In many jurisdictions, it is legal to buy and possess tear gas for self-defense or in accordance with local laws regulating the use of firearms. Some cities, like Seattle, Washington, have outlawed the possession of tear gas for private citizens, while other cities, such as Oakland, California, require a permit in order to purchase tear gas. In general, it is recommended to check with local authorities before purchasing tear gas for legal considerations.
