The big question is, is it OK to pepper spray bikes from Walmart?

YMMV
That Wally World Carbon X looks pretty awesome but realisticly, I don't think most people buying a bike from Wally will have the knowledge or tools to thoroughly re-work a Wally bike. I'm guessing parts alone were 1x-1.5x the cost of the Carbon X.

I want to get one now.

Yes, but I hear the gel works better.

Personally, I haven't found the need to carry either. I rarely encounter loose bikes from Walmart on my rides.
