Bear spray is dangerous and harsh and can blind humans. Good for her.

Wasp and hornet spray is rumored to be a cheaper alternative to bear spray, and it doesn’t arouse suspicion like bear spray does.

Buckshot would have been more effective but would have gotten her arrested in San Francisco.

Bear spray is nothing but a stronger form of pepper spray. will temporary blind some but no permanent damage.
Wasp and hornet spray could very well do permanent damage.
I wouldn't recommend wasp or hornet spray except to save ones life.

I wouldn't be spraying someone unless I felt they could harm me anyhow, and if you're in my house (or yard) and attempting to steal from me, all bets are off.. My weapons of choice on the job not too long ago was screen opener (nasty stuff) or web spray adhesive. In fact that reminds me I need to stock up on a few things.

What works better is wasp spray...nasty stuff and has better range than bear spray. People in the Yukon Territory often carry wasp spray instead of bear.

Since it’s CA and esp. SF., she’ll be charged with using a product for which it wasn’t intended. Now if she were protecting herself from a bear, well then ....

Pepper Spray isn't considered deadly force. There are situations where spraying some one could be justified but using deadly force would not be.
Using spray where one was justified in using deadly force could be acceptable but maybe not wise.
Using deadly force where one was only justified in use a lesser degree of force will land one in a lot of trouble.
Using force that causes some one permanent damage may or may not be justifiable.
Using pepper spray is not considered to be causing permanent damage. Where other sprays that have not been developed for use against humans or animals might be considered excessive.

In 1973, when I was an AF captain assigned to Hill AFB, UT, the Ogden Air Logistic Center Commander, my boss and I were given a guided tour of Tooele Army Depot. At that time Tooele held much of the US stockpile of nerve gas. The person giving us the tour told us that Black Flag insect spray had the same ingredients as nerve gas, only in a very greatly dilute form. So, if you spray enough of the Black Flag insect spray on the perp you may put out his lights permanently, not that I would feel too bad about that.

I was out hiking when I found myself between a grizzly sow and her cubs. She immediately charged me. I reached into my pack for my can of wasp spray when I remembered I had used it at home and forgot to put it back. I had one of those OFF mosquito fan things, so I turned it on and pointed it at her. She pulled up right in front of me and grabbed the machine.
“My, my,” she said. “What will they think of next?”
Then she ate me.

So here's my cartoon treatment of this story.
- The lovely oriental woman sees the perp stealing a package.
- She takes the bear spray and sprays out a large cloud, off to her left.
- The cloud dissolves into a very large bear, who lets out a mighty roar.
- She takes her bokken and points towards the perp, inviting the bear to, well, be a bear.
- The bear moves forward and eats the perp.
- Happy ending.

Bear spray is milder than the pepper spray made to defend against people.
