A sexy pair of sun glasses with hollowed out frames. The ends of both sides are attached to tubes which act much like a safety string. But doing much more than merely preventing the glasses from falling to the ground, these tubes are connected to a C02 canister, the likes of which are used in BB guns, which can be hidden by the back of the shirt and even attached to the pants if the slight weight is an annoyance.

On the sides of the frames are detachable canisters which are preloaded with pepper-spray pellets. The electronic firing mechanism is triggered when the nose pads are compressed by a clenching of the nose and eyebrows for four seconds. Ten pepper spray pellets are then fired from both sides of the glasses exploding on impact in a liquid/gas mixture on the attacker’s evil face, blinding him/her.

       Interesting. Fighting criminal activity with yet more criminal activity.

       BOO!

       Oops, changed it Po.

       Ian: I'm not sure if this would be illegal.

       //blinding him.$//   

       some sort of gender-bias at work?

       You want something that fires pepper spray pellets ... mounted next to your own eyes, nose and mouth??

BunsenHoneydew, Jan 14 2007
  

       I second that question. Have you ever had any exposure to this or like substances? You'll change your mind.   

       What was the initial category?

normzone, Jan 14 2007
  

       It was initially under (gun).   

       In pellet form I don't think that the user would be disturbed.

       Your faith in projectile technology does not tempt me to buy one. I've seen my share of malfunctions.   

       [IanTindale], in many states in the US civilians may possess and use for defense pepper spray, without a permit required.

       I don't keep up with what happens in foreign countries - there's so many of them.

       // a clenching of the nose and eyebrows for four seconds//

What? Like when you sneeze you mean?

       Be sure to take 'em off if you happen to find yourself constipated on the turlit; you might blow a hole in the tub...

       Is there a practical joke version filled with laughing gas? and a combat one filled with cheese?
