Pepper Spray laws in Texas are governed by the Texas Penal Code. Specifically,
TITLE 10. OFFENSES AGAINST PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY, AND MORALS CHAPTER 46. WEAPONS. Pepper Spray can be considered a weapon. What is considered illegal is: "Chemical dispensing device" means a device, other than a small chemical dispenser sold commercially for personal protection that is designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of dispensing a substance capable of causing an adverse psychological or physiological effect on a human being.
Basically, what this is saying is that a small dispenser is legal. What exactly is "small" is not specified and has been up for debate. The law goes on to say where all weapons can be used and in what areas even legal weapons are illegal. Such locations are a school or educational institution, polling places when an election is happening, in a secure area at an airport, government court or offices used as courts (written permission can be requested), racetracks, and within 1000 feet of the location of a place of execution.

What are the laws of underage possession of alcohol?
My son was charged with underage possession of alcohol in PA. The actual charge was written as "underage drinking", which I think is very unfair. He was offered to serve 20 hours of community service or take a 2 weekend alcohol "rehab" course at the cost of $100. He also lost his license for 90 days. Apparently this will remain on his driving record forever,but not his criminal record. Luckily, due to this being his first offense (and hopefully last!) he was eligible to apply for a limited occupational/school license. This allows him to drive himself to work and college only.
Yes, Maine is an 'Open Carry State'. However, that does not mean that the local police dept -or- sherriff's dept will not detain you, (or simply, harrass you), for carrying a handgun 'cowboy style' down the sidewalk. Your best bet is to apply for a consealed weapons permit, and know the laws pertaining to both 'open carry' & 'consealed weapons'.

Can a felon in ny state hunt with a muzzle loader?
Please verify with the NY State Game Commission- and the answer seems to be "maybe". NY does not consider an "antique" to be a firearm. The term Antique includes muzzle loading caplock or flintlock rifles and shotguns, and present day reproductions of them. However, a modern, in-line, 209 primer type muzzleloader CANNOT be used by a felon under FEDERAL law. That prohibits a felon from possessing "ammunition"- and ammunition includes 209 shotshell type primers (but not #11 percussion caps). Some state laws permit possessin of a muzzleloader by felons, some do not- so please verify with your state.
