At the Military Checkpoint between San Felipe and Mexicali, they picked up my Pepper Spray that is next to my drivers seat, smiled and put it back
into where it is normally resting with a smile and said something about salsa?  JH

I question how wise it is to take on guys with knives or guns, in the middle of the night with a spray can of anything....The days of isolated beach
camping are over....

think it is more effective?

I've heard the same thing.

...x3....there's enough reports of this nature of attack that I know I'd have to start staying -only- in crowded campgrounds.... not. going. to.

Losing my whole van in TJ was bad enough 3 years ago.....if we have to add security and munitions to the essentials list,,,me's done and finished.

Good point... there must be some sort of data collected on the actual real-use outcome of using pepper sprays on attackers. Do they just fall to the
ground in pain, or do they just get super peeed off and start shooting in all directions?!

I have been sprayed in Training-----------you ONLY want to get that horrible stuff out of your eyes and nose-------period. It's very effective on
most people, but not all.

Ammonia water in a spray bottle, works great around the eyes or nose.
Other uses clean windshields, scorpion, wasp sting.
No permit required.

Nothing is legal in Mexico unless you are law enforcement/ military or are connected to a Cartel.

... May I also add, with all the protections, weapons, devices, also keep your vehicle key ring close to the door (my key hook)... I have the leetle
electric button-thingy with the panic button feature; will work from RV to truck, all lights and horns go off, open a window and start screaming.
Oh, did I mention, ''DON'T OPEN THE DOOR" ??
NOBODY comes by at 2:00 am looking for agua. You've been pegged, especially if you're only 2 vehicles on Coco's. Or any other of the beaches; if you
camp alone, YOU'RE BEING WATCHED.
