I dont like posting I can beat that, childish types of post replies, but I have been sprayed so many times in the last 35 years, out on the road, inside the cell block area, closed places in peoples homes and more than once in the cruiser, I can't begin to count.

It bothers me but I can function just fine without much treatment afterward. You do become use to it, not so much it doesn't bother you, but enough so that after you say, "ah chit, here we go again", you can move on with the rest of your day.

It does hurt though. I feel your pain. As far as the troopers having stuff ten times worse, I think not. What you got is the best they have, and you have. You have to get sprayed with what you use. And you should be just so you know what is about to happen, because you could easily be overcome by a perp if the OC disables you.

I always tell the ladies/men that come in and get O.C Spray only F.I.D. cards that they have to spray it on the hand, not manditory, to see what it is like, so if they spray it on someone they know what they are getting into. Nobody has ever come in afterwards. I can only assume no one yet has tried that or I would have heard.
