Bear Spray for self defense
There are people who carry bear spray for self-defense because it's stronger than regular pepper spray.
DO NOT DO THIS.
Bear spray is regulated by the EPA as a pesticide. I'm not joking.
Using it on a human is a violation of federal law.
In the wrong jurisdiction, the right prosecutor or DA will nail your ass to the wall for using it in self-defense.
Do not give the Progressive prosecutor who hates law abiding citizen and loves criminals a reason to make you the bad guy.
Look up you local laws on the strongest pepper spray for humans you can buy, and if there are any canister size limits, and obey the law.
Step one is defending yourself.
Step two is not going to prison.
