I was at a local gun store yesterday just browsing around kind of looking for some type of subcompact .40. The owner has been in business for years. The staff is a friendly and knowledgeable bunch. The store was packed with customers.
There was an elderly lady asking about pepper spray. "Sure we carry pepper spray". "When i renewed my permit Officer Bob asked me if i carried pepper spray. He said in addition to a handgun, it would be a good idea to carry pepper spray". "Well, we have pepper spray but i just carry one of those little packets of pepper like you get at McDonalds. After i shoot him i just sprinkle pepper on him and when the cops get there i just say i peppered him but it didn't work so i shot him."
After the laughter died down (she was the only one that didn't get the joke) she bought her pepper spray and left.
