So here I am with my friend at an accessory store getting a cleaning kit for my pistol. While I was curiously checking out the different array of knives, holsters and handgun gizmo’s my friend Anwar was busy browsing in those areas of the store where normal people don’t ponder looking.
To his luck (and my misfortune later) he found US manufactured pepper spray bottles which I must tell you are deceivingly small for the potency they pack! While I’m closing the deal on my newly acquired cleaning kit I hear an ominous ‘pssst’ and seconds later I see Anwar going out of the store with his face red and eyes watering. I ask what happened (though somehow I already knew the answer); he mentions hurriedly in his wake that he sprayed himself in the face with the pepper spray!
Before I could start rolling on the floor laughing my ass off I sense a distinct tickle in my nose and whoosh I am hit by the remnants of the spray still looming (and spreading) in this 10X20 shop.
All I want to tell you is that these little buggers pack a punch and I soon join my friend on the curbside washing out my eyes and nose with water (generously provided by the neighboring restaurant).
Honestly, I would hate to be at the receiving end of, as the instructions on this three inch gold and black bottle state, ‘two or three concentrated bursts close to the assailants face’!!
Aahchoo
I tell you the effects are there even while I am writing this note. Looks like I have had my capsicum fix for the rest of the year!
