When dogs attack...less than lethal force used

Depends on your state, I think. If I recall correctly, some states require you to be trained to use the asp/baton. They can be very deadly weapons.
 
It's not

necessarily about being concealed. It also has to do with being able to "cause severe bodily injury or death." That is the qualification for it to be considered a 'deadly weapon.' This makes it illegal without proper licensing in many states.
 
I wasn't sure the legality of carrying one. I'll have to contact the VA State Police and see what they say.

I know you can carry any length knife in VA as long as your open carrying it. 4" and under can be concealed. So, I don't see why an ASP wouldn't be ok OC. A knife is a deadly weapon so an ASP should be no different. But, laws and common sense don't have anything in common sometimes.
 
I started carrying spray when a neighbor's dog attacked one of my dogs and bit a hole in her neck wide enough to slide a pencil into. The neighbor's dog is some sort of terrier that they used to let run around my apartment complex all the time. One day I was walking my dogs and the little bastard was running around loose and decided to stalk us. I let it get in close enough , then blasted it in the face with a stream of pepper spray. The dog stared at me and seemed to be contemplating the situation, then took of running around one of the buildings. A few seconds later it was running back past me at full speed with it's face buried in the grass, trying to rub the spray out it's eyes. I made my way back to my apartment with my dogs, but right before I got there the little bastard snuck up on me again and cut me off to my apartment door. At this point I noticed the dog's owner walking my way in the parking lot. I told her that her dog was right in front of me and that I had just maced it. Instead of coming to get her dog she just stood there in the parking lot having some sort of anxiety attack. In the meantime, her dog started sneaking in on me and I blasted it again with pepper spray. I guess it decided it had enough and ran to it's owner, who scopped it up and ran her face through it's mace soaked fur. Well, I got the hell inside because I figured things were really about to get bad once the owner's eyes started burning. In the end she complained to the landlord and the landlord told her to keep her dog on a leash.
 
Haha on the OP - BTW, water spreads the OC and makes it worse. Folks recommend washing the affected parts with milk or something that has oil to dissolve the OC away.
I've also found that OJ works. Probably the acid cuts the oily base of the hot ingredient.

I've experienced a similar situation with cutting up Habanero peppers. Standing over the sink pouring OJ on your nether regions is quite hysterical to the rest of the family.

Exact same thing happened to me in high school. Try to imagine explaining to your dad why you have your junk soaking in milk in his (large) coffee cup. :D
 
A buddy's encounter with peppers:

He and a couple of others were at work (BIG company) one weekend doing some end-of-month closeout computer stuff. He had brought in a variety of hot peppers to liven up some chili he planned on cooking in companybreak-room/kitchen. He chopped lots of peppers and added them to the chilli, then had to rush back to his desk to fix some kind of issue. After fixing the computer glitch he went straight to the kitchen to check the chilli and had to take a leak . . . Yep! he grabbed himself with hands recently coated in juice of various peppers.

The first thing he did was stick it in the sink to try and wash it off, which made the burning so much worse that he could not help crying and whimpering and moaning. So, certain that his manhood was about to turn into ash and fall off, he jump/hobbled/hopped with his pants around his ankles back into the kitchen and went to the fridge looking for some relief. The fridge was pretty much empty except for some co-worker's forgotton dannon yogurt.

He applied some and when it seemed to help, burried himself in that little cup of yogurt. It took a little while but as the pain subsided, he realized what he must look like standing there in front of the fridge crying and clutching a cup of dannon yogurt over his _______, so he hobble/hobbed just as fast as he could back into the bathroom.
 
I used to chop a lot of chillis when I cooked, we used rubber gloves. It didn't help the guy who was leaning up against his cutting board while he was working on a big pile of them. The juice slid down, and he screamed like a little girl while he ran to the bathroom.
