Top 10 Pepper Spray Facts:

1. Pepperspray is a natural, 100-percent organic food substance made of hot peppers and corn oil --- you can spray it on your chili. Some restaurants buy it to make hot chicken wings. Pepperfoam is the same substance with a foaming detergent added.
2. In 20 years of use by police and civilians there has never been a single substantiated case of lasting health damage caused by pepperspray or pepperfoam.
3. The pressure to spray is provided by an ozone-friendly propellant that is non-toxic, non-flammable, ozone-friendly and free of CFCs and HCFCs.
4. You are NOT permitted to take it on-board planes, neither on you nor in your carry-on luggage. It's OK to pack it in your checked baggage.
5. Like all aerosols, pepperspray works ONLY right side up --- don't hold the spray canister sideways or upside down when you fire.
6. You'll experience less hesitation firing pepperspray than firing a handgun - because you know you won't kill anyone. (We hasten to add that pepper spray does not REPLACE having a handgun where appropriate.)
7. Don't carry pepperspray as if it were some sort of good-luck charm. Test it so you know HOW it works and confirm THAT it works.
8. Pepperspray comes out as a liquid and stays liquid when it hits. Pepperfoam comes out also as a liquid but becomes foam when it hits. This lets you see where you hit in low light conditions. Pepperfoam is good for indoor use because it produces less fumes than pepperspray. On the other hand, because of the extra volume taken up by the foaming agent, Pepperfoam has fewer shots in the same-size can.
9. Don't trust your life to inexpensive off-brand sprays. All manufacturers start out with the same material --- hot peppers from the McCormick Spice Company. The difference comes afterwards: In a quality spray, more than half of the price you pay goes for processing, inspection, leakage testing and test firing, to make sure it is reliable. Off-brand sprays are cost less because they omit some or all of these steps.
10. Never carry a spray canister for more than a year. Like all aerosols, sprays may lose pressure with time. Get a new one annually and use the old spray for target practice (outdoors!).
