Women Rights are Gun Rights

Women are overwhelmingly the victims of sexual abuse and sexual assault, usually because their attackers are bigger, stronger, and faster than they are. There have been many developments in the field of self-defense, but the reality is that many of them can fail when most needed. Which is why a women’s ability to carry a firearm for self-defense is perhaps the most important women’s right measure we can support today.

Bear spray is legal. Pepper spray isn’t.

In Canada, pepper spray—carried for the intention of personal protection—is considered a prohibited weapon by the Criminal Code, so it’s illegal. Bear spray, carried for the intention of protecting yourself against a bear attack, is legal—although if you use it on a person, you can be charged with using a weapon. Get it? If you’re going camping or hiking in an area with bears, carry bear spray. If you’ve got a canister of bear spray left over and you want to carry it around for protection in the city, bad idea. And if you’ve got pepper spray? Get rid of it. Not only is it illegal, but it isn’t effective against bears.

Is it a Crime to Carry Pepper Spray as Self-Defence?

The Code specifically states that a prohibited weapon is:
Any device designed to be used for the purpose of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person by the discharge therefrom of

tear gas, mace or other gas, or
any liquid, spray, powder or other substance that is capable of injuring, immobilizing or otherwise incapacitating any person.

In addition, the term “weapon” has been defined to include anything designed, intended or used to cause death or injury to another person or to threaten or intimidate.
