Where Do You Buy Pepper Spray?

By Jordan R. Masten


With the increasing crime rate across the nation, we need to be more alert and prepared for any instance of crime that may come and threaten us. Pepper spray, also known as OC spray (Oleoresin Capsicum), is just one form of safety measure that can be used to defend ourselves against attackers who intend to hurt or harm you. A small container can easily disperse enough chemical to confuse your attacker by causing temporary blindness for 15-30 minutes, long enough for you to escape. Most of these sprays also contain a UV dye that is not visible to the attacker and takes several days to wear of, this can be of value to the police if the individual is caught. Some also have CS in them, this is similar to riot control gas that police use it causes uncontrolled choking and coughing.

This is also good for hikers, backpackers, etc. who frequently may be alone in a remote area and need some form of protection.eBay-not a great selection, but a good start.Online websites-look for those selling personal safety and security products, most will have many different types and sizes.Safety seminars-these may be through work or at the library for free. Often times the speaker has items to sell after the safety seminar.This is where I bought my first pepper spray.Flea markets & swap meets

Since there are so many sizes and types of pepper spray, you need to think about how and when you might need to use it. There are also pepper gels and pepper foam, having different types of coverages and spray ranges. Sprays range from 10% to 18% strength, and some have identifying dyes and tear gas included in the spray. Also, your state may have restrictions on the type and strength of the pepper spray, so make sure you check. Sizes range from oz. and up. There are sprays that attach to your key chain, some that attach to your car visor, and larger ones to keep in a safe place at home. Whatever size spray you chose, make sure you try a practice spray in a safe place so you're ready if you ever need it.

Where can I get mace? I hear this question all the time and it's one that everyone needs to know the answer to. The problem is everyone seems to wait till usually a crime has been committed and they are scared or worried about their personal security. One of the best and least expensive ways to protect yourself is with mace products, there are several Mace Products and two that really can be lifesavers are the Mace Key Chain Pepper Spray the Mace Pepper Spray Baton which is basically a Kubaton with pepper spray inside ready to unleash. The Mace Pepper Spray Baton is available in five colors; pewter, black, red, blue & purple, the key chain product comes in a variety of colors also.

Last thought for you there are review websites that can help you find reliable shops to purchase these types of sprays as well as other self-defense products.These reviews often have inquiries like "where do you buy pepper spray?" and other questions commonly asked by interested buyers. By reading the responses of others we can locate information about what self-defense products are bought more and what companies are most reliable. Where ever you decide to go and purchase your spray, please check your local state regulations as to what dealers are allowed to sell these sprays. Also, most states require you to be 18 years of age in order to purchase and carry such products.

A lot of people I have met and talked to say that buying pepper spray is a daunting task. For some reason people think that obtaining such a spray requires you to go out and get some sort of license. They couldn't be farther from the truth. Pepper spray can be bought almost anywhere such as department stores, hardware stores and local gun shops. Believe me when I tell you its not hard to by the hot stuff.

Mace spray is commonly used for personal defense--it's easy to carry, easy to use, and can be quickly disabling but not lethal. Mace and pepper spray are both commonly used products in police activities, for military use and for personal self-defense. Mace is known as a type of tear gas, while pepper spray is made up of a combination of hot peppers called oleoresin capsicum.

When someone is looking for a self defense spray I know they want something that will keep them safe and prevent who knows what. Just buy a spray with a high concentrate and you should be fine. One more thing to consider is your states laws.Most states have no restrictions with concealing and carrying pepper spray. As of this writing there are several states that do not allow pepper spray shipping. They are as follows: out of the U.S.A., to WI, NY, MA or MI. Although they cant be shipped it does not mean that you cant buy them in your state. Check local and federal laws if your not sure. I always tell people to look online first and if they find something that does not mention their state restriction to buy it there. Other than that check local gun/sportsman shops.

Most grown-ups come out in office clothes, toting unwieldy bags and hefty suitcases, hands tied to cell phones and personal effects, none of which makes us ready to come face to face with an attacker. We do not step out of the house anticipating trouble. Most adults have desk jobs and little to no self-defense skills. With the mace pepper spray, literally, attackers do not get to come face to face with us.

When it comes to purchasing self-defense weapons it is very important that you DO READ the directions and also become very familiar with your new device. It's very important to spend a sometime learning and getting comfortable with your pepper mace. This can make a huge difference in an attack situation. Knowing how and when to use your Mace Pepper Spray is crucial.
