    Look up less-lethals. They are like overpowered BB guns for self defense. You can legally carry them anywhere that doesn’t have a no weapons sign. My brother got me into them. I still never shot it so I don’t know how lethal they are but they look exactly like real guns.

      I have one of those for home defense with pepper balls and steel balls, but I will not bring it outside, especially since in the U.S. they are, by my understanding, less protected legally than pistols.

      Plus if I actually need it, it is highly unlikely to work.

            I looked it up for you. They are generally legal. But you have to check if there are any regs for your municipality.

              Champ. Thank you so much

              Was there any particular statute or is the lack of one?

              Also how did you navigate the mess of words to see? It is really difficult for me.

                Lack of one. But it depends on your city. Cities might have tighter restrictions vs the state. Even though it is Legal in both our states.

                As far as how I navigate ‘messes of words’ I am not sure what you mean. I mean I have to wear my glasses, lol.

                    I just googled it. Safe to say you will get a credible answer mostly likely. You dont need to study a lock of law. Just find a law site in search results that you can judge as credible or not.
