Most of the time. Like to have options. The most common threat around here is four-legged (dogs), and while they most assuredly can hurt you, these are domestic animals and most of them don't really have that in mind. A snout full of pepper spray will likely dissuade them in either case.
Oddly enough, since I started carrying OC, I've not had need to use it, although several such occasions prompted the purchase in the first place. Go figure.
