If I had thought about it I would have brought a gallon of milk to the class to pour over my face after the "experience" was over. I'm really hoping to never go through that crap again. I can see the value in it but I don't need to feel it again. My boss decided that at our agency we won't spray people before they can carry pepper spray. I had to be sprayed in order to be certified as the instructor but no one else got to share the lovely feeling (gyp). A few of them had been sprayed at prior agencies.
