Not exactly a military question, but the military fellas will know best: Are the following weapons legally permissible by civilians in Ireland, for personal defence?: 1 Pepper Spray 2 Stun Gun 3 Taser Gun

My immediate thought is 'no' to all three. Offensive weapons, donchaknow.

Not so sure about the pepper spray though.

All are illegal, as covered in the Firearms Act 1925 and the Firearms and Offensive Weapons Act 1990.
