Pepper Spray

Years ago, pepper spray was unheard of to the general public. Now it seems to be a topic of conversation at every turn. How much do you know?

Mace Pepper spray is an effective, non-lethal way to protect yourself from a would-be attacker. When you spray pepper spray it is not lethal but it does hurt.

If you want information on litigation I would suggest you talk to your local police and find out what is the law where you live. Just be aware people cannot just spray pepper spray at you for no reason.

Mace Pepper sprays are available in a variety of forms, including many that are small enough to fit inside a handbag or pocket. Whether you choose a large spray canister or a lipstick-sized spray that fits on a key ring, it’s important that you use pepper spray responsibly and follow some basic guidelines:

• Check with your state laws regarding pepper spray. Some states only allow certain sizes and concentrations, and some states prohibit Internet sales of pepper spray – know the rules before you make a purchase.
• Keep your mace pepper spray in the same place at all times. You should be able to access your pepper spray as soon as you need it – in a dangerous situation, you don’t have time to dig through your purse to find it.
• Test your pepper spray periodically. It's a good idea to (carefully) test out your pepper spray to make sure it still works. It’s also good practice so you know how to use it if you need to.
• Keep mace pepper spray out of the reach of children. Although it’s not lethal, pepper spray can be painful. Don’t leave it where your kids can play with it.
