subbisherri -> RE: tear gas session (2/7/2009 5:53:22 AM)

I have to do CS gas training at least once a year, can't emphasize enough what MsFlutter said: resist resist resist the temptation to rub the eyes. It dramatically worsens the effect. Being Canadian, tear or CS gas isn't something we can easily obtain, nor can one buy Mace. I know rules are really different south of 49, but I'm wondering if you're actually planning on using tear gas or some other riot control aerosol, or are you intending to use pepper spray instead? The latter is far less harmful, and if you use that then water CAN be used to flush the eyes and face, as well as any sensitive areas that might have a rash or abraded skin. I'm also curious about the mask you have, how old is the canister? If the caps have been popped, it does have a lifespan. If you have a new one, let it sit for at least 24 hours with the caps off or you're going to be breathing charcoal. At any rate, it sounds intriguing!
