But there's also the question of, in a situation where you're panicking, where will possible bullets that miss _go_? And are you confident enough in yourself that you can try to fire in time without delay and also be sure that you won't have bullets going... say, down a street. Or into a car. Into a house?

Pepper spray, at worse, someone is having an unpleasant day but will live. But avoiding things in the first place is safer still.

Damn right.

I had cause at one point in my professional career to do reconstruction of a scene where an off duty cop shot at someone in an alleyway. There were misses found as bullet holes in garage doors in the alley and in houses a hundred yards away.

No bystander was hurt but... this was someone who is theoretically trained, and would have legal protections if a bystander _was_ hit.

I'm paying for my own training and have no such protection.
