Pepper Spray vs Bear Spray Against Dogs

Not sure about the difference in ingredients/potency ect, but most bear spray will fan out or spray in a "cone" pattern. That may make it more likely to get you too should their be any wind.
 
I seriously doubt any LEO in my state would arrest anyone for using bear spray to protect yourself from 2 or 4-legged attackers.

Over-kill is not a factor against a large aggressive dog determined to tear you up, nor a MS-13 (etc. other drug gangs) gang member determined to carve you up for kicks.

I know this is an older thread but I found the law.

U.S. Code § 136j - Unlawful acts​

(2)It shall be unlawful for any person
(G) to use any registered pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling;

7 U.S. Code § 136 - Definitions​

(ee)To use any registered pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling
The term “to use any registered pesticide in a manner inconsistent with its labeling” means to use any registered pesticide in a manner not permitted by the labeling, except that the term shall not include (1) applying a pesticide at any dosage, concentration, or frequency less than that specified on the labeling unless the labeling specifically prohibits deviation from the specified dosage, concentration, or frequency, (2) applying a pesticide against any target pest not specified on the labeling if the application is to the crop, animal, or site specified on the labeling, unless the Administrator has required that the labeling specifically state that the pesticide may be used only for the pests specified on the labeling after the Administrator has determined that the use of the pesticide against other pests would cause an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment, (3) employing any method of application not prohibited by the labeling unless the labeling specifically states that the product may be applied only by the methods specified on the labeling, (4) mixing a pesticide or pesticides with a fertilizer when such mixture is not prohibited by the labeling, (5) any use of a pesticide in conformance with section 136c, 136p, or 136v of this title, or (6) any use of a pesticide in a manner that the Administrator determines to be consistent with the purposes of this subchapter. After March 31, 1979, the term shall not include the use of a pesticide for agricultural or forestry purposes at a dilution less than label dosage unless before or after that date the Administrator issues a regulation or advisory opinion consistent with the study provided for in section 27(b) of the Federal Pesticide Act of 1978, which regulation or advisory opinion specifically requires the use of definite amounts of dilution.
