What I am wondering is this; I suspect the propellant in my 1lb canister of bear spray which I always wear on my hip is likely flammable. How cool would that be? A literal flamethrower. A guy would probably have to be careful to not set the woods on fire. I wonder if anyone has tried it.........that is, holding a match up to it and giving it a pull :question

Ever test-fired a canister?  (I have.) Might give that a try and then tell us what you think about holding a match in front of it.
