lipstick pepperspray, best pepper spray for self defenseSo, you want to buy pepper spray now? Perhaps you’re looking to purchase mace instead? Who can blame you. After all the right kind of pepper spray or mace, in the right hands, are effective, non-lethal and easy-to-use types of self defense weapons. They can repel violent attackers as well as (for pepper spray) some vicious animals.

However, before you rush online to purchase a mace weapon or perhaps a pen pepper spray, let’s have a look at some of the options and technicalities. It is wise also to spend some time to reflect upon the tactical and legal issues at hand as well. I’m sure you know the saying: “Fail to prepare, or prepare to fail.”

Is pepper spray legal?

If a self-defense spray or mace weapon is legal or not depends largely upon where you live and how you use it.

In the US this types of mace and pepper spray instruments are legal in 50 states. There are (at present) some restrictions in New York, Massachusetts, Michigan, California and Wisconsin. Always check with you local authorities or a reputable seller!

In other countries other laws and regulations may certainly apply. These weapons are illegal to import and possess in most European countries.

In Canada they are also classified as a prohibited weapons when the product label contain the words pepper spray, mace, etc, or are “otherwise originally produced for use on humans”. In parts of Australia you may  carry pepper spray for lawful defense under certain conditions.

Again, you really need to contact the proper authorities (police, customs a.s.o)!

Personally I would strongly advice you against trying to bring these items through customs or attempt to buy them online. You will find that reputable online retailers refuse to ship outside of the country.

Mace or pepper spray?

The most effective ones are the pepper sprays. In 1998, the European Parliament Scientific and Technological Options Assessment (STOA) published a report titled “An Appraisal of Technologies of Political Control.” This included an extensive amount of information on tear gas (mace) and pepper spray:

sprayed with pepper spray“(…) The effects of pepper spray are far more severe, including temporary blindness which last from 15 to 30 minutes, a burning sensation of the skin which last from 45 to 60 minutes, upper body spasms which force a person to bend forward and uncontrollable coughing making it difficult to breathe or speak for between 3 to 15 minutes.”

The reaction to pepper spray is not dependent on pain response. Consequently, pepper spray is (in most cases) highly effective on those who feel little or no pain (like drunks, people on drugs, psychotics, and highly agitated persons). Furthermore, pepper spray also works well on wild animals.

The disadvantage of pepper spray is that it must be sprayed in the eyes or inhaled directly in order to take effect. Since the mace (tear gas) and pepper sprays has different advantages and disadvantages, you can also get blends of pepper spray and tear gas ingredients.

Tactical and practical consideration

Since we are talking about weapons here, you need to think carefully about how you intend to carry and use them. burying your can of mace in a purse, or fiddling to find your self defense pepper spray is a bad idea. Train how to use the stuff and carry it so that you’ll have it ready instantly. When you’re ready to buy pepper spray now, a pepper spray keychain, lipstick, pen or pepper spray ring might some times be the best solutions.
