Is it illigal/dangrous to spray some teenagers with a fire extinguiser?

    Say you have some annoying teenagers hanging out and refusing to leave, could you be in any legal trouble if your sprayed them with a fire extinguiser?

    God no, it's fine.

    Try running at them with an axe. That's more effective. Still perfectly legal though

    Depends if they're on fire or not.

    And you're really planning to depend on an internet forum for your guidance here?!

    Do you mean after you use a flame-thrower on them?


    Then yes.

    VERY - VERY dangerous.
    I can speak from personal experience.
    Had one sprayed at me while I was a teen. As I was breathing in at the time, the frozen particles entered ny nore and mouth and by the time it got to my throat, it had virtually frozebn it up, nearly chocking me to death.
    But for the pure luck that someone wrapped a towel on hot water around the outside of my neck right away and allowed me to sip hot water carefully, I would have died.
    For five/ten minutes I genuinely thought I was a dead tenn walking.

    DO NOT DO IT!

    Why do you doubt me?

    If I say it's legal, then it's legal. I don't lie.


    Make sure you take pictures

    After Hours is not the place to ask for legal advice, OP.
