Pepper spray is a self-defense weapon that can temporarily incapacitate an attacker by causing irritation to the eyes, nose, and throat. It is typically dispensed from a small canister and can be effective at deterring or stopping an attack.
Pepper spray is legal to carry in most states, but there are some restrictions on its use. For example, it cannot be used against someone who is already incapacitated or who is not posing an immediate threat. It is also important to note that pepper spray can have serious side effects, including blindness, if it is not used properly.
