A couple more things to remember about pepper spray...it does not work on everyone, be aware of the prevailing winds (it can blow back into your face...I know for a fact that it works on me), and if you have the time (attacks can come on FAST), shake the can a couple of times before you use it (good idea to give it a couple of shakes before you start your day.) The "good stuff" tends to settle to the bottom of the container, shaking it helps it get mixed in with the propellant...
