[QUOTE="WTF, post: 11691596, member: 29178"] I see and that makes sense - the legality of it will be assessed after-the-fact. But remember bear spray is legal in CA because it's not considered the same thing as a personal defense pepper spray (even though chemically it is the same). It's considered a "pesticide". It would be the equivalant of someone attacking your camp site and you grabbed the nearest bottle closest to you and spray him down. It could be wasp spray for all we know - how could that be "an issue" that it was used in a self-defense situation? So in this hypothetical situation, the authorities will question my reasoning for carrying bear spray and my answer will be this (and this is the truth, for better or for worse): "The intent is to NOT use it on a human but rather provide protection from mountain lions, bears and dogs if the situation were ever to occur. Bear spray has a much greater spray range and there's no fear of "running out" which volume is an issue when you have something spraying 30ft out of a 2oz bottle. However it was on-hand and in the heat of the moment it was used to defend myself." Do you think that's unreasonable? Definitely not playing the devil's advocate here - I genuinely want to know a LEO's point of view on this. [/QUOTE]
