Oc spray is a better oprion
Best to carry a good OC spray or pepper spray, stream is best, then aerosol and aim for the forehead, not the eyes. Don't use gel as you must hit the eyes directly for it to work, the other two run down the forehead into the eyes. It's easier to conceal and if it gets taken only costs $20 to replace. Also, the ROE is MUCH LOWER. I've had to pull mine out several times and use it on someone once. Usually pulling it out diffuses the situation. Best to go on YouTube's Active Self Protection and listen to what they say. If I do carry, I do what I can to avoid situations than get into them.
[QUOTE=TomPayne25;7194750]... Moving on, while I'll be the first to admit the ROE for justifiably using a firearm in self defense, in Virginia, are smaller than the "eye of a needle. " However, under "diversity of force" defense, one doesn't have to be confronted by a person with a gun or other weapon. The person just needs to feel imminent threat of bodily arm or death by the aggressor (s). It could be difference is size, say 5-8 vs 6-2, more than one aggressor and you're alone. And until I'm undressed and dreaming the dream, and money has exchanged hands, I've committed no crime by knocking on a door (it's picking fine hairs but holds true).... and after hours of running errands, forgot it was on my hip. In the future, in following another hobbyist's thoughts, I'll pat myself down and make sure I'm only carrying what I'm willing to lose if robbed.[/QUOTE]
