I wasn't talking about using to save my seat. I was talking about using it if they decided they had a problem with me.

But that brings up a point. If you were in this situation, and they were running off with your seat, would you pepper spray them, or would you only use it if it came to a physical altercation? Obviously I wouldn't stab someone just for a seat, because that could cause very serious injury or death. But pepper spray is less-than-lethal force.

What are the minimum circumstances you would actually spray someone (I'm not asking for legal or moral advice, I'm just curious what your own limits are)?
