Self Defense: Pepper Spray? Tasers?

2 years ago
Hello,

I've read pedestrian muggings are up in Uruguay over the past few years.

I'm arriving next week.

Is it legal for me to bring and carry pepper spray and/or an electrical zapper for self defense?

If so, am I better off buying it on Amazon while still in the US, or getting it there?

Thanks!
