Bear Spray Disposal?

[RadDad]

For those of you who use bear spray, what do you do with expired canisters? I’ve heard the aerosol leaks over the years meaning the effective distance could be drastically reduced. To be on the safe side I bought a new spray and shelved the old one. It is still sitting in my garage so now I need to figure out what to do with it. Curious what you all do with yours.

I would go shoot it off in a safe place for practice.

Good advice since I’ve never discharged one.

watch the wind direction.

Test it. Expiration dates don’t really mean anything.

They sell inert practice cans but I’m to cheap for that. Once my can expires my wife is going to shoot it off for practice. Like stated above watch the wind or your in for a good one.

Never had the need to blast a bear, but have used pepper spray on a few two legged varmits nasty stuff.

Yes, watch the wind, But I will admit when I did it I kind of got close to the cloud a little just to see what it felt like. It's like eating hot peppers but not tasting them. At least it was for me. I'll stick to the peppers...

Spray it on your spaghetti to spice it up a little or the neighbors cat .

I have discharged it. Gives me some idea of what will happen if I were to need it

Keeps the neighbor's cat in it's own FN backyard.

Or Pop it with a pellet gun on a windy day.. Preferrable with the wind blowing the contents of the aerosol away from you

Last month in Poland a sports fan in a stadium was waving a flare which was not appreciated by security so they doused him in pepper spray. Who knew that shit was flammable?

Maybe carry a lighter with you so if the bear runs thru your spray you can use it as a flamethrower.

 

[Geewhiz]

Throw it in your neighbors trash compactor and run

 

[Dos Perros]

Put it way out there and choot it with your bang stick.

Yea, no worries, the point was "Pepper Flames" and I deflected. Sorry about that. It's getting tough to keep track of the stuff on the interwebs these days.

I'm all for the neighbors spraying my cat. Beats the yotes getting them. Cats keep the snakes away.
