I live in MD where CCW for guns is pretty much impossible for most people (unless you own a business which does a heavy cash business, then you may get a restricted CCW). I carry a knife and/or pepper spray most of the time (always, when legal, a knife, often pepper spray). The canisters I have now are about 2 years old so I should probably replace them soon (I don't want to carry around an old canister of pepper spray which has had its contents degrade- if you can only carry pepper spray as your distance weapon you want it to be as effective as possible). Anyway, I was wondering if anyone here have preferences for certain brands and models of pepper spray.
I really need two or three options. I like one that is a little bigger. Still fairly small, not the lysol sized cans, basically just small enough to consider putting in your pocket but really better suited to belt carry. I also need a smaller pocket safe option. A possible third option is one of the blends that are stabilized for extreme temperature conditions that are marketed for just keeping in your car. With the last, I've seen some that claim to be safe for long-term storage in your car with the extreme heat and cold that entails. Are they really safe for car heat and cold? Also, with exposure to heat and cold, even if stabilized so that it won't explode, will the contents degrade any faster than the "regular" options that you have to remove from your car when you leave?
