Introduced by Rep. Dave Hildenbrand (R) on March 21, 2006, to allow police and licensed private investigators to use pepper spray with a 10 percent oleoresin capsicum concentration. Under current law private citizens can use 2 percent pepper spray in defense of their own property.
Referred to the House Judiciary Committee on March 21, 2006.
1) been there, done that... by crazycajun on August 12, 2006 being exposed to 10% pepper spray is not as bad as the world would lead you to believe.
it's not pleasant to be sure, but the effects are short lived, and no harm is done.
and it IS a better control than the 2% being used now.
new orleans police department uses 10% all year, especially during mardi gras, and would use stronger if it were readily available on the police market.
