Granted this is nothing more than someone calling Tom Gresham's Gun Talk radio show, but it sounds legitimate.

Call starts at 26:10

I once heard of a fellow who OC'd with his child during the spring last year in MI. The story sounded legit, but his OC'd gun supposedly prompted a confrontation with a man with a rifle.

Fortunate for him a sheriff deputy interrupted the would be attacker.

LOL...

I'm hoping more details on the MI issue will be coming soon...

I do have a friend that I explicitly trust that had an issue with some neighborhood hoodlums.  His OC changed their immediate behavior, but once again, I wasn't there.

My personal experiences with OC (or CC), nothing has happened.  No blading at Meijers, no arrests, my level of excitement has been one thank you at HD, and that idiot gun range telling me to cover my firearm.
