Going kayaking with the gf soon, I see Ramsey outdoor store has bear mace

 

Is that nj legal? I thought the law was 3/4 ounce but these things are pretty big in size

 

I don't want to buy it and get arrested though it seems something like that would open a big lawsuit in Ramsey outdoor, so I would assume they did their research but better to be safe than sorry

 

Thanks

I believe its technically illegal but will have alot to do with the totality of circumstances surrounding your L.E. encounter.

 

Bluelinefish or Highexposure will be able to give a definitive answer

3/4 ounce is right. Read through this thread:

Spray him a little and then call time out for reloading.

Weird how is Ramsey allowed to sell it then? Wouldn't they get busted for being in possession

 

Not saying you're wrong, just amazes me Ramsey will sell something to their customers something that might be illegal

legal for bears not legal for people...Read, it says illegal to use for other than intended purpose.

It says that on my air freshener.

The one in Paramus or Ramsey? I need to get some.

The Roxbury store sells it also. I was there today saw it and thought the same thing as the OP of this thread. I have a friend who works the gun counter there I'm going to ask him about it. He is pretty knowledgeable when it comes to firearms law and weaponry.

Ok I just asked the guy I know who works there and this is what he told me

 

"IT is made by the company named mace, but it is pepper spray."

 

I then asked him if pepper spray was legal in containers larger than 3/4oz

 

This is what he said back

 

" as far as I know it is, we wouldn't sell it if it was illegal"

3/4 ounce is what you can carry on your persons

having read the law that is what im going with also. I don't care what anyone says. The law clearly states 3/4oz container.

It's 3/4 oz to carry for personal self defense against humans.

 

These stores carry the larger bear sprays because its ok to carry it for hiking for bear defense. I wouldn't carry it walking down Main Street Woodbridge but while hiking in bear country it's ok. I guess you can have it in your car if you are on the way to hiking. Similar to having a knife in your car on the way to fishing but remember transport rules.

 

The 20 yard wasp spray is just as good and cheaper against bears and people and I don't think you can get in trouble for having wasp spray within reach in your car since your just bringing it somewhere for its intended purpose (if asked). My wife keeps a can of wasp spray on her passenger front seat in a Home Depot bag
