Oh, in CA it is illegal to carry more than 2.5 oz of pepper spray- how does the govt expect you to be able to protect yourself? What if there are two attackers- I personally have not used pepper spray before and therefore, if I happen to have some on my person, I might not have the best aim. You can’t just practice with pepper spray- can you? Its not like with a .45 which you can take to the range and see how accurate you are.
Does anyone know if pepper spray is a good defense mechanism? What about if it is slightly windy outside- is it hard to be accurate? how far do you have to be from the attacker? Do they have to be right next to me/about to grab me from behind?
Since Health says they are legal, I want to know my legal options to protect myself. Does anyone know the legal specifics? Like states, requirements ect- I had read about that CA law once… is there anything like that for any other state?
