The Story Behind The Pepper Spray
The Story Behind The Pepper*Spray
Today, the pepper spray is an*indispensable self-defense tool, especially to women. But women are not the only ones who use it. *In fact, it was approved for use by civilians after the FBI found it an effective tool to control unruly mobs without causing*irreparable damage. Have you ever wondered about whose idea it was to use pepper sprays as weapons. Heres the story The use of chemicals rather than violence, in self defense has a long and interesting history. *As far back as 428 BC, the Spartans used a combination of burnt wood and sulfur to produce toxic fumes that kept enemies at bay. The earliest known pepper spray was invented by the ancient Chinese. They flung wrapped, powdered chili pepper on their opponents faces. Sometime during the mid 19th century, the Japanese police of the Tukagawa Empire came up with an innovative box that could spray pepper into their opponents eyes. They dubbed it Mitsubishi. It is the Mitsubishi that has evolved into the modern day self defense spray. Oleoresin Capsaicin (OC) is the environment friendly ingredient used in this spray. Meant to be sprayed on the opponents eyes, it causes pain, tears and momentary blindness, effectively incapacitating the attacker be it human or animal. The modern day version was developed by Dr. Frank Hayes and Prof. James H. Jenkins in 1960. It was first used by the FBI as a non-violent way to control violent mobs. Research has shown that these sprays can been used to prevent animal attack.. The Postal Service of the US issues dog pepper sprays to its personnel delivering letters to protect themselves against dog attacks. They are used in Alaska to effectively stop bear attacks. |

Don't get caught with it crossing the border into Canada, or in your posession on the street. It is a "prohibited weapon" The Canadian Criminal Code has very specific mandates regarding self-defence. Under certain specific circumstances one is permitted to use lethal force, or various forms of non-lethal force. However, the specifics involved are related to whether or not the victim was prepared for an attack. Canadian law does not permit a Canadian citizen to be prepared for an attack in any form or fashion, other than perhaps self-defence training, like Karate, Judo, etc. You cannot carry a weapon, store a weapon, or otherwise prepare yourself for an attack with a weapon without being in violation of Canadian self-defence laws. If you have a baseball bat in your car, then youd better also have a baseball mitt and baseball, or youre going to have a difficult time convincing the officer that you have the bat in your car because youre coming back from the ball park. You could conceivably be charged with being in possession of a weapon for the purpose of committing an assault. Pepper spray is a tool used to prepare oneself in the event of an attack, and as such it violates the law. Nice, eh? There are, of course, options available for the legitimate use of pepper spray for preventing animal attacks, mostly for bears and other wild animals. Those cans of spray are very large, and the smaller cans are illegal. The legal sale of the large cans requires a photo ID, and the sale is recorded for future reference by law enforcement. Theyre not the kind of thing youre going to be able to conceal in your purse or pocket, and thats the whole idea behind making only the large cans legal. |

Interestingly when I was into cycling I first carried tear gas to keep away dogs chasing me. It would startle them but not stop them. I switched to pepper spray and it would stop them in their tracks. Funny it did not keep them from chasing me again. It did no harm to them. |

It is the Mitsubishi that has evolved into the modern day self defense spray. Oleoresin Capsaicin (OC) is the environment friendly ingredient used in this spray. Meant to be sprayed on the opponents eyes, it causes pain, tears and momentary blindness, effectively incapacitating the attacker be it human or animal. The modern day version was developed by Dr. Frank Hayes and Prof. James H. Jenkins in 1960. It was first used by the FBI as a non-violent way to control violent mobs. Research has shown that these sprays can been used to prevent animal attack. The Postal Service of the US issues dog pepper sprays to its personnel delivering letters to protect themselves against dog attacks. They are used in Alaska to effectively stop bear attacks. The part you left out is CN and CS (tear) gas were declared weapons of war so the cops switched to pepper spray, saying it was a natural substance, basically tobasco sauce in a spray can. The other thing is a determined criminal will keep on attacking after you spray them, particularly if they are also on drugs. All it really does is impair their vision so you have a better chance of hitting them with your baton. Don't bring pepper spray or a taser to a gun fight. In Florida you need a CCW to carry any chemical weapon that contains more than 2 oz of product. |

The Story Behind The Pepper Spray

Yet our crime numbers are significantly lower than in the USA where you can walk arounf carrying a "cannon" for self defense I know very little about Canada. How many very large cities are there ? Then how many Blacks and Mexicans are in the cities ? One of our large crime problems in the US is there are several different groups of people in the large cities that form gangs and are at each other all the time. Is there a major drug problem ? What kind of punishment is there for illegal drugs ? Several "large" cities - like Toronto (5.4 million), Montreal (3.5 million), Vancouver (2.3 million), Calgary (1.25 million), Edmonton (1 million+),Ottawa/ Guatineau (almost 1 million), Quebec City, Hamilton, etc. Toronto has over 1.25 million non-whites. Roughly 34% of Montreal is non-white. Brampton is quite extensively Punjabi 67% of vancouver is non-white - and over 76% od nearby Richmond, 63% of Burnaby, etc. On the whole Canada is MUCH more diverse than the USA. It is not out of the ordinary with the Covid situation to be lined up outside a store and to notice (out of interest) that ina line of 30 people I might be one of maybe 5? who are "white" - here in the Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge area (about 565000 population -) In Kitchener/waterloo about 20% are "visible minority" Within the university community, MUCH higher - with 3 universities. Yes, there are gang issues - with black on black and asian on asian crime being higher than the average. There have been too many gun related deaths and shootings, even in smaller cities like Kitchener and Waterloo. We used to have a pretty serious biker crime problem with the Henchmen and the Satan's Choice battling it out.(now the Hell's Angels and Stolen Souls and a few others manage to co-exist and keep a low profile - running the drug and stripper/prostitition rackets etc) There is a drug problem - Fentanyl has become a SERIOUS issue. Decriminalization of weed has been a bit controversial, and the punishment for simple posession is being reduced, while the punishment for distribution is being increased somewhat. |

That's a whole different kettle of fish. I worked with a Jamaican millwright who had a lot to say about African-Americans and none of it was good. The Asians, bikers, and Indians (abos) tend to be all about business and burning **** down is bad for business. It's interesting that you have fraternal organizations like the Manitoba Warriors. Around here the Indians tend to be end consumers and not organized enough to create a distribution network. They're screwed in this state and have trouble even keeping casinos afloat. Most of the gas stations have casinos attached so there's not a lot of motivation to drive to the rez. |

In Florida you need a CCW to carry any chemical weapon that contains more than 2 oz of product. I still say that the simple thing to do is pass a nation wide law that says that when a police officer says you are under arest and put your hands behind your back, if you do , he should not touch you except in the minimal ammout. Take away all the tasers and batons and just leave them guns. If you do not comply and put your hands behind your back, he just shoots you. There would be a lot more people killed... Anybody dumb or stoned enough to turn taking a nap at Wendy's into several felonies before getting their ass capped isn't going to comply. It would only speed up the process. |

I was cycling up a very steep hill and a dog came walking beside me and I thought nothing of it until he wrapped his teeth around my ankle. I blasted him and when he ran ahead to rub his face in the grass at the side of the road, I blasted the other end. I had a can of chemical tear gas and found that it did not effect dogs. I sprayed one and he just licked it like nothing happened. I was also with a friend once and sprayed a dog with tear gas. Startled the dog to stop him but also got a bit on my friend. We pulled over to a stream for him to wash his face. He did not like it but was glad I deterred the dog. Looking up tear gas chemistry I see this: "CS has less effect on animals due to under-developed tear-ducts and protection by fur." It is also more toxic than pepper spray. |

I don't wanna be the only one laughing, now! Okay. Yes I laughed pretty hard. Gee Wiz, folks are going to thing I am not "sensitive". When I was in hi skool, a dog would come out and try to bite my on my bicycle. I got pretty nasty. So one day I donned my hiking boots and when he came after me I did a karate side kick right across his mouth. No yelp or anything. I hit him extremely hard. My foot stung for a couple of hours. I was limping. I never heard or saw the dog again. I think I may have killed it. The owners probably think it got hit by a car. Ya, mess with the Toddmobile (the tire tracks look a lot like shoe prints though)! |

I imagine being overtaken by a walking dog puts a person toward one end of that fitness spectrum. It's not my intention to make fun of those people since they are exactly the ones that need to be out there getting some exercise. I applaud them. |
