Face shields cost only a few bucks. I don’t think this achieves anything.

Pepper spray, especially fog-applied, is going to get around that.

Could it get around safety goggles as well?

Like the kind you wear in a lab?
No, those are purpose-built to keep airborne contaminants out.
Replying to @HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world
Eh, sometimes, a lot of lab goggles are vented and only really designed to block liquid splashes

Yeah, fair enough. I just didn’t want to give them an “it depends” answer.
Replying to @HCSOThrowaway@lemmy.world
If they’re worn properly, sure.
There’s a reason firemen have mustaches.

they’ll just ban private ownership of gas masks, same as they did with body armor in nys.
