Anybody know of a good place to buy Fox Labs OC spray online? I could wait until Monday to call them, but it would be convenient to place an order now so I don't forget come the work-week.
I was on my bike just now and realized how much I hate riding unarmed, especially at night through some not wonderful areas. I go through them because they're better lit than the areas closer to my house. So I guess it's a trade off, I could ride through a nice area and risk getting hit by a car, or ride through a crappy area and risk getting negatively confronted by people who aren't my kind of folks.
Anyways, I don't feel comfortable riding with a firearm as I ride pretty rough and it would both be jabbing my side and I'd be nervous about it falling out of a holster. Rather than using a backpack though, I figure a decent option is to just carry OC spray.
I'm interested in getting the 3 ounce flip-top. 2 ounces would probably be enough, but for only .75" more of height (and a couple bucks) I can get 3 ounces. 4 ounces is too big though.
I'm not sure about the spray vs medium cone. Both look acceptable in distance, but I worry about down here in Florida with the winds - perhaps the cone/fog would blow back in my face (which would be unpleasant to say the least). Here's the difference in distance:
Stream:
Medium-Cone/Fog
The flip top I like as I had the same thing on my Mace Triple Action spray before I had to ditch it due to the plastic falling apart. It's pretty much the same design minus the finger grips which I don't care about, I'm more interested in the hotter formula:

Anyways, any help in a good place to buy the 3 ounce flip-top version online is appreciated. I don't like giving my credit card number to just any store, so I wanted to ask the THR braintrust for a reputable dealer.
