You don't see it and many cops don't recommend it because convicts administer the pepper to themselves. They subject themselves to this crap and build up a resistance so when you shoot them its no more harmful or hurtful than vinegar. I know, I have a cousin who is a habitual felon.

As for my first post and the questions thereof... Its too late for Europe and Europeans to own weapons. Like I said they went down that path already and gave it up, not just physically but mentally as well. Europeans by and large I have talked with at length are resigned to letting "the government handle it" in many many aspects of their lives, protection included. There is a vast cultural rift between the US and Europe.
