Hiker Safety

Does anyone carry some type of personal defense against ? Whatever, such as
bear spray/pepper spray? Anyone ever been waylaid (I'm not talkin' sex) on
the PCT? Other than falling deaths, have there ever been people killed by
animals or humans on the PCT? Just curious, someone mentioned hiking with
others for safety, and that got me wondering. I've never heard of any
serious troubles caused by anything other than weather or getting lost.
