Question 1

Why is it called bear spray?  I need a reliable pepper spray for humans.  I need human spray.

Accepted Answer

Bear spray differs in several ways:
1) Bear spray typically has four to six times the volume 
2) bear spray has five to ten times the concentration of irritant (although police pepper sprays can be higher than either)
3. Some  Legal issues are counterintuitive. As long as you don’t say you are carrying bear spray to protect against humans you can carry bear spray in more places. 
Also counterintuitively in states that control age for carrying self defense pepper spray,  age for legally carrying bear spray may have no lower limit.

Question 2

Why cannot I not get this shipped to Michigan?

Accepted Answer

Great question.  One would assume from the language that pops up on Amazon that it has to do with Michigan legal restrictions.  I'm guessing someone who does not understand legal language constructions could not properly interpret MI's law, as I will admit, it is poorly written.  However a close reading of the relevant Michigan code shows that this spray IS most likely legal.  MCL 750.224d says that only 1 of 3 criteria must be met to be a legal self defense spray.  The 2nd criteria is "A solution containing not more than 18% oleoresin capsicum."  This spray appears to be only 2% Capsaicin and related Capsaicinoids.  So unless there is some other ingredient that can be harmful to humans, its use should be fine on bears or other animals.  As it pertains to use on humans it would be a misdemeanor UNLESS it is used "in the protection of a person or property under circumstances that would justify the person's use of physical force."
