I'd recommend against it though: My sister did carry pepper spray for a while, until she got old enough to legally carry a proper weapon. Always replaced the cans when the "use-before" date was up. The last can, I tried to use for discouraging rats from getting into our parent's house's walls. That can, which was about a year away from the best-before date at the time, barely had 30cm or jet instead of the 3-5m it advertised. From other people, I've heard similar things. Simply put, the cans lose pressure when they get hot (from excess pressure overcoming the seal) or cold (from the seal shrinking, and no longer staying tight). In practice, that means that carrying them /out/ makes them useless quickly.
If you're limited to irritants for whatever reason, get pyrotechnical irritants. Piexon Guardian Angel, JPX Jet Protector, or irritant "blanks" for whatever gun you can carry. My goto is a 9mm RK revolver, for example (with a knife, cause I'm not retarded... The pepper is only for wild animals).
>I'm scared I'll get ambushedNo weapon will protect you from an ambush, unless you're a. willing to kill everybody who approaches you and b. are only in areas with no cover a sniper could hide behind.
But let's face it, chances are that no one will "ambush and murder" you. Even if someone wants to attack you, they'll most likely be after money or sex, meaning they'll come close and try to force you into obeying without killing you (right away, at least). At that point, a knife is most effective, a gun is a close second, and pepperspray is far off, near the end of the list.
