Good for less than lethal encounters - Sabre 1.8 oz Pepper Gel Defense Spray

Not every problem can be solved with a kind word or a loaded gun. This is a good middle ground for three reasons. One, it works - i've used this particular can on numerous aggressors and it got them to turn tail. Two, it's a gel, so getting a taste of your own medicine is less likely, plus it reaches further. Three, in most jurisdictions it is not a weapon, though check your local laws. Comes with an elastic belt pouch to put it in.
