There are people who make so much money that the price tag for anything but the most expensive real estate or a yacht is basically meaningless to them.

Yes sir, you are correct. It's a great too for some environments like prison for example, not so good in others. And yes some types can be very flammable which is why law enforcement won't taze someone who's been sprayed.

One would be in a world of hurt if they end up with eyes full of OC and suddenly they need to shoot someone they can't see. I'd be extremely reluctant to use it while carrying a firearm.

One thing to keep in mind with chemical sprays is that it often gets in both people's eyes. That can be a problem if things escalate to deadly force and now you're blind. Also, some people are completely impervious to pepper spray.

Thats why I'm just going with what all the witnesses and law enforcement went with for a decision. It's really all one can do without having the whole picture.

This is what I'm hung up on. Alot of discretion is used when it comes to women and self defense. I imagine that it was obvious to everyone that this was a gross overstep. Luckily no real harm was done so if it happened to me I'd be fine with not pressing charges, at least not felony.

The knockout game is a real thing but as Kleanbore stated it's not measurable because there is no classification for it in crime reporting.

An officer securing a firearm for a simple traffic stop is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. I get it if the stop develops into something more like field sobriety or a deeper investigation where occupants need to get out of the car, but absent that it's needless handling of a gun...

Speaking as someone who has been on both ends of the encounter.

Just speak plainly and clearly. People start sounding weird when they use rehearsed lines and many of us hate being called "officer" when we may be deputies, troopers, wardens etc. Don't need to address me like a member of the royal court. Just tell me what you need to politely and clearly.

There really isn't much one can do aside from having bodyguards to watch their back. The reality of life is that people are extremely easy to attack. No matter who you are if someone wants to do you harm they can find a way to do it. Being vigilant is always a good idea but when criminals are...

I agree. At the very least a few days of training provides a reality check of what does and doesn't work. Competency takes months to years, true proficiency takes years to decades.

Terrorists aren't going to try to take down an airplane with their empty hands. They'll find a way to bring weapons or they'll pick a softer target.

No problem. You need to wipe it down because it will get sooty from shooting but it's just fine. It's normal.

Highly unlikely that law enforcement would take action on that in my state. Actually producing a gun would change things but doubtful there would be charges based simply on telling someone to stay away and that she had a gun.

I don't leave them stashed. Too easy to find if someone breaks in while I'm gone.

The fact that video and witnesses also believed her actions to be excessive carry alot of weight with me. We live in a society that gives women alot more leeway (perception not legal) when it comes to protecting themselves so if the suspect was acting threatening I believe witnesses would have...

In the narrow confines of a plane aisle the fight is realistically going to go to the person who is bigger/heavier and stronger and acting with the most brutality. Skill is a factor but less so when there's no room to maneuver. The kinds of weapons I'd want in a fight like that wouldn't be...

Absolutely correct.

I'm kind of the opposite from most people. I'm not a fan of being approached by salespeople. I like to look around and if I need assistance I'll make it known.
