The point I am trying to make is that. 99% of the population of the USA has not been trained in self defense. IMHO women as well as most men would pull the trigger on pepper spray immediately and without hesitation and that in it’s self could save a life. People with morals would probably hesitate in pulling the trigger “just to make sure”. If you have to make sure….I would rather shoot first with pepper spray and run to avoid the potential consequences. Mind you this was originally started based on a potential NOLA situation. Keeping it in that context I would use pepper spray first. If the country is devastated and you corner me, my sister or most likely anyone I really believe would shoot first and ask questions later.

To the point: Most people will have no hesitation using pepper spray in an NOLA situation. No hesitation means a much better chance of getting away. In the event you can’t get away than as I said Shoot!!!

Please see my previous post to see my personal feelings on the warning shot. I learned a lot from that post and have given it deep consideration and yes I would handle the situation differently. Was the warning shot the equivalent of pepper spray?
