Pepper Spray Legality in Kentucky, Indiana, and Illinois.

The author shares her personal experience of carrying pepper spray for self-defense, which ended up causing her harm. While pepper spray is legal in Kentucky and can be used for self-defense, there are restrictions in other states like Illinois where it can only be used in self-defense and not in a room with 20 or more people. The author now uses the "keys in-between fingers" method for protection but acknowledges that pepper spray can be a good option for those who feel unsafe.
