Hi Kenzie -- I carry the pepper spray on a long, easily broken string around 
my neck (just when I ride or run alone in remote areas).  If it got hung up 
on anything the string would easily break, but it is right there if I need 
it.  There is a safety tab on the spray so that it has to be released in 
order to be in "spray" mode. It sprays a very strong stream for about 20 
feet.  I haven't done any target practice (not a bad idea though), but I did 
make sure I knew which way to point the thing before I started carrying it 
(wouldn't THAT be a disaster?).  I'm with you though, I hate that we even 
have to think about this kind of stuff.  But, we do  :(
