I am walking to the Caucasus and bought some bear spray for self-defence against bears in Slovenia. If I disclose that I have bear spray in my tent bag to the border guards along the way, are they likely to tolerate me taking it across the following borders: Croatia-Bosnia-Montenegro-Albania-Greece-Turkey-Georgia-Azerbaijan?

Unless you're travelling by plane, I see no reason why it would cause problems. IMO, no need to mention it upfront.– JohnnyjankoMay 26 at 6:20

Several sources claim that pepper spray is illegal in Greece, e.g. Wikipedia citing the US State Department. I haven't found a reference for the actual Greek law, though.– Nate EldredgeMay 26 at 7:00

@Johnnyjanko surely the border guards are likely to ask whether I have any any of a long list of items in my rucksack, and one word in that list is likely to be "weapons"?– noviceMay 26 at 7:06
