I have a nephew who is a LEO in AK. He got bear sprayed in the face during a traffic stop and there was some concern that he was going to lose his vision. It all worked out for him. The perp was not treated kindly during the arrest however...
Not saying don't use it, just be aware that it is some potent stuff and the victim will need medical attention.
Like others, I favor a 12ga pump w/target loads and a M1911. A .22 mag revolver for the wife when I am away since she is comfortable with that gun but not so much with others. Dogs are great even if we don't have one.
Mostly I try to live where there are fewer problems. Not a choice available to all though.
