Pepper spray is not very effective. It will not incapacitate anyone. It will usually just serve to piss them off. Be careful thinking that it will drive someone away or prevent an attack.
And yes I know first hand the effects of pepper spray through military training.

Pepper spray is probably less effective on trained military personnel than on the general public. In any event, I'm not worried about pi$$ing the guy off. He's already pi$$ed off and he's got a baseball bat.
Leave the area? What do you think I'm trying to do? You think I'm going to stand there until he stops choking? The idea of pepper spray is to buy me enough time to get inside the car, lock the doors, maybe drive off, call the police, etc. It's also where the Sig .45 is. If he starts bashing car windows or doors, I believe a jury would find that under those circumstances, I had a reasonable fear of death or grave bodily harm and that shooting the SOB was a justifiable act of self-defense.
