I've tested that spray outdoors and it does not function outdoors, any wind or breeze and it will be a big cloud that will likely come back in your face. It will make a dog more angry and won't slow a dog down even for a second.

Interesting.

When I was researching it, I read testimony from Police officers that it was very effective on people as well as animals. I also read reviews suggesting it worked well on dogs. I also watched videos of it in use and the dogs seemed to be having a terrible time.

Streams are better IF you can hit the person, but I agree, if there is a lot of wind coming back at you, it's not going to be great. If someone is panicking, their hit rate will be better with a cone/spray, even though it has other disadvantages.

I couldn't find a way to order police grade spray into Canada - do you know of anywhere? This stuff was dirt cheap, I'd be happy to try a different kind as well.

Nice haul! That reminds me I need to start keeping my eyes open for community garage sales now that the weather is nice.

+1

my problem is I never seem to have cash on me when I drive past one and thinking I should stop.

Picking this up tomorrow... from Grande Prairie

Some of you may know I was considering a German V8 for around $40k and also cross-shopping with a FX50. Instead, since the wife is pregnant, going with a more conservative option that cost me a lot less.

^^^Nice car man, I really like the 300Cs, but they are cursed for me.

I like the 300C on the highway, but I found visibility poor in the city. Not sure if it was just the way I had my seat adjusted or what. Definitely my favourite Chrysler product though.

Reserved online with Fido (so I could get the free wireless charger). I am # 167 in line across all of Canada, so I am expecting it fairly quickly. They had every color available for choice, but I am not sure what the wait times would be on other colors (if any). I have to wait a little bit regardless because they have to ship it to my choice of Fido store.

Yeah the Hemi is great on the hwy - great mileage too - I averaged 9.5 L / 100km the entire 700km trip while on cruise between 120 - 130kph.

The visibility is not the greatest - what I found weird was that the freakin rear-view mirror is kinda in the way too haha

Why not buy bear spray at MEC?

Because my GF does not want to run with a giant bear spray canister haha. The dog spray fits in her palm, and has a strap for running. Also, there are no bears where she runs - if she got stopped by a cop, there would be no reasonable explanation.

As far as I know you can't buy the stream-style police grade spray in Canada, so the "dog" spray was the next best thing.

I would be interested to know where to get a decent mase/pepper spray for the mrs as well. Something compact that she can take running and when she works late she can have on her for when creeps start creeping.. Honestly, its an actual issue I'm having.

If you find one, let me know, I want one for Baygirl as well.
