Anyone aware of the legality of these?  I did a search on ATF's web site, and found mostly articles about when they used gas while doing entries.  I found only one mention saying that tear gas ammunition is not covered by the gun control act.  It doesn't say if it is covered by something else, however. It also definitley doesn't say it's legal.  Here is the link:(it is in section A4)  

http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm


I also find only reference to explosive, not CS gas or OC geneades in my sate code.
Thanks.

In many state they are perfectly legal, just like smoke

TAG-FOR-MORE.

I've seen these for sale before, but wouldn't buy them till I knew more. I know nothing about them.



What are the safest modles?
How much?
Where to buy?
Storage?
etc.

You can get gas grenades at many places.  Fox Labs OC grenades

To be clear, these are not the same ones that the l33t units use.

Check your state laws for tear gas.  Some states refer to pepper
spray as tear gas.   Tear gas grenades are legal to possess in
my state.

OC pepper spray is NOT the same thing as CS tear gas.

Check gun shows, you can usually find surplus smoke or CS grenades in the $50 range.

Yeah, that's why I said "gas" grenades, not CS.

Helps if you keep your eyes open.

There are group buys from time to time, and they can be found in the EE.

And yet, those aren't gas grenades either. They're cans of pepper spray that begin spraying IN YOUR HAND and continue to spray after you let them go. Not the same thing by any stretch of the imagination.

Still, OC spray grenades are better than nothing, I suppose.
