One disadvantage to pepper spray is (I've
heard tell) if you don't aim correctly, or if something goes awry, it can affect
you just as badly as it can affect your adversary.
I was thinking that maybe the
threads on shopping and guns are related- if you are not a horse person you
probably don't get why ANYONE would pick a manure fork and horse blanket over
diamond earrings :-) and if you are not American you don't get why
ANYONE would want a gun! :-) I'm not and don't know anyone who owns one or has
ever thought of getting one for protection- I think I would faint at the sight
of a handgun, actually if threatened with one I would probably get shot
because I just wouldn't believe it was real!! :-) I have worked and
lived in very remote places- pepper spray is a good defense,a knife is useful
for LOTS of things as well as putting an animal out of it's misery if need be
and really.....................aren't we all riding endurance horses?????? Who
can CATCH us!!!:-) LOL And no I am not
putting Americans down & anyone that wants to own a gun is welcome to it-
it is just such a strange national pastime...:-) :-)

Re: [RC] Lady's
Gun
Good grief, Charlie Brown! Am I ever glad that I live in the
terrorist-ridden Middle East. The only gun I have in the house is a
broken Super Soaker, and I wouldn't dream of owning anything more
dangerous. I have no need whatsoever for such force. I
ride all over the place and have never needed any form of
"protection". It's kind of scary to hear all the people who
need to carry a weapon.
