    Default Pepper Spray

    I don't know if this is illegal but I've heard a growing demand from circle of friends that their family members (particular Asian) would like to carry some around for protection in case of any violence against them.

    Can anyone direct me on where it is available to purchase?

    I don't think "Pepper spray" is available, but bear mace can be acquired at any outdoor store?

    Be careful though, carrying this could land you a weapons charge if the cop felt like sticking you with it, or an assault charge if used.

    Would not advise.

    The question is why? Used incorrectly you're just going to piss someone off.

    Buy "dog" spray and when you buy it, if questioned, make sure to tell them it's for dogs not people. If you say you are buying it for personal defense or for people they aren't legally allowed to sell it to you. You can buy it on Amazon, shooting ranges, Canadian tire, etc.

    Do not buy bear spray - it comes out in a fine-mist cloud, the cans are massive, and the way you're supposed to use it is totally different. For people you want a tight stream to spray at a face kind of like a water gun.

    As for the legal side of things, if you are out for a walk and want to protect yourself from "dogs" but are attacked by a person and end up using it on said person, I would imagine you would be within your rights to do so but I am not 100% sure on the details.

    I ordered pepper spray from eBay several years back. Still have it - though I'd question its potency now...

    Arrived without incident. Cops did see it once when I got pulled over but gave it back once they were convinced I was not a threat.

    'pepper spray' itself is not illegal if the OC % is 5% or less. Carrying a massive can of bear spray around the city is questionable, but a small dosing unit in your bag or purse is not. Same as carrying a knife around.

    I feel like OP is nzwasp v2.0.

    Every thread seems to contain, in one form or another, some type of stupid proposition or subject matter.

    I mean yea, that’s why you carry it for another legal reason, but when shtf it’s perfectly legal to use what you have on hand in self defence.

    Your intentions are the sticking point when it comes time to defend yourself from a charge.

    You carry bear mace or a shotgun for bears.

    You carry dog spray for dogs.

    You have a knife as a tool.

    You own a handgun for target practice.

    You do not carry any of the above with the intention of defending yourself against a human, and that’s the story you stick to.

    If you think a rise in female attacks is stupid then i guess this topic might be one of them

    ^ what rise in Calgary are you referring to? The CPS reported no statistical significant increases specifically with these crimes - ie. offenses by strangers against women.

    You can't assume gender based on appearance anymore so it's all reported under UFO sighting.
