The states that do allow pepper spray are Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, Hawaii. These are states that you know you can carry pepper spray for your safety. There are other states that may allow it, but I would check to make sure as the laws do change.
The kind of pepper spray you can use is called Michigan Formula which is about 2.5 oz. When you feel like you want to have pepper spray with you so you feel safe you can go to the police station and show 2 forms of i.d. and they will give you a permit. It costs $2.00 in most states. That way you are legal and you may protect yourself when ever you need to.
When you spray pepper spray it is not lethal but it does hurt. If you feel that you were sprayed excessively or irresponsibly you can go through litigation. There have been times when the police have had to use pepper spray and they have been through litigation.
If you want information on litigation I would suggest you talk to your local police and find out what is the law where you live. Just be aware people can not just spray pepper spray at you for no reason.
There you have it, some basic information on pepper spray that you may have not considered or know about. Use these tips and breathe a little easier.
