'In case you don’t know you can legally purchase pepper spray in your state, I’ll tell you a secret: neither do retailers. The largest manufacturer of pepper spray isn’t even aware of who can legally purchase its products.' -Sofia Hamilton
A couple of months ago, I was waiting in a security line for a concert when the guard rifled through my purse, and I had an all-too-familiar realization: I had forgotten to leave my pepper spray at home. As any self-defense weapon-wielding person knows, you can’t take pepper spray into a concert, club, or bar — basically anywhere you might go at night as a young person living in a city.
The message gave me no valuable information about why I couldn’t order the safety tool — just that “there was a problem with some of the items in [my] order.” I had ordered pepper spray from Amazon without issue many times before moving to Washington, D.C., so I did some quick thinking and changed the address to my parent’s home in Florida. The error message went away. The message disappeared again when I changed the delivery address to Virginia and Maryland.
The retailers seem to be ill-informed on Washington, D.C.’s regulation of pepper spray. In 2017, the Council of the District of Columbia repealed the requirement for individuals to register their pepper sprays with their local police station. And possessing and using pepper spray for self-defense purposes is clearly permitted by the code. So there is no reason for the shipping of pepper spray to Washington, D.C., residents to be prohibited.
