Pepper spray is not reliable enough for me to consider using it in defense of my own life or others'. It is not necessarily easy to deploy and use accurately, and there is absolutely no guarantee (not even, really, a reasonable assurance) that it will have the desired effect on your opponent. Frankly, I don't understand the notion of carrying a firearm AND pepper spray, unless I was in an area where I might run across unfriendly (but not terribly dangerous) wildlife.
