Mace

[palefrost]

Does anyone have a site where i could buy mace to keep on my key chain? Im looking for something really small and not noticeable. When i was younger my brother bought me one for xmas and i love it but havent been able to find a replacement.

We can't really buy Mace, right, just the pepper spray? Here's a link with some useful looking items. Even if you can't find the exact same thing maybe there's something similar to what you want.

TY that is what i was looking for. Is mace and pepper spray not the same thing? I wasnt searching right i guess. I thought it was all the same thing.

I always thought they were the same thing. Thank you for the site. In this world you need to have some kind of protection just in case. I would much rather have the pepper spray than a gun.

I think that mace is a good protection to use but at the same time I wouldnt hesistant to use a gun if that means to protect myself or my family from danger.

Actually that is not necessarily true. It all depends on where you live.

This information will explain a little about the different types. More information can be found at the website in my signature. click on pepper spray laws

There are four major chemicals used as self-defense chemical sprays.
The first two are CS and CN, short for orthochlorobenzalmalononitrile and chloroacetophenone, respectively. They are the most common by far. A third, code named CR (dibenz (b,f)-1,4-oxazepin), has not come into civilian use.
At standard temperature and pressure, these are actually white crystals with fairly low vapor pressures, not gasses, and they're not very soluble in water. In order to disperse them, they are suspended in a liquid carrier and aerosolized.
You have probably heard of Mace Pepper Spray, which is one of many brands of CN tear gas and is a well recognized trade name by both civilian and law enforcement tear gas users.
The fourth is pepper spray, which is the oleoresin capsicum extracted from chili peppers. It's the chemical that gives them their hot quality. OC is a reddish-orange, oily liquid, insoluble in water. This agent is also dispersed by aerosol. Tear gas has been credited with saving lives when police are faced with barricade situations and combative suspects. Its use is a standard tactic which usually facilitates an arrest without the need for lethal force.

I think you could find a mace on your local mall. They can usually be found at sports utility stores or department.

I didn't know where I could find mace either....thanks for helping me out as well.

I've always been reluctant to carry Mace. Just my luck the attacker would get it away and spray it in my face. But I do have a very intimidating yell and a knowledge of basic self-defence skills, so I'm not too worried. It also helps that I live in a safe neighbourhood.

I'm not a fan of carrying mace either, but like you, I live in a rural area where a gun would be more protection than mace anyway. I think it's a good thing in urban areas where the neighborhood might be dicey but I also think a person needs to read up on how to use it before carrying it around.
