Missouri Pepper Spray Law Explanation
The Basics:
- Pepper spray is LEGAL to buy/use/carry/ship to Missouri
- Must be a minimum of 18 years old
- Cannot have any convicted felonies on record
- For self defense purposes only
In Missouri, it is perfectly legal to carry and use pepper spray to protect yourself from dangerous situations or assailants. It is also legal to use electronic incapacitation devices, such as stun guns. While residents of Missouri have the right to bear arms as well, non-lethal alternatives may be useful in some circumstances.
Although the crime rates in major cities such as Kansas City, Missouri, are slowly declining, the rate of decline is slow and some areas continue to be quite dangerous for those not properly protected or not properly aware of how to avoid danger. Assaults, robberies, homicides, rapes, and other violent crimes are prevalent, and it is important to protect yourself from all types of danger.
All of the products that you will find in our online store are legal in the state of Missouri for self defense if you feel your life or your safety is being threatened.
Whether you are in a location known to be dangerous or even you expect to be in a safe situation, taking the proper precautions like having some pepper spray, a stun gun, and a personal alarm to protect yourself and alert others is always a smart idea.
