My dogwalks are unarmed because I walk right by the high school, junior high and elementary schools.
But I’ve got Kimber pepper spray and a walking club. At least get a can of Raid Wasp and Hornet spray and a waist pack.
Stick to the pepper spray. I’ve read about arrests for people using WASP Spray even in cases of self defense.
First thing written on the can is that it is Unlawful to use for reasons other than killing wasps. Take a chance if you’d like but I wanted to pass that along.
