DH wants us to go watch a pepper spray training class tonight

It's more fun to watch tasering than pepper spraying.

DH is the poo-leece and has experienced pepper spray several times. In fact, I believe his patrol car still holds the faint trace of the last time it had to be used.
*Sticks note in DH's pocket. Don't use it in your car!*

My brother was a volunteer EMT for a while and he told us of a time he was called to a house because a man had gotten pepper sprayed during a domestic disturbance. The police had handcuffed the man to a kitchen chair with his hands behind his back... he's dripping snot and drooling from the pepper spray, but the handcuffs behind his back make him sit forward some and all that snot is dripping in his lap and he starts complaining loudly that something else is burning, too! Well, I guess that would teach a man not to beat on his wife!

When I was younger my GF at the time was working at a grocery store. They'd had a lot of problems with crime there, so I gave her some pepper spray, and told her if she had to use it, to use it all.

Some employees caught a shoplifter, and took him into the office. He grabbed her by the hair, dragged her out of the store with him, and was telling the other employees that he had a gun and to get back in the store. She got the pepper spray out and lit him up.

When Adam12 rolled up, they found this 300 lbs dude rolling around in the slush in the parking lot, screaming for his mama and Jesus to save him. They got one wiff and knew what was up.

She said they had to go back to their car and hide their faces behind their visi-bar so nobody would see them laughing their asses off.

They found a little .25 auto in the dude's pocket. Luckily, nobody got hurt, except for the perp.

I've had that training, no fun. You have to get it before you are allowed to use it. Which dosn't make a whole lot of since because you don't have to get shot before you can carry a weapon

I suppose it's because on a windy day, you can do everything right and still get a dose of your own chemical weapon, or your partner's. If you shoot yourself because it's a windy day, you either screwed up or you need larger bullets.​

Some people are use to it and it doesnt bother them one bit to get sprayed. But for most people its not fun at all.
