We had a saying in my old neighborhood (Red Hook) - 

         "Better alive and in jail than dead in the gutter"

Then again, that applied to handguns, I wouldn't even THINK of spraying someone 
with pepper-spray, might just piss them off.

Now I live in Arizona where by State Constitution I'm entitled to possess and 
carry a handgun anywhere I wish (excluding bars and polling places), concealed 
or in the open - in the 13 years I've lived here I've not once witnessed or 
been a party to a violent crime, whereas in NYC it was all too common.

Wonderful city - only criminals are able to appropriately defend themselves and 
their property, is it any wonder I moved to "civilization"? About the only 
thing I miss is decent eats . . . . and Christmas on Fifth Avenue.
