Hi--

Weird question, but does anybody know if it's legal to cross the border in a car with pepper spray? And is it legal to have it in Mexico?

We'll be moving to Mexico in a few weeks and I mountain bike a ton. I can't count the number of times I've been chased (and occasionally bitten) by dogs in Africa and Latin America while riding in rural areas and would like to have a good deterrent this time around! Thanks!

Wasp spray can be even more effective, cheap and easy to find.

If it can be purchased here then I assume it is not illegal.

Thanks

Thanks Vlynn. Even before your post, I wouldn't have considered wasp spray. Already purchased the pepper spray and just am deciding on whether to bring it or not. The video validates what I was already thinking. Thanks again.
