That's true and gave me a giggle. This is based on irl experience unfortunately. I hang out with lots of addicts and homeless people, that's a lot of my friend group and I was living in a punk house at the time where an old friend of my roommate was staying on our couch cause she got evicted. She was banging this dude we all knew and knew was a loose cannon, crackhead who looked like Anthony Keidis in 1992 but with dreads for about a month and when they broke up he decided we were fucking her and that's why and he went ballistic in our place and the aluminum bat my roommate had did fuck all and this dude lived on the street for 20 years, he could fight. However always be using blunt force weapons if you gotta use weapons. Jail time and chance of dying in the fight are way less, gun is like, waaaaaay too much unless you're genuinely in a need a gun scenario, I'll admit your probably personally pretty safe with the gun. Never ever bring out a knife tho, it can very very easily be taken away from you and the fight isn't over once you've pierced flesh, it just means your already very motivated opponent had survival Instinct adrenaline going on in addition to the confidence in attacking you they already had, if it's for attacking people knives kick a lot of ass but you should t attack people, for defense they're basically making any confrontation you bring them into most likely lethal to both participants and if not the survivor goes to prison for manslaughter. Gun is like, nuclear option, but other than more dangerous blunt weapons, don't consider an in between. I've been in situations where judging this stuff can be essential, dude then stalked us and camped outside our house and payed someone to brick our window, serious threats do happen and in those, if you genuinely think it's kill or be killed, get a gun, otherwise bear spray is beat, table legs, solid wood bats and rebar are your friends. There is. No in between Hell, if someone else has a knife a longer blunt weapon will make you safer than having one of your own. However, this isn't going to happen to pretty much anyone, my situation is not a normal person situation. Generally speaking your home is perfectly safe with the door unlocked while you're on vacation.
Just a note; Bear spray is often the same formula as pepper spray for humans. Sometimes it even has fewer active ingredient by weight.
It's more how it sprays. If meant for bear longer range bigger cloud.
