Tell a kid to sit down, they wanna stand up. Quoting: Mr_Electric It's the govt's new way to sell ad space. I'm sure the gun companies made a killing off of this. Threatening a ban on anything is a sure fire way to make the thing being banned to go viral and fly off of shelves. Hmmmmmm... what is the next industry that needs a boost??? Remember when the Mad Cow disease was threatening America? Beef sales went down. Immediately the Media heavily promoted the South Beach Diet which.... wait for it.... promoted eating BEEF! Wake up! There's more to things than meets the eye. Not saying it's all about selling guns, but just wanted to point out the point that I was pointing at. ^^^^and who do you think ultimately owns the gun companies?

They are better than pepper spray since pepper spray is in a fine mist or stream of liquid and could blow back at you. Hornet spray comes out in a strong stream of foam and its range is from 15 to 20 feet, longer than pepper spray. Aim for the bad guy's face. This stuff will temporarily blind them and requires medical assistance. While they are screaming and jerking around blinded you can either run away or hit them with a skillet & tie them up. The nice thing (for you) about this stuff aside from its effectiveness is IT IS NOT MEANT TO BE A WEAPON. Says so right on the can. You can explain away having several cans by claiming there's wasps coming in through the window, air vents or whatever and that you or someone in your household is allergic to them. I have cans in the bedroom, bathroom, and near exterior doors. You could also carry a can in a car or in a large purse. Cost here is about $5 per can.
