I have a couple questions for those who feel they want or need pepper spray to defend against humans. Do you carry it at home too? If not why do you feel the need on tour? Are the areas you tour less safe than where you live?
The reason I ask is that my impression is that if you live in an urban or suburban area and tour in a rural one (as would be the most likely case), it would seem to me like you would need it more at home than on tour. I know that I can more easily imagine having a problem with an aggressive human near home than on tour.
Just curious...
