I can tell you though that ABSOLUTELY nothing has changed on san mateo except for the R3egimental Aid station and the Regimental barracks, everything else is still the same. I was so excited when I got transferred to regiment, they had A/C and stoves in their barracks rooms (yes I did say ROOMS) No squad bays for them....

If one of your hands is incapacitated then having to rack the slide may not be the best way to carry. I believe that a CPL is the best way to deal with 'worst case' scenarios.
I agree.
Also you may be doing something with one hand that you can't not do even for a second, like me yesterday, operating my mobility scooter while a dog is chasing me.

I used to use leg holsters also in the navy, but I'd feel a little wierd wearing one, I am much more comfortable with a leather holster. I would have to agree with everyone CPL takes 20 minutes to get and depending where you go get it in the mail in 2 weeks. Also the first question is about resources. The pamphlets here on the site are great, but if you want to do your own reading go here http://www.leg.wa.gov/LawsAndAgencyRules/Pages/default.aspx

What RCW says that?

Pepper spray is preempted. There are no laws prohibiting the carry (open or concealed) of any type of defensive spray.

http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=9.91.160

RCW 9.91.160(1) It is unlawful for a person under eighteen years old, unless the person is at least fourteen years old and has the permission of a parent or guardian to do so, to purchase or possess a personal protection spray device. A violation of this subsection is a misdemeanor.

(2) No town, city, county, special purpose district, quasi-municipal corporation or other unit of government may prohibit a person eighteen years old or older, or a person fourteen years old or older who has the permission of a parent or guardian to do so, from purchasing or possessing a personal protection spray device or from using such a device in a manner consistent with the authorized use of force under RCW 9A.16.020. No town, city, county, special purpose district, quasi-municipal corporation, or other unit of government may prohibit a person eighteen years old or older from delivering a personal protection spray device to a person authorized to possess such a device.


(3) For purposes of this section:

(a) "Personal protection spray device" means a commercially available dispensing device designed and intended for use in self-defense and containing a nonlethal sternutator or lacrimator agent, including but not limited to:

(i) Tear gas, the active ingredient of which is either chloracetophenone (CN) or O-chlorobenzylidene malonotrile (CS); or

(ii) Other agent commonly known as mace, pepper mace, or pepper gas.

(b) "Delivering" means actual, constructive, or attempted transferring from one person to another.

(4) Nothing in this section authorizes the delivery, purchase, possession, or use of any device or chemical agent that is otherwise prohibited by state law.
