Tell them to hold that thought. Bring the discussion back up when you replace your can. Let them try the old stuff. I've gotten pepper spray on my legs, and that was interensting enough for me. In the eyes, even with glasses, I'd be on the floor. And I have a pretty high pain tolerance.

When I know I'm about to get heckled about my carrying a pepper spray, I try and beat them to the punchline. I tell them, "I carry it to protect my virtue."

If they tell me pepper spray is for girls, I tell them the keychain size is for girls. My magnum size canister is for men.

How about... "It's really not smart to make fun of a guy holding a can of pepper spray"

A gun's just a tool. Courage and tools are completely separate things.

Carrying a gun doesn't give you courage; in fact, some might argue it shows a lack thereof.

Not arguing for carrying or not - just pointing out a logical fallacy.

Right, lets settle this nonsense:
1) Outside of a boxing ring there is no such animal as a "fair fight". If some [censored] demands you fight "fair"- Don't. "Fair" mean a fight in which he/they have an overwelming advantage of some description.
2) There is an old addage that goes: "Twice blest is he who's cause is just but trice blest is he who gets in first" If it goes pear shaped, use it.
3) Any material advantage you can gain over an adversary, use.
4) Point out nicely to your mate that pepperspray is somwhat nicer than the alternatives. After all, most martial art blows, when delivered in ernest are intended to cripple or kill.
You first priority is to survive. Everything else is a secondary consideration. So ignore them.

I like #4 Leigh, and I agree wholeheartedly. "I'm actually being kind to my assailants by NOT fighting with my fists. The can of spray is as much for the safety of those who attack me as for my own defense"
