LOL you do not have to be certified to carry OC. I got certified since I am an instructor.

To give some background, I have something like 20/40,000,000,000 vision (well slightly better than that), but in any case I cannot function well without corrective lenses. If I got OC in my eyes with contacts, I imagine that would be bad. What other options are there?

I wear lenses too, and my vision is like yours. I am OC certified, meaning I have been sprayed. I was allowed to remove my lenses as they would be ruined by the OC.

In my car I carry an extra pair of lenses in the factory container, as well as glasses. If I get OC in my eyes, the lenses will have to come out, and hopefully I can access the car pretty easily.

I figure it is better than not having it and that causing a situation to deteriorate to a point where deadly force is my only option.

Civilian Tasers have a 15 foot range, and it is not so easy to deploy.

Stun Guns require contact as does hand-to-hand. I would rather use OC. ;)
