Is this “asian hate” shit even really a thing?
It is not where I am. I am pretty sure this is just another cooked up narrative by the MSM to stoke the flames.
I wish you and your wife the best.

I am 4’11. I was always small. I have had 2 occasions to use pepper spray. I bought Sabre brand. I tested it on myself. I will never buy Sabre. Similar with Winchester, or was it Remington?
I cannot remember the name of the product I had to use on people. It was awhile ago and I lost track of the nice gun man. Sad, because his product did what it needed to do at 10 to 15 feet and while I was down on the ground with an opportunity to thoroughly irrigate the nasal passages of the person I wound up entwined with. I was injured, but they were worse. Eye swelling lasted over a week for them. I believe the product was called Eliminator. I bought one for every woman and girl I knew at the time. The police loved that I had this.
My product now is UDAP. I carry the Jogger Fogger. I am older, heavier, with health problems, including arthritis of the hands.
This product has an elastic strap to go around the hand. My hands are small. I can give that strap a twist or two, to make it more secure. It is larger than the keychain kind. The history of the creation of this product goes back to a bear attack.
I have not had to use this.
If you get pepper spray for your love and it has a strap with a snap over the ‘trigger’, cut that crap off. It is in the way and wastes time. It is stupid. It makes accidental discharge more likely, so more care in handling is required. The Jogger Fogger is always on go.
I carried my other sprays on a keychain. I sunk my keys in my pocket and left my spray hanging. Seems no one is looking for it there, especially in black color, and I never had any problems going anywhere. Kind of hidden in plain sight. Going places where my purse would be scanned or looked through, I’d wear my spray right on in.
The area where I lived demanded that when I was walking my dog, or by myself, that I always had it in hand, with my thumb on the button. Easy peasy with the keychain size, and almost invisible that way.
The JF is larger and friendlier to the hand. It is little more obvious, but kind of looks like a small hand weight, if someone is looking. I love the feel and fit if this thing.
I expect blowback from the Jogger Fogger if I ever have to use it.
If the product is not legal in your area, please get her one that can go on a keychain, and do the front pants pocket thing. No one is really looking there. When some of the girls I worked with attended a concert, those wearing their spray this way got right on in. Those putting their keys in their purse got it confiscated.
I am so sorry to take up so much space. Over a period of about 18 months, even with cautiousness and pepper spray, I was attacked 3 times by people, and once by a Pit Bull. Some folks see a little woman and they just can’t help themselves. Now, with what’s happening to Asian folks, even the women and elderly, it’s just frightening. Please make sure she is always wearing shoes she can move and run in. My little spout if diarrhea is now over.

All things considered, forget about the permit, IMO, just go to the range until you’re both confident. 
If the consequences are her survival & some firearms charges, it’s a worthwhile risk.
Attorneys & community support will have your back.
When relocation is an option, that’s the best option, but for now just be safe. Forget politicians & their laws because they forget about us.
Remember that Fisherman’s Wharf scandal a few years ago? With the hardworking & univited southern peasant? 
F*ck that!

Yeah…if she ever needed to use the spray, leave the area immediately don’t wait for the cops. It’s not the right thing to stick around if they’re gonna hassle her over it. Don’t give anyone your name, any info, just leave. It’s San Francisco IDK if anyone’s gonna cry over a junkie who got maced for threatening women, and good luck putting detectives on the case to actually figure out whodunnit. I wonder how many stolen bikes get recovered LOL!
Wouldn’t want my wife walking around alone with all the crispy street critters in SF. Rather hire a lawyer than the alternative. An assault charge can be dealt with, civil suits can be dealt with.

I’ve done the same thing with my fiance. It is somehow a prohibited weopons charge for carrying though. Same charge for a pistol. Crazy. I still have her carry though because the positives out weigh the negatives. And what judge is really gonna give a girl charges for defending her self anyways.

Definitely not what it used to be in SF. Still a great city, but there’s problems there that are getting worse and seemingly being ignored by the ppl in power.

If you can afford SF Bay, you can afford anywhere in the entire USA.
Every state has an Austin, so to speak, SF Bay is just a unique situation.
Michigan has Ann Arbor, Arkansas has Fayetteville, North Carolina has Asheville, Oregon has Eugene, etc. Smaller liberal city with a lot of cool shit to do, just none of them are approaching 1/2 the cost of SF Bay.

…internet escapism had me looking at a lot of places & I quickly learned… 
…that I will never be able to afford… Cayman Islands 
Pakistan is affordable, but not very appealing; Mexico is closer & has beheadings, so why go the extra distance?
Side note: reminds me of all the fake/replica European “destinations” that China has cobbled & soldered together. Desperate-looking strategy to retain it’s tourists. Funnier still, IMO, is that Pyongyang N Korea is where older Chinese go to remember what home used to be like. 
They already miss poverty & austerity. Poor old Mao.
