[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 903524, member: 13921"] I carry pepper spray. I have used it twice and both times it worked as advertised. I do not carry it all the time, the nozzle has it's own belt clip, so I slide it on the DVIR slot. It is easy to grab and I only pull it out when I am in a strange area or where I know there is a problem dog. The beauty part of pepper spray is that you do not have to hit the dog for it to be effective. A foot away is close enough to cause them to yelp and run home. My wife and I were at a fundraiser a month ago in the town where I deliver. One of the folks that we had dinner with introduced me to one of his 'friends.' Turned out, he owned one of the dogs I sprayed. He remembered me and I asked where he lived. He said the street and I rattled off all the details of the event that led up to me spraying the dog. Everyone looked at him and 1 asked how he could let the dog run loose. He ended up getting all irritated and left. The guy that introduced me said that he introduced me to start up the conversation to show that he was wrong and that in a group where both sides were known, he would lose. Evidently, the way he told the story, I chased the dog onto his property and sprayed it when it was trying to get to the back door. I actually sprayed it on the road, the dog was between me and my truck and was not going to let me come any closer. The owner saw the whole thing and did not call the dog until after I sprayed. The key with using pepper spray is that you have to use it on public property, like a roadway. If you spray a dog on it's owner's property, you could be liable. [/QUOTE]
