Homemade pepperspay?

I remember reading a guide somewhere saying you could concentrate pepper oil up to like 8mil scoville and make homemade pepper spray out of it, but I am unable to find it again, anyone have any experience doign this?
 
Sounds like a good way to get someone really hurt. If you feel you must have pepper spray just go buy some.
 
that concentrate you are talking aboout is called oleoresin.

the stuff is nasty, heating it produces a vapor that irritates your eyes and lungs.
 
I just wrote out the entire proceedure to make this stuff, but then realised that its a bit inappropriate for me to be instructing you on how to concentrate this stuff for the purpose of weapons. I live in Australia. Capsaicin is illegal here. Promotoing how to concentrate capsaicin is a fast way for the nanna state to outlaw plants like the ButchT.

Google it. Theres recipes on there.
 
i was a policeman for 26 years in nyc. that being said, i would suggest you buy a professionally commercially made pepper spray if it is in fact legal in your state. from a liability standpoint i think you would have a better position if you maimed someone using a commercial product. im all for being tried by 12 instead of carried by 6. PS i carry pepper spray on a keyring i think its 5,000,000 SHU. (i also carry a snub nose.38) . after all, i couldnt allow some young ruffian to victimize this old man. ;)
 
I too have been in law enforcement, I could see how some homemade pepper spray could cripple or blind someone. Not worth the risk.
