1. It’s long been recommended to carry pepper spray as a non- (or substantially less-) lethal prophylactic measure to firearm use; hose down the miscreant, if the spray works he stops, no loud noises, everyone’s all bunnines, butterflies and sunshine. Yippee.

   When the Magic Juice doesn’t work, go to guns, but you (or, more appropriately, “your attorney”) then have the fallback position of “I used a non-lethal means of deterring the attack in an attempt to prevent the lethal loud noise thing but it didn’t work so I had no choice but to employ the necessary and justificable application of lethal force in self defense.”

   Not quite the bunnies & butterflies thing, but a step or two toward it.

   So….what if going to guns is the first step because we know several large caliber holes all the way through in Very Important Places is more effective than Magic Juice and why waste time with that spray crap when you could be shooting his ass, and then hose down the guy after the problem’s been solved? As long as the overspray doesn’t leave a puddle on the sidewalk or it becomes difficult to ‘splain the quart of Sabre Red in the back of his sinuses, who’s to say what the sequence of events was?

   1. The big issue with pepper spray and all those other politically correct schemes is that they let the bad guy come within grappling distance. In scenarios like the one at the top, when that happens it may be too late.

2. I figured they were just buying seasoning.

   I’ve had tom kha kai that probably matches any Saber product for heat.

3. The Denver DA just let off an Antifa guy who shot and killed a conservative protester – who brought bear spray to a gunfight.
