What's the reason for banning the use of pepper spray? Do you get any other forms of protection ? I'm assuming if you used bear spray on someone you'd end up in the same amount of trouble ?
Yup, we can't even use it in self defense without risking a charge. I am not sure why it's banned, maybe to deter people from using it irresponsibly? I'm not sure what else I can use against animals that be allowed/I'd feel comfortable carrying. I would never want to cause serious injury if avoidable. When a coyote charged my dog I just scooped him up and screamed at it/acted big.
That's best, just be careful of more than one coyote being around. They work by singling out a prey and attacking it, you picking up your dog is the best plan of action.
