Effective Strategy Of Protection When Traveling To A Brand New City

By Sasha X Urech


I never recognized exactly how close I came to being in jail. I was visiting New York City in just a few days and the thrill was killing me. To start with, I would be going to my boyfriend that was a freshman at NYU. Secondly, I would be seeing the Big Apple for the very first time.

I showed off with pride my fresh pepper spray I purchased on the internet to my own cousin, Cathy. She used to stay in NYC. I would like her to stop worrying about me. I knew about the high crime rate the place and was not heading out unprepared. Instead, she looked scared. She stated I could get imprisoned in New York if I didn't know my pepper spray laws by state.

I checked on the internet at the regulations for buying as well as carrying self-defense sprays. Cathy was right. You can just purchase self defense spray inside New York from accredited firearms dealers or accredited pharmacists. You likewise need to be at least 18 and also have a clean record (not a problem for me).

This is literally the same story in Massachusetts. You could buy self defense spray from accredited firearms sellers only in that state, and you need a valid firearms identification card.

Michigan permits self defense spray but its highest oleoresin capsicum concentration must be 10 %. This could just be utilized to offer protection to people or property when physical force is justified.

I could bring my self defense spray along with me to Wisconsin however not tear gas. The same as in Michigan, self defense spray with an OC concentration of more than 10 % is disallowed.

Wisconsin lets you keep just half oz. to 2 oz. pepper sprays, which must have a safety system against accidental firing. Maximum range can't go over 20 feet and can't dip below 6 feet, either.

I had a good time in New York visiting my boyfriend. I thanked Cathy for telling me to look for pepper spray laws and thus helping keep my visit to NYC from turning into a nightmare (like hers, just different).
