Re: dogs, bicycles, rabid skunks Halt spray

Here's any interesting note. Apparently in Canada it is illegal for non LEOs to have pepper spray, mace products to be used on humans. If it is labeled as a dog or bear spray, it is not a prohibited weapon and is controlled under the Pest Control Products Act. That may explain some things.

"In California, the container holding the defence spray must be less than 2.5 Oz."

Re: dogs, bicycles, rabid skunks Halt spray

Another thing to remember is that most of these products are labeled branded for a particular purpose but contain the same ingredients. If you want to find out search for the MSDS and read the active ingredients. Here is one for bear spray and the other dog spray.

Re: dogs, bicycles, rabid skunks Halt spray

I thought that there was a maximum size of spray before it became illegal, but I can't find it. Although that may be for another state and not Texas.

This is a link that I posted in the Coyote thread. It shows all of the documented cases of rabies in 2011. Skunks are, by far, the largest carriers.
