@Flac. The "Bear Repellant" is far stronger than the pepper spray, or at least that's what the guy at Bass Pro told me. It's a much bigger can, and reaches about 20' to 25', that I can tell you for sure. If I had a daughter in college, or anywhere else for that matter, I would urge her to carry pepper spray as well. But, a gun? Probably not. If her school was that bad, she'd be going elsewhere.
@JonL. True dat. That's one thing I have considered about guns. What if a young woman, in a potential rape situation, should have the weapon taken from her by her assailant? With pepper spray, at least no one gets killed. Including the young woman and any innocent bystanders.
