At theBulldog Bar we receive e-mail questions all the time about the effectiveness of tear gas for self-defense during residential invasion circumstances.
The truth is... tear gas is very effective, but only in the hands of a trained person.
Tear gas is considered a non-lethal personal self-defense device, but it has also been known to cause accidental deaths under certain conditions.
Chemical sprays like tear gas come in three different categories:
1) CN or chloroacetophenone
This was used by the military and police departments in the 60s and 70s but is no longer widely used. This gas has a fairly slow reaction time (3 to up to 30 seconds) for those who are doused with it.
2) CS or orthochlorobenzalmalononitrite
This chemical is a micro-pulverized irritant that infiltrates the mucous membranes of the nose, throat, eyes and skin in high concentrations. CS may be considered better than CN because it's readily available to the public, and is effective against violent attackers and is toxic-- which can cause vomiting and choking.
3) OS or oleorosin capsicum
OS is a self-defense product which is extracted from chili peppers and is more commonly known by the name of "pepper spray." Pepper spray was made available in 1977, but ONLY for police & law enforcement officials to use. Now this product can be found in the hands of the general public worldwide. OS can be highly distressing for a "bad guy" to experience when sprinkled with it... mainly because it can induce excessive coughing, choking and nausea as well as dilation of the eye capillaries (or temporary blindness). Skin contact with this chemical can cause a burning sensation and can further be aggravated by rubbing the area. One small burst of this strong stuff can render an attacker disabled for up to 45 minutes without causing permanent damage.

Self-defense sprays like the three we just mentioned are so potent that they're illegal in some states of the U.S. Airport regulations don't even allow them to be carried onto airplanes. Additionally, a multitude of building security procedures strictly prohibit the possession of these kinds of chemicals on their premises.
In summary, tear gases are a reliable source for personal self-defense, but only to fight off an attacker. Chemical spray products, however, are NOT to be used offensively... like to protect your property or do harm to someone you merely dislike.
