I carry OC spray, though not as religiously as a blade (or firearm for that matter) … There’s a lot of discussion on other forums about the fact that it’s not effective on \”everyone\” but I believe it will give you an advantage by buying a few seconds (minimally) to start kickin’ a$$, turnin’ tail or accessing a higher level weapon.

ETA – I also own a kuboton … Don’t have that with me as often as I should. Nice little option. 😈
