Pepper spray?

FOX 5.3

Most of the places that sell it will have holsters.

I bought the 4oz and use the holster than came with my TX125 flashlight.

Is there a police supply near you?

FOX 5.3

While I'm not gonna test it on myself to see if they're right, at 5.3MM shu the Fox product should be about the most effective stuff you can buy as a civilian in Texas. It comes in a variety of sizes and delivery mechanisms (stream, cone spray, etc.--get the stream; it's less likely to blow back on you). If you can't find it locally, a number of online sources carry it, including CheaperThanDirt.com in Ft. Worth. Just Google "fox pepper 5.3" and you should get a number of hits.

Hey Russell, I carry a keydefender. Very discrete and always with my keys.

Of course, I keep a big ole can of Fox in the car, since my keys are usually in the ignition when I am driving.

I carry Fox too. I havent tried it either but every story I have heard of it being used makes me believe that its among the best out there. I get it online for around 15-20 for a 2oz can and thats a perfect pocket size for me.

I carry the foam to reduce blowback and if I ever need it indoors it isnt going to make the whole place need to evacuate when Im done. =)

You will have your FoxLab quickly! Stuff is worth every cent. I have been a real believer in it over the last week in Vegas. I can't carry my gun here

Thank God we will be in Arizona sometime early tomorrow morning.

If your gun gets a little uncomfortable while your in the car. go ahead, remove it from the holster and set it on the dash... If only for a few minutes. Yeah I know you don't normally think much of open carry, but you gotta admit its kinda nice to be able to do that.

You bet!

As for the pepper spray issue...

I guess I'm not totally onboard with it...I have thought about it over the years, but its just something I'm not seeing a personal advantage for me to include into my repe...my repert...uhhh, all the crap I carry now...

But I am a flexible person when it comes to stuff anyway...

Is 2-4ozs. about the biggest we, as civilians can carry in Tejas? I remember seeing something about this in the code but I don't remember if it was specific re size.

(14) "Chemical dispensing device" means a device,
other than a small chemical dispenser sold commercially for
personal protection, that is designed, made, or adapted for the
purpose of dispensing a substance capable of causing an adverse
psychological or physiological effect on a human being.

No size limit there. I just wouldn't load a fire-truck up with it and dispense it with the hose.

EDIT: Did y'all know that "fire truck" with no space is not accepted by the forum software? It turns the whole word into an underline like this(this is fire truck with no space->): firetruck

Interesting that where the Aggies are, Sarge has two outlets.

Should point out that there is no clear limit. As "small" is undefined. TXI has previously stated that the DPD does not believe riot units are legal. The keychain units are clearly legal. 2oz or 4oz units should be fine.

I'm sure there could also be a debate in court if "pepper spray" is actually a chemical or not. CS and CN are clearly chemicals.
