Maggie’s Does Bear Spray work on Pot Heads?

Holy shit that reminds of a funny story. Lets go back to around 1992.
Out in front of the service area at the dealership I worked for was a disabled bronco II. Was carbureted so had to be 1985-1986ish as by 1987 99% of Fords were fuel injected. 1988 460 was last to get EFI in USA. ( last carbureted FORD was 1989 Canada crown vic, ford was first to be 100% EFI world wide). As I checked the Bronco II out it backfired and caught the carb on fire. Beside me was an apprentice (so to speak, politics easier calling him that now). He says "should i get a fire extinguisher". I said "sure".
I had seen fire before, no sense to panick. I try and pat it out. No dice. I stand back, thinking this piece of shit ain't worth getting burned.
About that moment the apprentice comes running up. About 40 ft away he pulls the trigger, he runs through the resulting cloud and is covered head to toe in extinguisher dust, as he gets to the bumper the extinguisher was exhuasted.
He ate more than got to the B II.
Someone came behind him and put it out. Minimal damage to some vacuum lines.
Funny as hell.

Bear spray doesn't work very good on people. It's for bears, and you don't use it like pepper spray for defense of against people,
Bear spray is a fine mist because it's designed to take out a bear's nose. You make a wall of it between you and the attacking bear. More often than not if you take out a bear's sense of smell it will turn an attack. It actually blinds them more than if it gets in their eyes.

People on the other hand rely on their eyes, which is why people spray is best in a jet of foam you can direct right into their eyes so they swell shut.

Sooo, I recommend the foam for pot heads, and the mist for bears... Make sense?

And that reminded me of this oldie but goodie.
 
One that is following the law and is Federally Prohibited from owning a firearm as they are in the DRUG business.... Same reason why many have a 3rd party armed security team.....

He might want to have a sword then or decent baseball bat for next time.
I'd go with swords but to each his own.
a good short whip made out of chainsaw bands is pretty helpful also.
Have a crossbow under the counter for the other employee to handle.
