this is why i always carry my bear mace in my driver door side holder. i
dont intend to use it but it makes me feel a whole lot better. you did the
right thing by just staying in your car. *guys* like that are usually
carrying some sort of *weapon* and have every intention to use it. bear
mace will take down a 600 pound bruin, i am sure it will put a hurtin on a
200 pound 20 something punk a** kid too! your lucky he didnt mess with your
van while you were in the movies. my $.02
