Couteaux et spray au poivre au Mexique (2026)

Dernière vérification: 9 octobre 2026

En bref: Mexican federal law has no list of permitted or banned knives and does not mention pepper spray. Article 160 of the Código Penal Federal punishes carrying instruments for attack or defence without a lawful purpose, and work or sport tools are excepted. Knife and pepper spray carrying rules are mainly set by the penal codes of the states, which were not checked here.

RègleCe qui s'applique
Exceptions et motifs légitimesPort dans les lieux publicsFederal law punishes carrying instruments that can be used for attack or defence without a lawful purpose or with intent to attack. Tools and instruments for farm work, a trade, an art, a profession or a sport that have a known use as such are not prohibited weapons, but their use is limited to the place where the work or sport is done. When carried for work or sport, the person must be able to show that purpose. [1]

Remarques

  • Article 160 says these offences fall under the ordinary (state) courts. Which blades or sprays are treated as prohibited is for each state's penal code; none of those were checked here. The federal firearms law (LFAFE) does not mention knives or pepper spray.
