→Problems: "armed" is a very relative term in this case
*Surprisingly, many pepper sprays actually are harmful to one's ongoing health, as well.<ref>http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/about-pepper-spray</ref>

Also, there are philosophical problems with the use of pepper spray. The greatest is probably that a society armed with nothing but pepper spray will cause crime to become something less dangerous. Attacking an armed citizen will result in some severe pain for a couple hours, but little more as long as they are able to escape after being sprayed. Pepper spray is a weak deterrent in general as opposed to [[firearms]] and other ranged, potentially deadly weapons
