Doesn’t dc require you to register pepper spray as a weapon if purchased in Dc? So how is that incident labeled as “unarmed”

Can you purchase that in DC? Amazon refused to deliver to my house and I had to pick it up outside the city.

The dude who openly sells it outside Target would like to have a word.

I think the laws have changed in the past few years. It used to be that if you purchased in the district you had to register it. When I first moved to Dc I tried to register it at a police station and they had no idea what I was talking about.

Now, however, I don’t think you need to register it and it’s lawful to carry for self defense only.

It’s possible Amazon hasn’t updated their restrictions to match current laws.

Here’s Sabre’s website with outdated info
