Several years ago I watched a video series on Urban Survival. In the video the narrator mentioned that while carrying a firearm is certainly recommended, severe issues can come from brandishing a firearm – as well as using it. He suggested carrying a can of pepper spray.
There is no way to review every possible scenario. There’s no way of knowing when the next news event will cause crowds to rise up and cause chaoas. One I am concerned with due to the level of traveling I’ve done and some of the areas I travel through is getting surrounded in my vehicle. One example – Chicago. My companies corporate headquarters is in Chicago and my traveling there is just a matter of time.
Crowds. Dispersing a group of people so I can continue on my way is the goal. Yes – it’s easy to say, “JUST RUN ‘EM OVER!!!!” While that may be a viable option depending on the circumstances killing a few people and facing felony charges may not be the best way to go.
The video above shows a short clip of exactly what I’m talking about. A group begins to surround the truck and the passenger sticks a can of pepper spray out the window and blasts them. They move out of the way in short order.
I’ve previously ordered two cans of “bear spray” and have them in each vehicle at the ready.

There are cheaper versions available, however, this brand has great reviews and appears to be a high-quality item. For something this important, I didn’t want to skimp and go cheap.
Thoughts?
