What do you think - CA-legal or no?

[Quiet]

The 2 oz model would be CA legal as long as it has the mandated warning label attached to it. [PC 22810(e)]

The 4 oz model would not be CA legal, due to it being more than the maxium legal amount of 2.5 oz.


Penal Code 17240
(a) As used in this part, "tear gas" applies to and includes any liquid, gaseous or solid substance intended to produce temporary physical discomfort or permanent injury through being vaporized or otherwise dispersed in the air.

Penal Code 22810

the valve on that can is identical to a bug bomb.

Interesting product.

The description says it is a pepper spray that is designed to be thrown. The nozzle locks open and the container will rotate 360 degrees (on a hard surface) to spray an entire area.

So does it start right after you push it ?

It probably does- these things were made for riot police- who would have gas masks on at the time of deployment.

They are NOT made for home defense or malninja-ry.

Not such a good idea, unless you like getting peper sprayed yourself...
That stuff in an enclosed area really SUCKS!

[Flopper]

I'll order a couple and post results.

[Agent Orange]

Starts as soon as you push the button just like a bug bomb does. Those things have been around forever. I have two that are at least 20 years old.

[misterjake]

Geez.

Just throw the grenade into a room...


Then shoot it!

Was that so hard?
