No different, really, from using pepper spray. It is a non lethal defense.

The purpose is to have a non lethal means of self defense readily available.

Any more questions?

The question is upside down.

Under what Constitutional authority should it be outlawed?

To toss at bad guys coming through the gate.

I’ve enjoyed the laughs...

The question is upside down.

There ya go, the only guy to actually think correctly.

For those of you that still don't get it, contemplate why the English don't allow their ordinary police (Bobbies) to have guns.

We can’t have volcanoes going off all over the US.

Don’t forget Diet Coke and Mentos.

I am by no means saying it should be outlawed.

I’m simply wondering why people would buy it?

How long is its shelf life? Forever?
