I'm probably not the only phone guy who's shot a few Rottweilers in the face
with a can of this stuff to save my butt. It works much better than pepper
spray, and shoots further. The best is called "9MM" or 9 Millimeter. Don't
know where one could buy it, but it also knocks yellowjackets down in about
5 seconds. And there's no place to go when you are 20 feet up on a pole,
either. :-)
