What are you all doing to protect yourself from riot control agents and how are you incorporating them into your load out?

If you are civilian, stay at home or in the truck on the way to and from work.


If you are LE, you should have a discount on the Avon FM53.

Seems like that’s any gathering of 10+ more people as long as they aren’t BLM/Antifa

In for more info.

I'm interested in solutions to filter out crowd control agents, as well as separately being interested in filtration from pandemic type pathogens, as well as separately being interested in filtration of just bad particulate matter, the usual kind of shit that gets kicked up into the air during gun fights, riots, terror attacks, etc.

That may keep them breathing, but it won't stop CS from getting in their eyes.

I keep one of these P100 filters handy for riot agents and the like. They are lighter and inexpensive. The NBC filters stay sealed in their package. I'm using the M40 series of respirators.

Wasn't intended to be a snark comment. The best way to avoid getting gassed is to not put yourself in a situation to be gassed.

Attending a protest? Go for it. Exercise your rights. See people being violent (pushing, shoving, throwing things, etc)? Leave. See people destroying property? Leave. See people breaking any law trying to protest? Leave.

Please explain. CS/CN are indeed particulates.

P100 will stop most commonly used 'riot control' agents. Unless you live in some 3rd world chit hole that considers Sarin-gas or White-phosphorus to be 'riot control' agents...

I got a AVON C50 mask.  But a little pissy, because I ordered it through BOTACH and one of my filters is 3 years old, and they won't do anything about it.

What is a cheaper filter that I can use on the C50 mask for OC sprays and that? How much are those Scot filter and will it work for OC spray.  I don't plan on going to any riots, but you never know when they will be brought to you.

you can drop $600 on a gas mask and have a bitch of a time finding the right filters or you can spend about $100 on an industrial respirator and it will work just as well. Provided you have a good air/water tight seal on your eye pro.
