Your horse as well.  I sure wouldn't want to be on a horse that just got juiced with pepper spray.

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.

Subject: Re: [RC] Lady's Gun/shopping

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...:-) :-)
