Keith, I learned about Presidio Gel from Joe Pucket’s training videos and we use it in our church security for the antidote availability. Any thoughts since you are recommending another brand? As a former officer, I have experienced the residual effects of CS and Pepper spray. Love your training info. We had an incident two weeks ago and used the outside surveillance to frighten the individual to leave our premises and the police followed up.

Our local police just posted a photo of "First Amendment auditors", saying they can legally photograph in public, even when masked to hide their own identity from other cameras.

My guess is most church safety teams would consider anyone so dressed to be a potential threat, but part of their goal is apparently to get their targets to do something for which the target can be sued.
