When it's your time, it's your time, but if I can put the odds in my favor with regards to survival, I will do so. And where I ride I'm not so much concerned about two-legged threats, but four-legged ones. I've not been bitten yet but I came close once when a little nipper just got my heel. Had he been a bigger dog I'm sure he'd have taken a chunk out of my leg.

If the latter, no. The safety works well. If the former, no, I am responsible for my own safety. I feel completely safe against any dog with police grade sprays. The only thing I am conscious of is how the wind is blowing...

Self conscious? In what way? Do you mean did I feel nervous that it might go off? Or feel like I was over reacting?

If you put a couple dabs on your fingers, it's a good way to remind you not to touch your face.

that being said, I am far more concerned about being hit by a distracted driver than being attacked by a dog. Can't do much about the distracted driver.

Like I said, I am responsible for my own safety. The way I feel comfortable assuring my safety to the extent possible is by carrying spray.

Ah--you misunderstood the intent of the remark. Not meant in any way to be patronizing. My apologies to you. And just to complete the thought, I, too, have been the victim of serious person-to-person crime--actually, several.

That is not how I took it.

Neutral corners please. 
Later in the ride with the herd of pork, my friend had a coyote run along the side of the road before finally darting in front and crossing. He too packs, a Sig Sauer P238.
BTW, our ride is in an area where the STOP signs were just replaced due to holes.

That is part of the reason law enforcement training in many jurisdictions requires you to get sprayed with your own spray during pepper spray and lethal force training. That way one knows what happens if you discharge it into the wind or have it taken and used on you.

Given that I am always asked about having weapons, tobacco, alcohol, or pepper spray by Canada Border officials when i go on a fishing vacation, I suspect it is either not legal or strictly controlled in Canada at the national and/or provincial levels.

As a side note since this screen shot is from Amazon, if anyone has reservations about ordering under Amazon Prime, I did a free return yesterday at a UPS store and the money is already in my Bank Account. It took around three weeks to get my money from a return to Left Lane Sports. Love them or hate them, you can not touch this.

In the wind
When I camp in the mountain parks, I carry pepper spray, because grizzly bears.
If I was worried about coyotes, I'd have to carry it to walk the dog around the block.

It is because we don't feel any need to admit people into our country who carry weapons. I am sure that you are also asked if you are bringing firearms into Canada. Someone on a fishing trip has no need of them
