Systematically Turning Law Abiding Citizens Into Victims

What does Alaska, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York have in common? Those states have all enacted laws to prevent their citizens from carrying the most effective defensive sprays to use in case they are attacked. Please take a look at this catalog for Sabre products, which is one of the better defensive sprays made and note this quote:

“State laws prohibit us from shipping this pepper spray model to AK, HI, MA, NJ or NY”

I am surprised the spray is not illegal in California, but I imagine that it is just a matter of time, given the people in charge who believe that they know best how “to keep you safe”, even though they have no real credentials in this area. I guess it could be cruel and inhuman to spray a violent attacker with this spray in order to stop them from harming or killing a law abiding tax paying citizen.

P.S. I am not sure why it is illegal in Alaska, and who made it illegal there, but Gun Shy is going to do some snooping around and find out if Sarah Palin realizes this.

AK is probably because it can't ship by air.
