I wonder what the expiration date is and how frequently does one get a defective one? Also, can this thing be left in the glove compartment of a vehicle even in a sub-freezing temperatures or over 120 degrees temperature? Just in case when you need to use it and you find out that it's not working. I hear bear spray is better as it shoots 30 feet in a wide spread range, but it's too big to carry.

...tear gas?
CS is "tear gas" which is an eye and mucus membrane irritant. The tear gas canisters thrown by the riot control are CS based, but it can also be sprayed.

OC is oleoresin capsicum which people call "pepper spray" and really burns when sprayed on almost any surfaces, but especially eyes, nose and mouth.

I've been exposed to both and they both suck. I can't say I've been sprayed with both simultaneously, which must be quite disabling.

The addition of UV dye is interesting. I guess they would glow like a zombie in UV Light.

Amazon won't deliver to Michigan. Must be a law in Michigan doesn't allow this type of pepper spray

Calling it triple action seems a little generous, it's just a spray with UV dye. Decent price for a good brand though. Sabre and Pom are good too.

Bear spray creates a cloud that deters bears because of their sensitive smell. This stuff is more concentrated and is designed to plaster someone's face to disable them, it's also a directed stream vs a cloud. I suppose if you have terrible accuracy the bear spray would be better. But there's also more of a likelihood of the cloud affecting you too if you're downwind of bear spray.

Not available in California. In California if someone attacks you you are legally responsible to be murdered without being offensive.

A few general rules of thumb with these types of products to help you make your decision:
- Most manufacturers recommend replacing pepper spray every 1-3 years for optimal effectiveness. The active ingredient, oleoresin capsicum, can degrade over time.
- Exposure to heat, cold, and moisture can accelerate the degradation process. Proper storage in a cool, dry place can help extend shelf life.
- The expiration date is usually printed on the canister. If the expiration date has passed, it's best to replace the pepper spray.
- As pepper spray ages, its potency and range decreases. Old pepper spray may not cause the desired effects or could be less effective at incapacitating an attacker.
- It's always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to personal safety products like pepper spray. Replace old or expired canisters to ensure maximum protection.
- Check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific expiration information and storage recommendations for your pepper spray product.
I'd encourage you to consult the product information or contact the manufacturer for authoritative guidance on the expiration and shelf life of their pepper spray products. Safety should be the top priority.
Hope this helps.

Really surprised to see tear gas in this, in what self defense situation would you use that without exposing yourself too?

If you're being attacked, then having both of you disabled might be better than neither.

Maybe test it every 6 months? Give it a quick press to test

Is there something better to use if I'm walking the neighborhood and there is a loose dog.
