All great comments with many options. Thanks!
I'll swing the opposite direction. A Pepperblaster or a Taser; if legal. No hesitation to use it and less blowback afterwards.
Grew up in MD and know the politics.
Here is a pretty darn good little tutorial from Masaad Ayoub on the advantages (and a few limitations) op chemical incapacitants like pepper spray. One thing he mentions that I know to be true. Some people when you spray them will become even more dangerous if they can get to you. Bullets aren't magic and neither is this stuff. I had a partner when I was working up in New York City who is still one of my best friends. I worked a case with him that was not quite finished before I moved back to Texas. Well the time came for him to make the arrest and he took a lady FBI Agent with him. The "perp" was eating in a restaurant, my old partner who I'll call "Bob" walked up to him flipped out his badge and credentials and was promptly "Maced" by the bad guy. Well "Bob" couldn't see, and was in great pain but the bad guy wasn't in a spot he could move quickly so "Bob" charged the follow, grabbed him by the collar and belt and threw him through the plate glass window in front of the restaurant. He and the lady agent then handcuffed the "perp."

I think I have this you tube info correct but for some reason my 'puter doesn't want to show you tube on this site so let me know if it works. If it doesn't I'll try again or you can just look up Massad Ayoub and pepper spray on you tube.
