I'm trying to get my wife to carry something... anything for self defense.

From what I read here chemical sprays do not require a license of any type.

Am I interpreting that correctly?

I am by no means an expert but that won't stop me from doling out questionable advice.

IIRC, you do not need a CCW if the container is under a certain size.  1 fluid ounce comes to mind, but I am not 100% positive.

You need to read chapter 790.001

(b)  "Tear gas gun" or "chemical weapon or device" means any weapon of such nature, except a device known as a "self-defense chemical spray." "Self-defense chemical spray" means a device carried solely for purposes of lawful self-defense that is compact in size, designed to be carried on or about the person, and contains not more than two ounces of chemical.

My wife carry one of these Spitfire. Don't forget to watch the demo videos

Thanks for the link; I read that part but not the whole paragraph!

Spitfire may be the answer. Sucks to be "Tester Guy"!

Although she loves the Taurus snub .38 I have, she'd never want to carry one.

Plus she needs to go onto college grounds, so a firearm is out of the question for her most of the time.
