I have a Fox Five point Three 2oz pepper spray that was born on 02-21-12. Website says it's no good after 3 years. Since it's been almost 9, just go out and empty it an trash it?
It's never been used to this point. |

What I read is the spray itself doesn't weaken, but the canister propellant can/will weaken rendering it ineffective.
No real world experience though, hence the post. |

I had a can of expired Fox that I was going to let the wife use for practice.
Grabbed it one day to walk my dog. 3 neighbor dogs came running out in the street snarling and barking so I used the spray. I think it shot about 2 feet then died.  Only got a drop on one dog but when he stopped the others did too. So yes, expired means trash can. |

Have a couple beers with your buddies at the beach, stand in the shallow water, and bless each other with the hot sauce.
It's good training. It's enlightening. It makes entertaining videos. |
