When I lived in Stevens Point I carried pepper spray with me almost all the time. I kept it in my pocket and would put my hand in my pocket and hold it in my hand. When I was especially nervous or it was late at night I would carry it outside of my pocket, hoping that if anyone looked at me close enough they would see it. It felt better to have it out and ready instead of in the bottom of my backpack or in my drawer at home. It also made me feel better to know that no one could really be permanently injured if I made a mistake and I feel like it made me more likely to defend myself.
