MEC has had a run on bear spray.
I've been meaning to pick up a fresh canister as mine has been expired for a while and this incident prompted me to go get it done on Sunday eve. The cashier said they'd gone through a few boxes since the incident hit social media.
Genuine question: I've got some bear spray (which I've only ever carried with me when I know I'm in a grizzly territory) but it's expired.
What actually happens if you try to use long-expired bear spray? How does it affect the propellant and/or the active ingredients??
