I carry a handgun and assisted opening 3-inch knife every day, because this is Texas. I've yet to convince my wife to get a CHL, but she does carry a Kimber pepper spray gadget ... I can see the value of spray as opposed to a gun; as one poster said, you can reverse the results of the spray ... but there are so many cases where a gun is really the only solution, unless you're willing to let the BG close to within a few feet ... for me, a handgun is really the only solution when I'm out and about; I hope I never have to use it ...
