Generally, I am not a fan of pepper sprays and think they are useless (especially if you have a much better alternative.. a good 9mm. lols), but sometimes they do come in handy.. but never liked the idea of carrying a "spray bottle"

Recently came across this site: http://www.littleviper.com/ - A woman has invented a new design which I think is awesome (bracelet based pepper spray). Thinking of getting one for my wife (she has poor eyesight and hates carrying guns anyways).

(For those too lazy to visit the site, this is what it looks like:

The real reason I am posting here is, had a few questions
- can anyone tell me IF EXPORTING PEPPER SPRAYS is legal? (importing it into my country will depend on US export law regarding these)
- Does it come under the same category as firearms? (I contacted the site owner but she had no idea about export).
- Is this (this specific pepper spray) a good self defence item? (Especially for women. compared to maybe a taser?)
 
I cannot imagine that a woman would be able to get anywhere near the face of an assailant who grabs her from behind.

And WOW! THREE FEET of range. Why, that almost one whole meter.

I call it another solution in search of a problem.

Yep. It also strikes me that in any sort of tussle, one would be just as likely to spray oneself as to hit an attacker.

I also found it annoying that "problem" it seemed intended to solve was that women just naturally don't pay attention to their surroundings. I think there's a better solution to that one... :cool:

She's already near his face
It's just over her shoulder

I bet she can direct hair spray anywhere she wants

The same scenario applies for the "contact" pistol shots
 
I see little kids playing with Mamas bracelet just like they do the keychain ones . I like the big cans of Saber spray .

You'd need to contact the US Department of Commerce for an exact answer regarding export. The regulations on chemicals are tricky and may involve other organizations.

You'll also need to ensure it's legal in Pakistan. Not Karkhano legal, but really legal.

No. Firearms fall under the purview of the ATF. Chemical sprays are generally under the authority of the EPA.
