Is it illegal to buy or carry pepperspray in South Korea? Does anyone on here feel the need to carry self-defense items, whether you're in a urban or rural spot?

You used to be able to get it in Itaewon at the mart across from the Goldsfish bar, but I haven't seen it for sale there for a year or two. Not sure if it's illegal. I bet you can get it somewhere.

I gues you could always make your own if you really need it that bad? I have never felt the need to carry it in Korea.. Then again I live out in the country too...

Walk around Dongdaemoon and try some of the sketchier markets.

Just buy one of the so called "sports newspapers". You'll find advertisements for it and tasers in those.

Which sport newspaper are you refering to? Did you say "tasers"? That would be excellent. Do tell . . . .

Man, I've felt like I had created my own "pepper spray" during a trip to the hwajanshil after eating really hot Kimchi!

Men are safe. The women are definitely NOT safe.

Well they can put out. What happens in Korea, stays in Korea - like Las Vegas.

You can find recipes on the internet...probably just as good as whatever you'd need. It certainly looked freaky and undesirable.

Just pick one at random. You can also purchase air rifles if you want to snipe taxi drivers and motorcycle gangs.
