    This is what you want to carry in your truck. I guarantee you shoot someone in the face with Brakleen, they are not gonna be in much of a position to do anything. It sprays a hell of a long distance too.

    Get the chlorinated, original non-flammable formula. No hassle from the DOT or cops for carrying "degreaser". :biggrin_25523:

    I worked at a truck dealership, and the parts warehouse was at a 90 degree angle to the shop doors, so if a truck backed to the parts door it blocked at least 3 shop doors. I showed the driver that if he parked beside the building it would be quicker, to unload him as the forklift would not have to turn around to get back into the building. A couple of days later he did the same thing, I happened to be in the 4th bay, and backed out blocking him in, locked the truck and went for coffee. He got management and whined like a little #####, I informed him that I waited 20 minutes for him to move and would be moving in about 15 minutes if the truck started. Never had that problem again.

    I know for a fact that stuff won't work as good, if really at all, like mace would. I've gotten sprayed by accident before and it just pissed me off! Didn't obstruct my view like mace would.

    But that stuff will get you high as a kit!!!!!!

    There's a difference between getting an accidental squirt in the eye, and unloading a whole can of that #### in someone's face. You'd be lucky to be breathing by the time I got done with you. And extra lucky if I didn't kick the #### out of your liver while you're down.

    Someone makes me mad enough to spray that ####, they are gonna get a beating too.

    Here's the irony... I was getting blasted for talking about mace - mace doesnt kill people, its not designed to do anything but incapacitate and annoy the hell out of you. Brakleen... and I've used a LOT of it, is a poisonous chemical that can easily kill someone, and for sure would cause permanent damage to someone's eyes and respiratory system.

    I think the trucker story side of this is getting out of hand. Heck, why don't we just pour gas on them and set them on fire, right? Not as bad as mace??

    Frikkin ridiculous idea.... toxic chemicals.

    Well, here's the deal... I'm not going to spray someone who's being a jack***. If they are going to get sprayed, it's likely someone that I'd put a bullet in, given a choice. Too much hassle to carry a gun because I visit the ports on a regular basis.

    So, do I care if it's toxic chemicals? #### no. If there ever comes a time where I have to use it, they will #### well deserve it.

    The point is you were suggesting it is ok to mace someone who is merely being a nusance... that's assault. You should know the difference between that and defending yourself against an attack.

    The problem is that you'd likely be in worse trouble than if you used mace, bear spray, a club, etc - you'd be better off with a gun, actually, from a legal perspective.
