Do not carry any weapons. This is super strict. Even a pocket knife may be a weapon (except a very small one).
When entering a church building, take your hat off.
Also pepper sprays are weapons and illegal
When entering a church? Seems rude.
Aint rude if the fat bishop comes to close to you /j
Just make sure a horse is covering your position.
If you own a horse you're part of the Schikaria and probably own a second home in Starnberg
Nope, only the ones with a broad spray thing
Oh really? Tbf i never looked into which once are allowed and which once arent
This thread gives me so many opportunities to go "well actually" with useless knowledge.
Pepper spray is kind of legal in Germany. You can freely buy it without age restrictions as a defense against wild animals. It is however illegal to deliberately use it against humans. But then again, German self-defense law allows you to use "whatever is necessary" to prevent an attack. So if you can make a compelling argument that your bare hands were not enough, you can totally use pepper spray, a knife, a baseball bat or even a gun to protect yourself, your property or others. Of course, for the gun you might be on the hook for illegal possession but that's a different question.
On the other hand, CS gas (a form of tear gas) is fully legal for use on humans.
True but some of these are not allowed to carry. Usually a crime even.
So you need to find it (accidentially...) in some dark corner on the street right at that moment before you happened to need to use it. No joke.
