Is pepper spray legal in Germany?

1. It's legal as long as it's labeled "Tierabwehrspray", animal defense spray. :cool:

2. You must never say you're carrying it to defend against attacks from people, only from animals.

Sad (pathetic) what lengths subjects of these countries must go to be able, at the most basic level, to defend themselves, assuming they aren't (effectively) denied this most basic right entirely, like in Britain.

Since people are animals, you would not be lying to say you carried it for defense against animals either way. ;)
 

That made me think of this from a paper explaining how the invention of the wheel lock and later, even less expensive guns, led to a reduction in violent crime in Britain: Carlisle Moody: Handguns Stop Murders

In 13th century Europe, the [murder] rate was 22.68 per 100,000 rising to 40.79 per 100,000 by the 15th century. ... Carlisle Moody of the College of William & Mary says that the year the trend changed was 1505 and what happened was the handgun, namely the wheel lock pistol which by that year had become common enough to make a social impact.

The pistol put the little guy (and gal) on a equal footing with the big, strong, armor-plated club/knife/ax wielding thug.
...
In Britain, by 1920 it had fallen to .84 per 100,000. That was the year The Firearms Act was passed essentially ending the English right to bear arms. Since then the British murder rate has risen to 1.44 (as of 1999) and the assault rate has exploded from 2.39 per 100,000 to 419.29.
 
In the meanwhile in FL...

Florida House Passes A Bill Banning Sanctuary Cities. ACLU Issues Travel Warning.

The bill passed 69-47 along party lines in the Republican-controlled House, reported NBC News. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Cord Byrd, a Republican representing the Jacksonville Beach area.

Last week, in an interview on Fox Business Network, Byrd said that the bill would allow for transparency between federal and local law enforcement.

"Here's the problem: Our state and local law enforcement officers don't have access to the federal indices, so we don't know if that person in Florida is using an alias," Byrd said. "They may have committed a serious violent crime in another state, been deported, and now have come back into the United States. We see that scenario over and over and over. So before we release this potentially dangerous person back into our communities, we want to know whether or not the federal immigration authorities have reason to detain this person further."

According to the bill, local governments will be fined $5,000 each day they do not comply with the ban, reported The Hill.

A similar bill in the Florida Senate is currently pending.

Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is pushing for an amendment that would allow him to "initiate judicial proceedings in the name of the state" against local governments which do not cooperate with federal immigration officials, reported CBS Miami.

"The governor is supportive of this measure which reiterated his constitutional authority to remove an executive or administrative state, county or municipal" officer for violating state law, said Helen Ferre, a spokeswoman for DeSantis.

Cue the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Following the passage of the bill, the ACLU issued a travel alert for Florida if the bill indeed becomes law.

"If Florida State Bill 168 and House Bill 527 pass, it would undermine local governments' ability to protect the civil rights of their residents by forcing local officials to cooperate with ICE," the ACLU wrote in a statement. "It would also put immigrants at risk of violence, potentially forcing victims and witnesses to stay silent for fear of deportation."

"Both Florida residents, citizens and non-citizens, and travelers could face risks of being racially profiled and being detained without probable cause," the statement added.
