deportes, Welcome to the forum. About that pepper spray. Only for natural born Mexican citizens. Gringos are allowed no more than 2 red chili peppers
and they must be in a sealed container. However, between the hours of 3 and 5 and 8 and 10 these peppers may be unsealed, as long as no witnesses are
present. They can be sniffed or snorted, but only downwind from any local residents. Violation of the pepper laws can lead to imprisonment,
deportation, or the much preferred sanction, a heavy fine. In short, who knows?

You Are Better Off Carrying a Squirt Gun
Loaded with ammonia and water.

Declare that the ammonia and water spray was in your vehic;e to clean your windows.

Wasp Spray
Wasp spray goes a long distance, is nasty stuff, and legal. That said, never use it agnist any long arms, like AK47's or M16's. Small arms like the
9MM's could be problematic also, I tried it once on a guard dog pit bull, and it shook it head and got very angry, only a good fence stopped him, I
wasted an entire can, cost me about 7 bucks, and if the fence had not been strong enough I would have had bites and wasp spray all over me. I still
think the best defense is a hand grenade strapped to the chest and pull pin clamped in teeth.

I have never used anything like this on someone, but a few times I have been using spray choke/carbueretor cleaner and accidently gotten a small
droplet in my eye. Put me on my knees immediately.
Might work as a defense spray if you were ready and had it in your pocket or something.

let the debate come again....
I have previously posted about this subject. Forget the pepper spray......use wasp spray! It's legal....it's a accurate 20 ft spay....It's
cheaper.....it's handy as hell.
Always do I have one when hiking (for wild animals)....traveling (for wild humans)... and one in the truck.
Here's a link ....for interesting reading.
