If I carry a tactical pen equipped with a glass breaker, would I be able to use it for self defence if I am attacked in Australia, Victoria?
If not, what are the legal self defence weapons I am able to use in VIC?

1. No.
2. None. There is no "white list" of what's allowed, in the way you are asking about.
