Thanks everyone for the replies! I like both the Kimber and Benchmade pen items.

One note on 30.06 postings and my company's garage - while the legality of leaving the gun in the car is debateable, my company's stipulation that I follow all company rules or risk dismissal is not - I won't be trying to win the battle only to lose the war by risking unemployment (as well as risking immediate and painful death when Mrs. Llanite finds out...)

The funny thing is that I travel many places where the company is happy to pay for people with fully automatic weapons to escort me, but doesn't trust me to be responsible for myself - oh well...

at least you're safe from vampires. Stray cats, on the other hand.....

My office and its private parking garage are 30.06 posted and in downtown Houston. In all other respects it's a great company and I'm not inclined to change jobs right now. I do get out on the surface streets for lunch, partner visits, and trips to service companies and Houston's downtown is OK, but not great.

Question: what self-defense sprays do people have experience with and would recommend?

I have a knife that I've always carried, but I would like to supplement that with something that has more stand-off capabilities :)
