After I got mugged one time a carried some around with me at all times. Never had to use it. I just practiced spraying it into a field to get a feel for it.

No

Tonight I went on my own to jog a quick 5k ( and as precaution I make sure I have one). With so many tragedies on the news, I try to avoid certain situations . Fortunately, there were dogs (who did frighten me) but all they did was bark very closely and not dare bite me. (so I have yet to actually use this). Have you ever had any experience with pepper spray?

I was in a holding cell for a couple of hours that had it on the walls, wasn't fun to even be around.

Nah, I try to conduct my life in such a manner that it is never deployed upon me, unless it is in the form of the capsaicin in Cousin Leon's Inferno Wings

No but I saw a video of someone who allowed his friend to spray him in the face with bear spray. Long story short: he regretted it.

I own some, haven't needed to use it

In the UK, it's classed as an 'offensive weapon' and is illegal. Not for the police though. They need it to protect themselves from dangerous criminals, like somebody carrying a spork without a spork license. But to answer your question: no.
