Virginia State Pepper Spray Law
The Basics:
- Pepper spray is LEGAL to buy, ship, carry and use in Virginia
- Must be a minimum of 18 years old
- Cannot have any convicted felonies on record
- For self defense purposes only
Although it is a felony in Virginia to discharge tear gas or pepper spray in an unlawful manner or with intent to harm others, using pepper spray for the purposes of self defense is perfectly legal. Pepper spray makes a perfect non-lethal weapon if you want to reduce your chances of becoming a victim or a statistic. When you use pepper spray against a potential assailant, you can quickly incapacitate them and give yourself a chance to get to a safer situation. The products that we sell online are all legal to use for the purposes of self defense in the state of Virginia.
In the city of Virginia Beach, the largest city in Virginia, the crime rate is rising. The occurrence of robbery, assault, rape, and other violent crimes is increasing. Make sure that you protect yourself the best way possible, and carry a personal protection product such as pepper spray or an electronic incapacitation device (e.g., stun gun).
Enjoying yourself while on vacation in Virginia Beach, or roaming around safely if you are a local resident, becomes easier when you feel protected. Always remain aware of your surroundings and make sure that you have some pepper spray on hand… just in case.
