Learn the physical rules of spray dispersal, tho.cost you a can of product,but knowing how it works is worth the price. Spray cans can be carried in a drink holder on the handlebars.<br /><br />The actual armament is going to be for the dog owner, who is incensed that his penile-extension-dog is now non-aggressive and in considerable discomfort. <br /><br />Since many bikies are smitten with skin tight Lycra, that sorta precludes a lot of effective anti-personnel devices. I wear non-bikie stuff. Baggy shorts,loosed shirts, etc. <br /><br />I also have a variety of back or belt pacs that are very zip-accessible. You could carry a folded Kel-tec in the some of them. if you are a commuter, the assorted saddler/fender bags are easily used, as well.<br /><br />if you don't have to look like a Tour de tight-pants-France contestant, then there's lots of options to carry both four and two footed mammal repellant.I do think a cell phone with cops on speed dial is a good immediate post-dog/pre-owner precaution, too.<br /><br />if y';r going to be assaulted by an VIOLENT idiot, having it on a 911 tape doesn't hurt the the self-defense argument. That's just my NSHO.

What the Google has revealed is not too convincing, and $80 for a rig that may not work is too much of a risk.<br /><br />I am willing to trade down in firepower and concealment, just so I can comply with the first rule of gunfights.

Next morning he rode by the house reallll slowly with a shiny holemaker in each fist atop the handlebars.<br /><br />That was the last he heard peep-boo-shixx from that particular porch.
