I see pepper-spray/tear gas available in various stores, but they're always the size of about two C batteries on top of each other. Is it possible to buy a reall small canister of this stuff so that one could easily fit it on their keychain without it sticking out so much?

Find out where the local cops buy their boots, Sam Brown's and other gear. They will have it. Or, about any pawn shop or surplus dealer will have them. I pick them up at a little gun show down this way when I am in need.

You need to practice with them just like any other weapon. The user should know first hand the range, pattern, etc. My wife is damn good with a can of pepper spray. Almost as accurate as she is with a .223

I wonder what the dimensions are on that one...? I see a lot of key chain ones locally but they're all fairly large...

Nice pic, 911paramedic :D

3.5" x 1.5" x 1". Like the others said, it's kind of small. I just grabbed it off Google for an example.

Sporting good stores (chicks, big 5) and Fry's carry keychain size ones. They're about as big as half a highlighter.

I'd suggest buying two, one to try out so that you get a feel for how it sprays and stuff. :D Stuff costs about as much as a happy meal anyways.
