That's what I've heard, goes a good distance,
also read it MAY cause permanent blindness |
I'm sure that none of us NomadsŪ would mind a bunch of blind malandros running around.

Well, if you don't care, might I suggest a green laser pointer:

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 don't know if pepper spray is legal or not but I can relate an experience we had with the military check point just north of Loreto.
We were driving our towed vehicle which, when behind the motorhome is never searched by the military. Since we were driving it, the solders looked it
over pretty good. They found a purse size can of pepper spray in the glove box. The solder brought it out still in the snap close case and pantomimed
spraying it in my face. He did it in a manner which I interpreted to be asking me if that was what it was for. My only answer was yes. He smiled and
put it back in the glove box. So I guess it is legal at that checkpoint.

Yes
Pepper spray is legal, according to representatives of the Ensenada Police and the PGJE in Ensenada. Apparently pepper spray and MACE (there is a
difference) can be purchased locally.
Stun devices such as stun guns, TASERS and shock sticks are not according to the same sources........
However, it is Mexico, and those opinions/answers given at 10:15AM on Saturday, October 29.....can and possibly will vary depending on day, date moon
phase and solunar tables.
YMMV

They used to be sold in the gift shop at the TJ airport. Pre-911 for sure.
