Laws on pepper spray

Oh I see. It's like racking the shotty, they'll just see it and run.

Don't be a condescending dick. I said( as you quoted condescenholio) it works very well, not 100%. But I have had crowds of 50+ people literally run as hard as they could AWAY from the sound of my voice when I pulled out the can and yelled "SPRAY!"

Moi? Condescending? And isn't dick a little redundant, yes?

Lol

Any who... yes OC sucks, but there are situations where bullet wounds have not stopped assailants. While I would agree for crowd control it's a good tool, I'm still not too convinced OC is effective enough for self defense in a life threatening situation. It is better than nothing.

OC is not for deadly force situations.

I dont see anyone arguing that it is. OC is sometimes better than using your hands, when the situation does not yet justify deadly force.

So very true. The threat of a face full of ouch works very well on anyone who has ever been sprayed with it. Frat boys on the other hand watch too many tough guy movies and think they will take a spray, lick their lips, and deliver a Steven Segal style ass kicking to the sprayer. Kind of funny when reality, so to speak, hits them in the face.

I'd pay good money to see that.

I guess I should have been specific. I was referring to situations such as this. Using OC in place of firearm.

Must be time to resurrect another old thread. Seriously, this thread seemed the most relevant to my question. I haven't been able to get my wife to carry the M&P Shield I got her so I was considering getting her a CS/OC spray. I found one made by Aerko called Freeze +P Pepper Spray in a 2 oz stream container. Although it says it is "pepper spray" it appears to be a combo of CS and OC. Is anyone familiar with this product? It is available on Amazon and has great reviews from those claiming to be knowledgeable. Also, are you aware of anything in the Texas laws that would be against this? Most of the products I see are "OC" only but this has "CS" as well. It seems to fit the description of a small commercially available spray but I'm wondering whether the "CS" has any bearing on its legality. TIA.[h=1][/h]

The tear gas (CS) component has no bearing on its legality.

Great, thanks.

I have a couple of oc/cs mixes, but honestly, I don't carry them. Once I started doing research into pepper spray, I found that CS fell out of favor for good reason. If you want to carry a mix, I'd humbly suggest Fox. Anyone that's been hit with it, avoids a repeat performance. Iirc, it's mixed with TCE ( a degreaser), and it's got a good bite. When I qualified with o.c., it was with Defense Technologies .4%, and while it was really hot on my skin (basically, it looked like I had a really bad sunburn), it didn't take too long to flush out of my eyes.

Of course, after I was almost decontaminated, the genius doing the certification pipes up and says "Get ready for the exam!".

Back in my day, you got sprayed and then took the written test.
