Colorado is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural playgrounds in the country. However, even in the majestic capital city of Denver, the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, with high numbers of assault, rape, and robbery crimes. This means that you need to be aware of how to avoid becoming a victim while you are enjoying yourself with the many wonderful activities available to you.
In Colorado, pepper spray is considered a self-defense “tool,” and not a weapon (as opposed to a knife or gun). Colorado does not have any state specific pepper spray laws restricting pepper spray use—meaning there are no specific limits to the possession and use of pepper spray, other than a duty of the buyer to understand it's responsible use.
Pepper spray is a non-lethal means of self-defense, and the use of pepper spray is considered justified when the user has reason to believe they may become victim of unlawful physical force by another person. In other words, if you feel your personal safety is at risk, the use of pepper spray as a crime deterrent or self-defense tool, is justified.
Additionally, we recommend you educate yourself about how to avoid risky safety situations, how to escape an attacker, and how to stay aware of your surroundings. Safety information and tools combined help you protect your safety.
