Is it illegal to carry mace ‘pepper’ spray in New Jersey?



I’ve been wanting to start taking runs in the morning in my neighborhood but I don’t feel comfortable going alone, even though I live in the suburbs. My father suggested carrying mace with me. But since I am not eighteen yet, I heard that it is illegal. Can someone verify this for me? Thanks in advance.

not from new jersey but its you right to defend yourself

2A:62A-20. Immunity from civil liability for use of chemical substance for self-defense
1. Notwithstanding any provisions of law to the contrary, a person who possesses a chemical substance for the purpose of personal self-defense in accordance with subsection i. of N.J.S.2C:39-6 and who releases or discharges that chemical substance upon or toward another person shall not be liable in any civil action for damages resulting from that release or discharge when the actor reasonably believes that the releasing or discharging of that chemical substance is immediately necessary for the purpose of personal self-defense. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to grant immunity to any person causing any damage by his willful, wanton or grossly negligent unlawful releasing or discharging of such a chemical substance upon or toward another person.

You have to be at least 18 years of age or older to carry pepper spray in the state of NJ. You also have to have no felonies. The pepper spray bottle can contain no more than 3/4 of an ounce of spray. It’s those small bottles, costs about 10 bucks. You can only use it in self-defense, if you feel that your life is endangered.
