My wife used to carry pepper spray when she was in a non-gun zone. This one was highly rated:

FIVE POINT THREE

All the units in the Five Point Three® line contain our famous 2% formula using 5.3 million Scoville Heat Units (SHU) OC pepper. This is one of the only true Police Strength pepper sprays on the market, and the original legacy formula that is carried by police, correctional officers and the...

I'm sure you've watched a good mix of pro & con videos of the Byrna devices? I'm assuming you are considering the handgun version. After seeing several videos I came away unimpressed w/it's ability to quickly neutralize a threat, but maybe just the deterrent effect of it looking like a gun to an aggressor would serve the purpose? Only you can decide that.

But when you see a guy hit twice in the chest & he says something to the effect of, "Is that it? Did the balls not break?" And then about 30 seconds later he starts to notice effects, it's just not inspiring. BUT...if a bad guy assumes its a real gun of some sort & breaks contact w/o it having to be fired, then it really was useful & effective, so maybe?

Intel is they lose them at Disneyland or any of those places that confiscate it going in, unless you plan on going through some extreme measures. Or best case it gets left in the car.
If you're going to carry a gun, just carry a gun imo. Get the full training and keep training.

The other intel is, it doesn't work for any real threat. It's only really useful if you have distance, and you can keep that distance in an attempt to not be pursued. Still requires some basic training and knowledge.

We'd fight (training) in the marine corps while sprayed with OC spray. I'll tell you right now, that hasn't and won't stop me or anyone I know…and that's not really something you want to hear.

Yes, I agree, but teen girls are not allowed to carry guns.

Depends. You can't be a teen to buy it, but some states allow 18 to carry. Colorado probably not.

Bad idea, if it looks like a gun will be treated the same. The old sayin never bring a knife to a gunfight. In this case, deploying any gun in a non deadly use of force encounter is reasonable for the bad guy to be in fear of their life justifying their escalation to lethal force to defend themselves. This is a distance weapon, what non deadly situation would it be legal to be deployed with distance involved?
Spend the money on some martial arts classes, they will probably enjoy that better than walking around strapped with a gun.

Definitely not a high school locker room. Or any other school.
