1) They make ‘inert’ (contains a non-irritating liquid) mace canisters for practice. A word to the wise ...

2) It’s FLORIDA, for Pete’s sake. They just about invented the ‘shall-issue’ concealed handgun permit. A .357 Magnum does a lot more damage to “knock-out game” thugs than mace does.

The “knock-out” usually involves knocking someone out from behind with no warning. In that condition, a gun is as useless as a peashooter. These perps are risking a bullet in Florida, for sure.

Most victims don't see it coming, and I doubt they have instincts or
situational awareness. And the Guy saw them coming too. I'm a bit confused.

It also seems they're doing the hit then running because they know the laws
and nobody would get away with killing an unarmed attacker running off.

Just have to be aware.

Pennsylvania has had “shall issue” since laws on gun control first began. Florida is a new bee on concealed carry.
