 A local cop reported in a story published in the Vancouver Province
 last week that he used his pepper spray (presumably of the no-nonsense
 professional variety) on an upset suspect with "no effect".
 
 I have no expertise or first-hand knowledge about this product.
 But if I were considering it I'd get some information from sources
 other than those with an interest in selling it to me.
