Pepper spray?
Where are some places in LA that you can buy one of those pepper spray key chains? I jog at night and would feel safer having one with me...As for the laws on it...is it true that you have to give a warning before using it on someone? you can't just spray away when someone does something to you??
Answers:
You can buy one here for about 8 bucks.

Laws:
What is the pepper spray law in California? Misuse of tear gas in California comes with state penalties of up to a $1000 fine and/or up to three years in prison, not to mention a possible felony conviction on record. Examples of misuse include using tear gas on people in anger, spraying it as a joke, or possession of tear gas by prohibited persons. Minors, drug addicts or persons convicted of felonies, assault or misuse of tear gas are legally prohibited from possessing tear gas, although there are few barriers to procurement of tear gas by these people. To be legally purchased, possessed or used in California, any canister must have a label that says "WARNING: The use of this substance or device for any purpose other than self-defense is a crime under the law. The contents are dangerous--use with care." The maximum legal net weight for a canister is 2.5 ounces, or 70 grams of OC.
Using Pepper Spray Legally
What is the legal way to use pepper spray? Using pepper spray irresponsibly can incur criminal or civil liability. Spraying an innocent victim in the face can be a crime. Much like a punch in the face, it would be charged as assault or battery in most jurisdictions. The justification for using pepper sprays must either be self-defense from personal injury or an arrest situation, and the force must be reasonable under the circumstances. For example, the law says you can´t lawfully spray someone in the face for using obscene language or because you are simply afraid because they look mean.
It is against the law to spray someone without some sort of warning, but this warning can be anything, as long as its a clear rejections of their actions, such as "no!" "STOP!" or "LET GO!" -- This law will be waved if you're gagged or something, of course--. Also, don't be silly even if it was against the law no judge in the world is going to convict you for spraying a rapist without warning him. as for where to get one, pawn shops and gun stores normally carry them, I can't give you the name of a store though. Good luck, i hope you find where to buy it and that it is of no use (as in you never need to use it). You're a smart woman for wanting it though, I wish all women got it. Good luck and i hope this helps.
