I saw this girl had some on her keychain at a party. Girls think that it will help repel attackers, but there’s also a chance that a) it will just píss the attacker off more or b) be used against her.
What do you think? I would say don’t even bust out the pepper spray unless you’re 110% sure you can make it work, like if he’s 15ft away from you or something.
I’m sure some of the people here will have some good info about this so that’s why I asked.

No I DON’T think women should be alowed to carry pepper spray. I don’t know about were u live but I know some mean *****es that would use it on innocent men just for FUN!! :eek: That, and if u alowe it to them.. Soon evryone will have pepper spray. Boys and girls. Then it would be used in criminal acts like robbery or in gang fights. Do we need that? No.
Personal sirens or alarms work better I think. Or martial arts? I dunno.
Even better than pepper spray or sirens:
cell phone.
A cellphone is NOT better than pepperspray. What you gonna do, hit them in the eyes with it? A mobile phone and pepper spary are two totally different things. Most girls have mobile phones anyway. They aren’t gonna save you when the sh.it hits the fan.
If it were up to me, all girls should be allowed to carry a fu.cking glock, to blow the sh.it out of any bloke who wants to **** with them.
I’m with Sharky on this one.
OC Spray rocks!
Why on Earth would someone not want a girl to carry pepper spray??? Everyone should carry, not just women.
I think its a great tool and my chick carries it, not only that but I also bought her mom and sister a keychain set, I used to carry one around but it busted in a desk drawer and my ass has been to lazy to go buy some more, though I will soon.
Sirens and whistles blow rat chunks. Whats a cell-phone good for? To call the cops after you have been raped?
Sharky had the best answer IMHO:D
No, for reasons stated above by some who would agree.
One misgiving was that it might be used for other purposes. This might not be so amusing if the victim had asthma or a serious allergic reaction.
As far as another kind of alarm goes. Well, car alarms are all but ignored now. If you innundate people with enough crisis buttons, they turn off their ears for the sake of sanity. If it can happen with ambulances, it can happen with this too.

My main gripe with chicks with pepper spray is that they sometime leave it in their purse and pull out their key after they get into the car. The rapist isn’t going to wait for her to dig through her purse doods.
So you want to ban pepper spray on the off chance that some teenager may mace her friend who has a breathing problem???
What about the people who will actually need it, what are they supposed to do, fight off the attacker with they kung fu skillz.:rolleyes:
No one here is saying OC Spray is the answer to everything, but used in the proper manner, it is a GREAT tool.
Er.. If they want to carry OC spray, what right do you have to say they can’t?? That smacks of micromanaging other people’s lives to me and it’s what’s made our country less great than it could have been by now.
If someone wants to carry pepper spray, let them.
Mind you, I also think that if someone wants to carry an antitank missile, they should be able to..
It’s illegal here. Cops carry it (no guns).
Still, i’m getting some for my close (girl) friends and for my sister. Maybe some for me too even.
anyway, at this party, this drunk guy wanted to “smell” it so he took it and sprayed it around in the kitchen for 3-4 seconds. Within 15 seconds the entire group of people had run ouside coughing.
That stuff sucks, and I would hate to take a direct hit in the face with it.
That being said, I could barely breathe when it was sprayed in the room next to me. This one chick threw up. How the crap could you take a shot in the face and keep on raping a chick? Dámn, must be some crazy adreneline rush…
Or can you develop a tolerance to it?

It’s good stuff. Buy more than one can so that you can practice and learn the effective range. It needs to be somewhere accessable and you have to be prepared to use it. (sound familiar?) Spray and run, it wears off in a few minutes. Remember, Ted Bundy’s last two victims sprayed him but stayed in their dorm rather than running for help. Big mistake!
Holy ****e, i just thought of something. How much pepper spray is in one container? I hope this kid didn’t use up like 80% of her’s and then she needs it and it’s out.
IronFist
wouldn’t one of those telescopal nightsticks be a better choice?
the cops in ontario carry them and if they find u with one, u can just say it’s a walking stick maybe
i think they are made of a metal or maybe fibre glass but it would still give u the advantage
that is, unless u get it taken away from u by your attacker heh
Dude, it would be VERY hard to describe an asp baton as a walking stick.
GREAT toy though.
meh, it’s just a stick…
the one the cop had was about 3 ft so i guess it is a bit short for a walking stick
but it is still basically a stick so coming up with an alternative use as an excuse to have it should be easy enough
u might get charged if u say ‘self defense’ though
I’m a big fan of tasers. They can drop a 300 pound cokehead like you wouldn’t believe and how are you gonna build an immunity to 50,000+ volts. Now thats what i call conflict resolution 
I think pepper spray sucks. I got sprayed with bear spray once [not by a broad] and all it did was make me eyes water a bit. them broads should just learn how to eye gouge and rip off ears.
i am pretty sure tasers are illegal in very many places
i live in canada so they would most likely be illegal here
meh, if i ever go live in a large city, i’m carrying a telescopal nightstick
they are easy and fast to make larger - just a strong flick of the wrist - and they are better than fighting without a weapon…
probably wanna take some stick-fighting classes first though
