Default 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.

The effect of pepper spray is only temporary, the violent criminal will commit another violent crime in a few days.* The problem still exists.

OTOH, a properly placed bullet or two will stop the violent crime and prevent recidivism.* The violent criminal will not commit another violent crime.

Do we really want a bunch of violent criminals terrorizing the streets?

Tear gas and pepper spray are two completely different chemicals.

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.

otoh, the local police used up two cans on a ****ed off pit bull that
was mauling his owner. Then the shot the dog. Personally, I think they
had the wrong animal. The owner was known to wind the dog up because he
didn't think it was aggressive enough.

Do you really want violent criminals walking around with pepper spray
disabling you so they can rob you?? Use of pepper spray in comission
of a crime has the same penalty us using a knife or gun.

Mentioned as a bicyclist I used it on dogs and it stopped them in their

sprayed him and he stopped and started rubbing his face in the grass
with his back to me. So, I sprayed him in the ass. He did not know

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

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.

Also very effective for removing Jehovah Witlesses from your front door.


After two weeks of silence and/or denials, the US Secret Service today
acknowledged that they indeed used tear gas (pepper balls) to clear the
park so that Trump could get a photo op at the church.

This administration hasn't figured out that information eventually comes
out.

Tear gas and pepper spray are two completely different chemicals.


Not to people who are on the receiving end, and not to the CDC. And now,
apparently not to the Secret Service. Strictly speaking, you're right, but
when you're in the midst of the cloud, it doesn't matter.

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.

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.


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.

In article ,
says...
It's nice that you level the playing field for criminals.
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.

otoh, the local police used up two cans on a ****ed off pit bull that
was mauling his owner. Then the shot the dog. Personally, I think they
had the wrong animal. The owner was known to wind the dog up because
he didn't think it was aggressive enough.
Dog lives matter!

Mentioned as a bicyclist I used it on dogs and it stopped them in their
tracks.* A neighbors dog that always bugged me came after me and I
sprayed him and he stopped and started rubbing his face in the grass
with his back to me.* So, I sprayed him in the ass.* He did not know
whether to go **** or go blind


ROFLOL! Ok .. THAT's just funny!

It really happened and believe it or not the dog's name was, Joke.

Quiet in the house but a PITA outside. I threw a shovel at it when it
came up barking at me right in front of the neighbor. Actually very
nice neighbors.

Got run over by a UPS truck.

Yeah but most of your blacks are Caribbean. 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.

I actually did it to a second dog. 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.

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)!

Technically, is it still considered cycling when you're being overtaken by
a walking dog?

I guess I have to allow for the fact that, within the greater cycling
public, there's a whole range of fitness levels. 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.
