Under Section 2 of the Firearms Act (Cap 114, Laws of Kenya) , a "firearm" is broadly defined to include any weapon designed or adapted to discharge any "noxious liquid, gas, or other thing." Because pepper spray discharges oleoresin capsicum (a chemical agent), carrying or possessing it without a valid firearm certificate issued by the Firearms Licensing Board (FLB) constitutes a criminal offense under Section 4(1) of the Act.
