which pepper spray is right for me?

the news
and personal accounts of criminal
behavior,
have sent
me to the store to purchase
pepper spray.
so many to chose from though.
they come in
many styles and colors,
manly black, or the not so
manly mint,
pink for the girls, i suppose.
there is the gel type that
sprays twenty percent further
than the regular
brand.
some have a flashlight attached,
or a gps,
or a whistle of some sort
to alert whoever is still around
after you've been
accosted. some are
pocket sized,
or there's one to dangle 
on your key chain. 
police certified and guaranteed
to incapacitate
whomever you desire.
but i need a subject to test it on 
before i make
my purchase, i tell the clerk.
she, laughs and folds her arms
in front of her,
and says wait a little longer,
the looters come in
right after six.
we call it happy hour.
