------== Pepper Spray, CS Gas ==
I do not agree with ''pepper spray''. If you spray it in the closed car, it will affect you too. I think it just make things worse. [[User:Mirto|Mirto]]
:I was told about pepper foam by a driver once as an counter-argument for my defense for not having pepperspray. The foam would have the advantage not to be so volatile in a closed environment such as a car, but I have no experience in the matter. He recommended using >10,000 BTU foam.
:Good to know: Using pepperspray (or foam) as a defense against humans is illegal in many countries (in the UK even simple posession is not legal, apparently). For this reason, defensive gases used are usually CS Spray, a tear gas that can sadly not be used in a foam form.

::CS can also come as a gel or foam, which would be safer to use inside of a car. --[[User:Kb|Kb]] 14:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
