Q: How difficult to get law changed re. 2.5oz max for pepper spray?

But evidently not all of us:

Absolutely right!!!!! peddle to the metal. If you intend on doing me or my family serious harm you forfeit any obligation on my part to fight fair.

In any real fight the only thing that matters is winning.

A vehicle, even a small car, is a very effective weapon if you can use it as such. I would not hesitate to run someone over with my vehicle in a self defense situation.

ETA. Anybody know about the BSIS OC/Tear Gas permits? I got one when I did private security and was able to buy +2.5 oz pepper spray. Can people carry/use them even if they're not on duty or (like me) don't work in security anymore? There is no expiration date on the permit.

How about concealed fixed blades first?

Best to ck in with....

I know there's Knife Rights (http://kniferights.org/), but I don't know of pro-OC political orgs.

BSIS OC/Tear Gas permit allows the permitee to acquire/possess tear gas weapons that are greater than 2.5 oz for use while on duty.

Off-duty use is not legal.


Penal Code 22835
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person holding a license as a private investigator pursuant to Chapter 11.3 (commencing with Section 7512) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code, or as a private patrol operator pursuant to Chapter 11.5 (commencing with Section 7580) of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code, or a uniformed patrolperson employee of a private patrol operator, may purchase, possess, or transport any tear gas weapon, if it is used solely for defensive purposes in the course of the activity for which the license was issued and if the person has satisfactorily completed a course of instruction approved by the Department of Consumer Affairs in the use of tear gas.

Thanks. Good to know. I have a 4 oz can of pepper spray from when I was in security and have been thinking about keeping it in the door pocket in my car. Guess I can't do that...
