Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia

Would it be in violation of state or federal law for a 15 year old to carry pepper spray/mace even with parental consent? What about a stun gun with parental consent?

If my 15 year old needs to carry pepper spray, mace or a stun gun, then I have really done something wrong as a parent. I need to remove them from the neighborhood, school ,church or whereever they feel threatened. Now that you have totally ignored that, I doubt if they can carry a stun gun under any circumstance. I do not know about pepper spray. I would be less concerned about the carrying and more concrened about the using. The fact that they may carry legally doesn't mean that they know when to deploy these weapons. I receiving training (you do intend to train them on the use of the weapon?), you will learn what weapons are legal or illegal. Please keep my number because I see a costly aggravated assault in your child's future.
