It went a little something like this....

Pepper spray is awesome....I have one of those ugly billy's that I keep in my truck. Maybe I'll become closer with that on night trips. I'd hate to think you have to start carrying anything more substantial. One thing with OC is when you spray it even if your upwind your going to get some blow back. So if you buy some I would suggest spraying it and seeing what it is like so you don't become disabled and a bigger target for anyone coming after you after you spray them. I have had it sprayed on me and been involved in it being sprayed numerous times and it can really get to you. Don't rub you eyes.... ever, even if no ones around to help you just put up with the pain. Boy thinking about leptar misfortune gives real cause for concern.
