Can I carry pepper spray in WA if I am facing MIP and obstruction charges?
LOCATION: Washington
So I was arrested a few days ago and was charged with:
Minor in Possession (RCW 66.44.270.3A)
Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer (RCW 9A.76.020)
It was a dumb mistake and I regret it but I want to know if it is still legal and safe for me to carry pepper spray?
Being a 19yo woman I feel safer with it but fear if I use it, it could hurt my case if the guy I use it on claims it wasn't self defense...
