A box of shells is pretty cheap too.....already have them.

Yeah, I have plenty of those. Not enough, but plenty.

I know a shop-keeper who had an attemped robbery on his little shop. He spayed a can of Harmony hairspray in the bums face and lit it. The guy didn't hang around !

Wasp Spray vs. .45

I dont like those odds. Ill give up my wasp spray when the criminals give up theirs.

 

[bertenshaw]

Keep the 45 though. It's lovely calibre 8>)

 

[johncarbaugh]

Just spray them with carb cleaner. I have had that spray back just a little and it burns your skin and blinds you. If that doesn't stop them light it. Pistol would still be much easer and anything you spray could get you to.

 

[Ryno]

Wasn't that on an episode of McGyver?

 

[Bradsknives]

Just squeeze the trigger and be done with it!

I wonder how I can CC or OC a can of wasp spray?

 

[Hoosierbuck]

I would think brake cleaner would do better than wasp spray. I am still sticking with lead spray.

from the movie Avatar, the WASP revolver.

I keep a Mason jar full of nitric acid on my night stand. It's much safer than having a gun laying around, and if I have to use it against an attacker, I can make a nice xylophone out of the dudes rib cage.

I think a bullet between the eyes will blind a bg faster then wasp spray.

 

[Colonel D]

I think a bullet between the eyes will blind a bg faster then wasp spray.

I can go with that.

 

[Goodcat]

would be good to have beside the bed with little kids around. a spray of wasp stuff to the face is a lot less deadly than a bullet to the face.

Sounds like a good way to discipline the kids.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

I remember folks killing WASPs with a rolled up newspaper...

I'm assuming that a WASC is the former after conversion to Catholicism? nm

Oooooh, that would be me, then....

 

[Blackhawk2001]

I don't see why WASP spray or RAID wouldn't be at least somewhat effective. Bug killer is basically nerve gas for insects; I would guess it could have the same effect on humans, in large enough doses.

 

[IncendiaryGunner]

Some pepper sprays can be deployed from that distance anyway....

Pyrethrin is the main ingredient in most "wasp sprays".

Toxicity symptoms in humans include asthmatic breathing, sneezing, nasal stuffiness, headache, nausea, incoordination, tremors, convulsions, facial flushing and swelling, and burning and itching sensation

Even blinded people can pose a threat - I think I will be sticking with firearms for now.

 

[Specialized]

I believe I'll stick to my traditional lead spray, thanks.

I believe I'll stick to my traditional lead spray, thanks.

Specialized

yeah, but can you shoot lead 20-30 feet?

 

[Specialized]

yeah, but can you shoot lead 20-30 feet?

Yep! They're called "bullets".

 

[Disposable Heart]

Exotic methods, exotic results.

If my life is threatened, I will use standard means to remove the threat. Revance hit it on the head: The label is fairly clear, that could be used against you in court? The advice of using wasp or even pepper spray is similar to dum duming bullets, mercury rounds, spraying ether into a fuel injected car, salt filled shotgun shells, all practices in foolishness.

Go with what works. If you feel that your response is best addressed via non-lethal, jury rigged and exotic means in a lethal situation, write me in your will, I want your TV. Sort of goes along the lines of: Is your life worth the 40-500 for a decent gun or the under 20 bucks for a spray can? Gabe Suarez is not impressed...
