If some maskless covidiot violates my space, can I pepperspray them in the face?

[intrepidity]

Because, to me, it seems like an appropriate response to a deadly threat. Is it legal?

1. I sure hope so. Stand your ground (as THEY say)

[Happyhippychick]

2. That's my plan if somebody is aggressive towards me for wearing a mask

[elleng]

3. Depends on how they 'violated' your space;

could be 'standing your ground,' if you're in one of those jurisdictions; could also be 'assault.'

[intrepidity]

4. If they walk within six feet of me

I consider that a violation and assault. But what does the law say, I wonder?

[elleng]

6. May be a 'violation' depending on where you are

and what your governor has said.

7. California nt

5. I think elleng is right, plus you don't want them coughing, tearing up, etc.

But, I get the desire and would cast a jury vote in your favor.

8. If you feel your life is threatened

Stand Your Ground

[Chainfire]

9. If you do not taking a ride in a patrol car

I would say go for it.

10. If a Muslim did this, people would recognize it as the biological terrorism it is

In fact some of the very same people Who insist they have the freedom to shout maskless in other people's faces are the same people who would also insist they had the right to shoot a Muslim who did it to them.

12. Don't forget to use.......

your club to deliver about a dozen shots to the knees, just to be sure.
Who knows, it might actually be a Navy veteran wanting to talk to you.....
