Currently, in order to buy mace or pepper spray, interested parties must first apply for a Firearm Identification Card. According to an article in the Telegram and Gazette, “the application process includes a $25 fee, background check and fingerprinting.” The T & G says it can take up to a month to receive the FID card. Jones, Peterson and a dozen other lawmakers are sponsoring a bill that would allow people to buy these items without a license.
