"Hit the sob with esay off and each time he looks t something and all he sees is darkness and he will remember how it happened."

There are some problems with that idea:

1. The thug next to him might snatch the easy-off out of your hand and use it on you.

2. In a stressful situation, it is very easy to point easy-off the wrong way and spray yourself.

A gun would be safer, if you really intend to get that extreme. Better range, it's easier to see which way you are aiming, and a thug would most likely run away, rather than try to get a gun out of your hand. But be ready for jailtime with a high bail set. Be ready for a nasty trial. Don't expect anyone to pardon you. Be mentally prepared to consider all the legal hoops you need to jump through before you know you are legally allowed to defend yourself.

At last... a voice of reason! Thank You!
"But be ready for jailtime with a high bail set. Be ready for a nasty trial. Don't expect anyone to pardon you. Be mentally prepared to consider all the legal hoops you need to jump through before you know you are legally allowed to defend yourself."

As to the Easy Off - Don't even go there! The penalty for spraying someone in the eyes with a caustic chemical would be far greater than brandishing a lawfully carried weapon. Just bringing a can of Easy Off to a protest could establish intent and put you away for a long long time. Some of the "advice" being posted here is just way out in LALAland. One wonders why this matter isn't being taken more seriously. I sure wouldn't send this thread out to anyone in a position to help the victims because of the BS being appended to it. Sure, flame me for this observation because I think it important to get to the truth here.
