How does Pepper Spray
work?
The active ingredient in pepper spray is oleoresin capsicum, commonly referred to as OC. OC is a natural, oily, resin-like substance derived from hot peppers, the same peppers used to "heat up" spicy
foods. Pepper spray induces an almost immediate burning sensation of the skin and a burning, tearing, and swelling of the eyes. If spray is inhaled, the respiratory tract becomes inflamed resulting in a swelling of the mucous membranes lining the breathing passages and temporarily restricting breathing to short, shallow breaths.
When should I use Pepper Spray?
You should use pepper sprays only in life threatening or dangerous situations. It is
not legal to use pepper spray to defend property. This does not mean that
you may not use pepper spray just because an attempt to take your property is a component of an assault on you. If you or another person faces threat of injury, you may defend against it. On the other hand, if only property is threatened, you may not legally use any weapon,
including pepper spray.
