he got face full of pepper spray while he was reloading his shotgun. So why did the "gun nut" NRA member use pepper spray? He was respecting the "gun free zone sign" and he may or may not have a CCW.
that said, fortunately it wasn't raining, there wasn't a headwind, and the shooter wasn't high on PCP. While it has its place, it isn't a Star Trek phaser's stun setting (which I think would be the perfect self defense weapon, as long as it worked as well as on TV.)
I do think if you are going to carry a pistol, I would recommend carrying a the less than lethal option as well. I don't know if any experts would agree with me on that, that is my personal opinion. Always have options. I might carry the spray without the pistol, but I wouldn't do the reverse, at least in settled areas with humans and domestic dogs.
