Best pepper spray option

[TheBookGuy]

Would the Fox Labs spray work for camping in bear country? Or should I get a bear specific brand?

SMGRUSTY, I was refering to this statement:

There is no study that says Fox is more effective. In fact, quite the contrary.

leadcounsel, if you read that again you will see that smgrusty is not saying Fox is ineffective. He is saying it is not more effective [than certain others]. He presented data that showed that other brands have up to twice the capsaicin content of Fox, http://www.cqbsupply.com/images_new/hhpage4.pdf.

Get a can of bear spray hat should do it. Seen a guy sprayed with it he couldn see for four hours but then they could and probably will sue you.

How aggressive were they? Did you actually spray them?

incident #1
just getting out of my car to gas up, perp that looks homeless approachs and starts to wipe down my windows.... I said no windows today. he continues and does it..then demands $2. I give a verbal command for him to step away from my vehicle, he advances torwards me and I put my hand out signaling stop.. 5-8 ft. steps closer and i administer a 3 second burst directly to him. damn that guy screams and walks around then gets on the ground screaming on his knees! Do not try to get back up or you will be sprayed again.

incident #2
gas station filling up my car, homeless or agressive panhandler approachs me and asks for money. I order him to step away from me and he gets verbally agressive with physical gestures to advance. I draw and spray... goes down like a mike tyson and hoyfield double take down *ding ding*

Fox makes some good stuff! Much less problem-o with the fox oc than a knife or firearm draw on the guy. No physical contact except for the spray..... very effective at street thugs, homeless or mentally ill.

I've used CQB before, they have the scientific data but Fox gets the same if not better result proven. Fox is better than cqb, vexor and whatever else has been around making the police or public safety feel special because they sold/marketed only to police or public safety.

I've been exposed to at least four different types of pepper spray at various times, and I can say, without reservation, that Fox 5.3 was by far the worst ("best" for the person doing the spraying) of the lot. Nothing put me out of action quicker and kept me out of action longer than Fox Labs. It is truly evil stuff.
