Thanks G for the reply. From what I read in Code, 50cc is size restriction which is about enough to wet my little pinkie. I have seen those little pittle key chain jobs and they do not impress me. You better aim right the first time or else. My neighbor is an investigator for the County prosecutor's office and I am going to ask him what his opinion and/or experience has been with citizen use of larger sprays. Just seems (which, of course means nothing legally) that if you are in need of self defense and a firearm is justified, than the spray from a can of bear spray should easily pass a test of legality.
PS: Take a look at 9/11 issue PostandCourier pet section article-love of my daughter's life is pictured with my letter. I'm sure you will appreciate the dog.
