I conceal carry too, but I think pepper spray is more useful. There's a lot of gray area where someone could definitely be a threat but may or may not be a deadly threat in the eyes of the law or one's conscience.
Like would you rather maker sure an attacker is stabbing you or risk using unjustified deadly force, or would you rather just spray and GTFO?
If someone is following me I just tell them to stab me and get it over with already.
May I politely suggest a reputable brand of pepper spray like Sabre Red or POM, it works at a decent range, and is more reliably effective than tasers. Spray across the eyes then run away.
Yeah plus Tillamook is gummy garbage. Salt n' Straw is good but bougie. Ben and Jerry's is low-key great quality and they took a political stand against Israel, #1.
There's been a Gladio-style Strategy Of Tension inflicted domestically since at least the 60s.
Those sprays I recommended are quite strong streams, Sabre gel might work a bit better. You can shield your face while spraying or try to move laterally so you aren't directly downwind.
