  1. Yep, I've had to use it twice.  My only piece of advice is to make sure the wind is not blowing in your direction.  The first time I was mugged, I sprayed it toward my attacker and the wind was blowing my way so it went into my face.  Not being able to see and in severe pain, I had to use the next available weapon I had which was a book bag heavily loaded with grad school books.  Thankfully, it did enough damage to stop the attack.  The second time was more successful, I got the attacker in the face, he instantly released his grip on me to put his hands to his face giving me valuable time to escape.  But,  now every time I find myself walking alone and get that intuitive feeling of not being safe, I check the wind while I get my finger on the trigger.
