Piexon JPX4 Jet Defender pepper gun

[gforce357]

Hello all,

Anyone have experience with this advanced pepper spray gun? I am seriously looking to invest in one, since getting a ccw is seemingly impossible, and non lethal 'guns' such as this seem to be a good alternative. I surprisingly could not find any threads on Calguns regarding it, and they have been out for a few years.
I haven't found any info regarding legality in Ca., and all the websites that sell it usually specify the restricted states. Ca is not listed.

Not sure how to include a video, so see the link below:

Thanks guys!

It is only CA legal for exempt persons (LEOs, on duty security, etc). [PC 22820, 22825, 22830, 22835, & 22840]

It is not CA legal for non-exempt persons due to it containing more than 2.5oz of chemical material and it being dispersed through a method that is not an aersol spray. In addition it also does not have the CA mandated warning labels. [PC 22810(e)(1)&(2)]

So, it would be illegal (misdemeanor ~ up to 1 year in jail + $2000 fine) to import, transfer, or possess it in CA. [PC 22900]

Thank you for providing this info....much appreciated.

The laws in this state are asinine

I agree.

In regards to weapons, it seems there are not many 'legal' options in this state to defend my family when were outside...it is really frustrating.

[gforce357]

I don't think I would EVER carry something thats looks like a lethal weapon, but is not, if I had a choice.

I agree.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply 'open' carry when I said carry outside, I meant carrying concealed when I go out (I corrected my original post).
