So what's a girl gonna do when someone twice her weight attacks her...smack him with her purse? Pepper spray is one of the most effective, efficient ways of protecting yourself.

Call the police and hope they get there in time LOL. Tell the perp to hold on a minute while I dial 911. I'm sure they will let you people who rely on others to save them are only setting themselves up for failure. the only one that can protect you is YOU.

I've said it once and I will say it again....Taking away a legal owners right to own a handgun or pepper spray or whatever else does nothing but hurt the legal owners. gun crime will still happen.

LOL Look at Canada. it basically takes an act of GOD to get a gun yet gun crime is only on a the rise. Hmmmm a lot of good banning hand guns have done. Except NOW the victims can't protect themselves. Like the guy that shot up a strip club next to a day care center (YES I don't understand why the two would be anywhere near each other but they are) Stray bullets collected.... low and behold... the weapon USED to fire those bullets is not registered and was obtained illegally. He wasn't caught.... not a week later the same man (suspected) shot up another club. he still has not been apprehended. How did gun control help prevent this from happening? OH that's right.....it DIDN'T!!!

More and more often in Toronto we are hearing of drive by shootings, armed robberies, shootings at night clubs. and only a fraction of these shootings have led to an arrest ONLY because there was a witness the identified the shooter well enough that the police were able to find them. and guess what.... these thugs weapons are not registered and were obtained illegally. I see gun control really works LOL
