New York or Massachusetts residents, you may only purchase defense pepper sprays from licensed Firearms Dealers or Pharmacists within the state. Michigan and Wisconsin have certain restrictions. Check out Pepper spray legality in our "Pepper Spray Law Information" page.

How does Pepper Spray Work?

In addition to causing an attacker pain, peper spray swells the mucous membranes, which makes breathing difficult, and swells the veins in the eyes, causing the eyes to close. These effects last 20-30 minutes and cause no permanent damage. All pepper sprays have locking actuators for extra safety.
