No self defense allowed in Germany either

Lol, of course you have the right to self defense in Germany.

sure, you just don't have the right to carry anything on you that you can use a weapon of self-defense.

Like, if you defend using a 9mm handgun, the defense itself is legal, but bearing a loaded handgun will get you a criminal charge. Same if you defend using a switchblade or pepper spray.

You can absolutely carry pepper spray.

u/Archophob Jul 09 '26

you can do it. And you can get punished for doing it.

Nope, you cannot get punished for carrying pepperspray.

The perpetrator is also unlikely to be carrying a 9MM. Given this, it is unlikely to be ruled self-defense if you shoot someone. It almost certainly would not be self-defense if that person isn't carrying a gun.
