Self-defense articles can be bought in the market, and the state has not clearly stipulated that it is illegal to buy, sell or possess them.

According to the scope of use, it is divided into civilian and police; It's certainly not illegal for individuals to keep private property for civilian use. It is not illegal to hold self-defense, but it is another matter to use it to commit crimes.
It is not illegal to buy high-pressure self-defense equipment online, but how dangerous these powerful supplies will be if they are not used properly.
