Do I need to take >a new course, or is my certificate for tear gas adaquate for me to upgrade? Who knows what California is up to! Probably they want you to fill out a whole lot of new forms. Oregon is much more simple; you can get pepper spray at concentrations up to 10% at any pawnshop with no hassle. Far as I know, there are no restrictions at all. Wonderful stuff, and you can't kill with it! I wish all the gun nuts would voluntarily give up their firearms and rely instead on non-lethal forms of self-defense like this. No more unnecessary killings by misunderstanding! Andrew Ross When in doubt, think.
