What you actually need is a walking stick like the traditional  Irish Shillelagh, far more useful made of heavy Blackthorn

I love the history! The native Americans  carried a coup stick, most had a big rock on them.  it was believed that touching a live opponent in battle was as great or greater feat than killing an opponent so they used the weapon to count coup . 

i misspoke a coup stick and a war club , the one  with a big big rock, are different, A war club could be used to count coup as well as a spear , bow, stick  or the hand. But the using only the coup stick in battle was the greatest deed.

There are tribes in Papua New Guinea who have given up killing each in raids for brides. The two tribes meet on a 'battle field' and one side 'attacks' first using bamboo sticks. The attacker has to tap the woman's defenders on the shoulder. If he wins he gets his bride. But the choice of bride has been arranged by the tribes' elders beforehand. Its all rather civilised. They call the bamboo stick a coupe stick as well.

I had a Co worker who did not bathe,  I sprayed him with Lysol every time he came within 5ft of me,   It took him 3 days to get the hint

My nostrils matter !!!!!!

Quite the opposite in N.I.     Mace and pepper spray are illegal but wasp spray is not. Two real cases, years apart; a woman was assaulted, she used a household cleaner spray on her attacker, she had it her shopping. She was commended for quick thinking. Another woman assaulted used pepper spray on her attacker. She was charged for having the pepper spray illegally. btw, in both cases the attacker was charged over the attack.

I think you might want to take another look at the federal laws.  I could be wrong. But using a pesticide  is a felony

AW SHAT,   you are not in the states. NEVER MIND

Well there you go then permanently blinding someone with oven cleaner or something of that sort would be the best deterrent I agree I wonder why we go with the temporary blindness stuff that has all that infrared tracking dye that don't wash off  and all that good stuff in it you can use it for an attacking dog's to. Are those attackers that were charged sent to a prison for the blind .  LOL
