When I received this I went out and bought a can of the stuff. I found there were a number of makes and not all of them worked on the same principal. I checked the directions to find one that would, indeed, shoot a stream a long distance (up to 25 meters). Now I can retire the baseball bat that my sons insisted I keep handy.

Protection for you and your home:
If you don't have a gun, here's a more humane way to wreck someone's evil plans for you.
Wasp And Hornet Spray
When asked by a concerned person about using pepper spray, the local police department recommended that she get a can of wasp spray instead.
The wasp spray, they told her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is more accurate, while with the pepper spray, you have to get too close and they could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker until they get to the hospital for an antidote.
A teacher in the art of self-defense has told his students for decades to keep a can of wasp and hornet spray near their door or bed. "This is better than anything I can teach them." It is inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, "spray the culprit in the eyes".
"That's going to give you a chance to call the police; maybe get out." Maybe even save your life.
Please share this with all the people in your life.

Mickey Thanks for the tip. I think the reason the PD recommended wasp and hornet spray is that pepper spray is a prohibited weapon under that law in Canada. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_spray#In_Canada . Ain't laws wonderful and sometimes silly too. Bob

Have you ever seen what hornet spray does to an insect? Pretty much shrivels 'em up. And the cans shoot a stream a long distance. You hit someone in the face with that stuff and I guarantee they won't be bothering anyone for a while.
