Pepper Spray and Manhattan / NYC

[kid_fisto]

So if I live in MA and legally buy and possess pepper spray can I lawfully go into Manhattan with it?

I'm sure it's "not a great idea", but would like something besides my fists of fury with which to defend myself.

In the state of New York, pepper spray may be legally possessed by any person age 18 or over; however, it must be purchased in person (i.e., cannot be purchased by mail-order or internet sale) either at a pharmacy or from a licensed firearm retailer (NY Penal Law 265.20 14 (a)), and the seller must keep a record of purchases. The use of pepper spray to prevent a public official from performing his/her official duties is a class-E felony.

Good luck trying to walk into a CVS and asking for it they'll have no clue. I tried.
