I have seen people say and do some rather absurd things, but I have not seen anyone say to actually carry ‘bug’ spray as a self defense weapon.
As far as any federal laws on improper use of any insect repellent or insect poison, if it is all I have for some reason while on my property, and I need to gain an advantage, it will be used in any and every possible way, along with any other every day item that can be and is a weapon, including a ball point pen. It is not likely that I would be in the field without a firearm, but I try to avoid saying never… so I can not say I would never be without a firearm.
If you have seen someone in some forum state that ‘bug’ spray should be a self defense tool (not just an emergency weapon of availability, but actually suggesting to carry it intentionally as a weapon)… leave that forum… run… run fast and far and get away from them, or at the least, avoid the person who said it as if they had the plague.
