I don't think that it is, because I carried for a while when I knew my life was in danger. I was right and got attacked and I used a BIG can of pepper spray. Then the cops told me that it was illegal to carry it. What a bunch of S**T. That was in Lakewood, N.J.

In most cases it should be, but you need to check with your local law enforcement office to be sure. Laws vary based on City, County and State law.

In some states it is, but not all. Call the non-emergency number of your local law enforcement agency and ask them.
