In California, the maximum amount of pepperball spray that can be legally carried in a container is 2.5 ounces. Pepperball spray may be used for your protection against human attackers, attacking dogs, bears, mountain lions and other wild animals. It is an effective way to protect yourself in a dangerous situation.

Anyone who uses pepperball spray in California should be aware that the product is only meant for self-defense. It should only be used in situations where you believe your life or safety is threatened. Failing to follow these guidelines could result in serious injury or even death.

Using pepper spray because you’re angry is against the law with penalties of fines and even prison time.
