Well this my friend is a great question. Most people think that pepper spray is fine to have anywhere and everywhere you go. Let me tell you that this is not the case.
Below you will find the following states that pepper spray is either illegal to have and or illegal to ship to.
The main reason I am writing this, in case you were wondering, is because soooo many people order pepper spray off of my site when it says clearly which states I can ship to and which ones I cannot. So if you are one of those people, I forgive you. Just next time read the fine print before going all shop crazy on me. Here you go, I ever set it up as a little FAQ for ya. Hope you enjoy!
