Is pepper spray legal in Erie county NY?

Answer 1

Pepper Spray is legal in NYC under certain circumstances. First, you must be at least 18 years of age or older to both purchase and carry pepper spray. Second, you must have no history of felony convictions or assaults. Third, the pepper spray must be purchased from an authorized dealer, pharmacy, or gun dealer. (I am including a link below that takes you to a website that gives locations that sell pepper spray in NYC.) Fourth, when you do buy the pepper spray, you must complete a form with your name, address, birth date, and signature.

Also be aware that you cannot bring pepper spray that was purchased in another state into NYC. Also, you can not give pepper spray to any minor.

Answer 2

It is legal but you have to buy it from licensed firearms dealers or pharmacists, interestingly enough. Sometimes there are local laws and ordinances that restrict pepper spray so be sure to check with your local police or call the Prosecuting Attorney's office though any local dealer should have the answer for you.

Answer 3

It is legal in NY as long as you purchase it in NY from a gun shop or a pharmacist (strange but true).

Answer 4

Pepper spray is legal to carry in NY, but you have to purchase it in NY. You can go to a licensed gun shop or drugstore to purchase it.
