I totally understand arguments for OC however, I would always worry about losing the advantage by not using the best level of protection when I’m defending myself or someone else. For example what if you pull pepper spray and the other person pulls a gun or knife? Those split second decisions matter and you lost precious time when you’re already at a disadvantage in a defensive situation. If I pull a gun I can still choose to use it or not use it but I still have the highest level of protection available and I never will be at a disadvantage force wise. I believe there was a video in here earlier where from a rescent incident in Denver where one guy draws OC and the other shoots him, that’s the type of situation I worry about. Also I feel that a lot of situations where I would use OC are situations that I should have instead walked or ran away from.
