Launchers and Projectile Laws
Are Launchers and Projectiles Legal In North Dakota?
Launchers and Projectiles in ND is Legal.
Restricted North Dakota's "dangerous weapon" definition expressly includes compressed-gas-propelled projectile devices and any projector of a noxious substance. The state's self-defense exemption is written only for hand-held spray or aerosol, not a launcher, so whether that exemption extends to a launcher-delivered OC round has not been confirmed by any North Dakota case or agency opinion. Concealed carry without a license is a class A misdemeanor. This addresses the OC-loaded (chemical-agent) configuration only; the kinetic-only (non-OC) configuration is addressed separately. Statute: N.D. Cent. Code § 62.1-01-01(1) Official source: https://ndlegis.gov/cencode/t62-1c01.pdf This is general information, not legal advice. Laws change. Confirm current requirements with North Dakota authorities or your own counsel before purchasing or carrying.
