NYT Columnist Says Homeowners Should Get This For Protection Instead of Firearms

Surely some … but probably not “most” …

[BitWielder1]

A determined burglar can push through the pain of bear spray.
So can a determined bear.

[uranium penguin]

“I backpack, and it’s well known that bear spray is more effective against a charging grizzly than a handgun.

Has that author EVER actually USED bear spray?

Maybe one of those little keychain night stick thingies would be equally recomended against bears and home invaders?

[hadaclueonce]

Next it will be a Super Soaker with some soapy water.

[bigbob]

sure, if you want to piss off a bear instead of killing an intruder.

[1Old Pro]

What if the guy is shooting a shotgun at you from the bottom of the stairs? You walk out there and spray? I think I’d rather spray buckshot.

[dirtymac]

And, to be honest, I could care less what a foreigner thinks about us.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Wasp spray works well, but has been banned for use against attackers in some areas.

[bunkerhill7]

All my ammo is coated with bear spray.

[taxcontrol]

There are five rules for a gun fight. The first rule is that a gun beats no gun.

"We accept inconveniences to reduce auto fatalities: seatbelts, speed limits, no riding in the backs of pickup trucks. So why don't we accept tradeoffs to reduce gun mortality? In MS, it's easier to buy an AR-15 than to adopt a Chihuahua. Why should that be?" he further tweeted.

If your fellow democrats would quit shooting people, gun deaths would fall to nearly nothing overnight.

I backpack, too (well, not as much as I once did). There was usually a handgun or two in our merry band.

[Cobra64]

This clown talks about “Harm reduction”? In a perfect world, bad guys die. The more, the better. Bullets in bad guys are like clorox in the gene pool.

[Toughluck_freeper]

Reducing legal access to guns increases gun related mortality, does not reduce it.

[ByteMercenary]

One should not discount the satisfaction received from hearing the howls of pain from the home invader thrashing around in your front yard after you unload two barrels of rock salt into his torso.

[IYAS9YAS]

Reducing legal access to guns increases gun related mortality, does not reduce it.

Yup. But that has nothing to do with my original comment.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

The moment that some thug has an allergic reaction to bear spray and dies, the NYT will be calling to ban bear spray. Their position is that you can use any method to repel a criminal as long as it doesn’t hurt them.

[conservativeimage]

I released bear spray my house and all I got was this new carpet, curtains and wardrobe.

[KarlInOhio]

Will I be required to wear Burglar Bells to alert the robber to my presence and not startle him?
