out in the country, you can't depend on cops showing up in time to do anything useful, so I have a Baby Eagle in .40 S&W...

and also a Beretta Storm 'hunting rifle' in the same .40 S&W

Since I'm only 5'3" I can control the .40 S&W calibre a lot better than a .45 ! Kudos to you Jessica, because I have fired a friend's Ruger Super Redhawk in .45 Colt, and I had all I could do to avoid being sat straight on my ass by the recoil !

Thanks Mel, it took a long time to get as comfortable w/my .45 as I am now. I've been going to the range w/my Uncle since I was 16. Of course, it was not legal to be shooting a .45 at the range when your 16 (oops :O ). You can shoot, but there are limited choices of firearms you can legally handle at a range range at that age. I'm only 5'3/5'4 as well. My first time taking a shot w/that thing I WAS on my ass. LoL

worse some pepper spray canisters slowly leak the propellants. Especially if left some where hot like the interior of a car. It may not have the pressure to spray at all when you need it.

Don't buy your pepper spray at convenience store or flea markets. Somewhere in your town is a shop that caters to cops, it might be a gun store and might not. Buy the same stuff your local cops carry, since you can be reasonably assured it has been tested.
