So the other day I went into an authorized pepper spray dealer in NYC (an army/police store) and bought it. Its legal for purchase and possession in NYC, however it must be from an authorized NYC seller or pharmacy.
The issue being, that I was not prompted to fill out any paperwork. To my understanding, you have to fill out paperwork for every transaction involving pepper spray. I also asked the dealer several times, but they said and insisted that I don't need any. I then called a licensed NYC pharmacy and they said that they make you fill paperwork out.
Now what are the rules here? Can I be arrested for carrying it or using it in defense? I don't want to be carrying pepper spray illegally, but is there paperwork required? I just waltzed in and bought it even asking if they needed my ID, which they didn't.
The box specifically says 15% pepper spray too.
