Area retailers said they can't keep up with the demand for pepper spray.
Local sporting good stores and gun shops have sold thousands of the aerosol spray canisters that can incapacitate an attacker by causing temporary blindness, difficulty breathing, a runny nose and coughing.
The killing of Brianna Denison by what police say is a serial rapist has many young women looking for any line of defense, retail clerks said.
"We probably sell 30 to 40 of them a day," said Robert Currier of the Scotland Yard Spy Shop on Virginia Street. "We have a list of 30 people who have already paid and are waiting for us to stock it again."
The REI store has been turning away customers looking for a spray used to fend off bear attacks as a method of defense.
"Bear spray is not for anyone looking for a product for personal safety," said James Hedges, a manager at REI.
Well, thank goodness!! Now, someone needs to go smack her!!!
Good grief! She needs to go home and lock the door!
I don't think pepper spray is all that much of a deterrent. The mace that police use would be better. I accidentally sprayed myself with pepper spray once and it didn't incapacitate me at all.
LOL Yes, that is what mine are doing also! Either they end up gone or they end up a few above the others where they don't belong. (Then again...it really makes it fun when I make remarks to people's posts who are after mine. HAHAHAHA!)
I think it's working ok now.
>no, something is still not right, lol
