While I don't carry, I've seen first hand what a shot of bear spray will do to a human. Not just a garden variety squirt can with mace. The stuff capable of stopping a charging grizz is much stronger, pepper based, and some are capable of shooting a targeted fog at a range of 30 feet. I was on a fishing trip in Alaska and a guide accidentally discharged a can that only gave him a glancing dose. He was in instant agony, screaming and clawing at his face. I can't imagine what a full targeted dose might do to some tweaker trying to rob a car wash owner of his cash. Of course, you'll probably end up having to shoot him with actual bullets when he makes bail and comes back after you for revenge.
Do you carry, what and why?
