Defense Sprays
Pepper spray gets best marks on safety; you can completely disable an opponent without causing permanent harm. In fact, pepper spray's effectiveness and safety have made it a choice for law enforcement officers as well as civilians to save lives: sometimes you don't need to shoot someone with a bullet in order to make him stop! Instead, you can blast the meanest guy with extract from cayenne pepper and make him cry like a little kid.
Pepper sprays have been found more effective than mace (not the same as MACE brand pepper spray), which doesn't always stop attackers high on drugs or alcohol. Because mace is a sort of tear gas, people on drugs may not feel it: pepper spray is an extreme irritant that no one can resist, so it's also preferred by law enforcement officers worldwide. Human attackers aren't the only ones to encounter pepper spray. Hikers use pepper spray on bears who won't take "no" for an answer, and delivery people often carry it to deter aggressive dogs.
