Agree training is key. Let's assume the teen is uber-responsible. What about her friends that know she carries OC / Mace? What's the chance that a joke from one of them only sprays a drop or 2 as a joke in a mall or to clear out a classroom? Who's going to get in serious trouble for having it, regardless of who sprayed it?
With due respect, I would teach other types of self defense to teenagers instead of giving them OC/Mace.
