The point about use by date is a good one. However I'm not sure at all that carrying pepper spray os worth it in the UK. It's a 'maybe' tool that is not hugely effective. There are much better options, beginning with choosing sensible places to go - as you correctly point out. Hi John,

In Poland it is legal but the product has about a two year life span. The pressure in the can slowly diminishes. It is best replaced at regular intervals. With regards to the legality of pepper in the UK, remember that if it saves your life or serious injury, any punishment is a trivial consideration. The best defence is avoidance. Don't go where the yobs and brain dead hang out, clubs and pubs for instance. Buy your own bottle and invite the right people to share it with you at home!

]]> Comment on Libertarianism Ill Defined by James http://www.safeism.com/blog/index.php/2010/02/libertarianism-ill-defined/comment-page-1/#comment-2596 James Tue, 16 Feb 2010 00:31:18 +0000 http://www.safeism.com/blog/?p=462#comment-2596 The problem, I think, is that PZ and his commenters far too easily slip into lazy arguments. They create a straw man and lampoon it. I've read a large number of fairly calm and sensible comments from people identifying themselves as libertarians, but he only highights the handful of extreme ones. It's a shame, but I suppose he is popular for his loon-baiting so only to be expected. The problem, I think, is that PZ and his commenters far too easily slip into lazy arguments.
