: terrorist!
“Leave the gun, take the bug spray.”
I hope this woman never has to find out that she is arming herself for a gunfight with a knife.
hair spray would do the job too.
Yep, that will stop a home invader tweaked out on meth.
You have to suspect it works when the first words out of the government are “you can’t do that!”
For a lot of people who lack the willingness to train with a gun, this isn’t the worst alternative, unless you work for the government...;
The Second Amendment says “bear arms” not just guns and in it’s original intent included cannon and other destructive devices.
“Let the lawsuits begin!”
The improved version is amazing: wasps spray and a BIC lighter. No the can will not explode. Use the “shoots a 20 for stream” kind.
Amazing results.
I wonder what Freud would make of that?
From the article:
“Officials at the St. Louis County Police Department responded to the story saying it’s better to use items for their intended purpose and added it’s against federal law to use wasp spray for purposes other than what’s listed on the can.”
Can you believe that?? So, I’m being attacked and use wasp spray and the attacker leaves me alone, but a FEDERAL officer arrests me and sends me to Federal Jail. Good Grief! I live in Texas and they don’t care if I kill the sucker any way I want. Screw the Feds.
Women just don’t understand that if an angry man can get his hands on them, they are dead.
I ran into a 15 year old girl who told me she hitchhiked, when I tried to tell her the dangers she showed me her Buck pocket knife and said that she would stab a bad guy driver in the thigh, in her mind, tough men just stop when injured and in a rage.
I told her that a tough guy would merely grab the back of her head and beat it into the dashboard until she was dead or unconscious, then he would calmly pull over and deal with his wound, and then deal with her.
Bug spray is better than nothing, and will stop some mild mannered robbers, but it is sooooooo far from being an effective weapon.
some women are stupid. My .40 XDM beats wasp spray hands down. And it even works if the wind is blowing my direction!
My wife prefers .380 for spraying bugs.
Well, it is a "pest"icide.
Ammonia. Just saying.
While this has advantages and disadvantages, we should be open minded enough to realize that guns also have advantages and disadvantages, as do knives, swords and other bladed weapons, and blunt objects and other weapons.
I got a very good lesson in psychology years ago, when I saw some capable karate students in a serious ring fight, in which they were required to wear boxing gloves. But other than that it was pretty much MMA. They were used to bare knuckle fighting, and instead of kicking, which they were good at, they were focused instead on the gloves, and did miserably. Finally one of them ignored the gloves, and kicked his opponent senseless.
It taught me that a weapon can be a serious crutch, if you are too reliant on just it. It is far better to think outside the box, and imagine your weapon as just part of the scenario.
And *all* weapons have advantages and disadvantages.
In World War II, the OSS, predecessor of the CIA, taught its agents that *anything* can be used as a weapon, and that they needed to imagine how the most ordinary things can be used as weapons. So that no matter the circumstances, they would be mentally prepared to fabricate a weapon.
This is also an important defensive lesson as well, as your opponent might do the same.
Next idea, ladies?
Might work for Yankees. Won't work in Texas. On the other hand, you won't have to worry about bugs in your car after it explodes.
