    My wife drew the spray when our dog was getting mauled by a stray pit. I never have.

    I’ve drawn my pistol once, no shots needed to be fired, but the other party immediately ceased hostility.

    Is this a genuine question or bait?

      I’m bipolar, and almost altf4’d myself before, I sold my pistol. So I refuse to own another firearm for my own safety hehe.

        My heart goes out to you. That’s a really tough but ultimately good decision to put as much distance between you and a firearm. We need you, my friend.

        Firearms aren’t for everyone which is where there are many decent alternatives.

        Personally, I am a fan of home pepper gel spray. Unlike other things (like a pepper pistol, or taser, or knife), you can empty the canister on the offending person and if they manage to wrestle it from you somehow, it will be empty and they can’t do anything to you with it.
