By Mary R. Joyce


There are many places to buy pepper spray, but you won't find it at most of your local retail stores. You won't see "The Pepper Spray Store" at your local mall. Pepper spray, a non-lethal personal safety product, along with personal safety and protection, are things that most people don't want to talk about. No one thinks that she (or he) will be a victim.But for those smart ones who want to be ready just in case, here are some places to buy pepper spray:Your local gun store/range-along with guns, ammo, targets, supplies, it probably will have a selection of sprays.Your local sporting goods store-if this store carries firearms and supplies, it probably will also carry pepper sprays.

So where do you buy pepper spray and other self-defense products? Most department or outdoors stores usually carry a small selection. They will typically have the small 1/2 oz models, normally in a plastic our leather case and large models that are labeled as bear sprays. If you find it in a discount or club store be sure to check the expiration date, most canister are good for 3 to 4 years if they are close you may not be getting much of a deal. local gun dealers carry a wider selection and may be newer, drawback you are going to pay a premium price to them. You can ask friends and relatives if they have purchased sprays you might be surprised how many other people own them or have looked for sprays also.

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.

Many online shops are catering to and offering self-defense sprays. These sites give customer a place to leave feedback about the stores reputation and service as well as prices and promos. Individuals that are interested in buying self-defense sprays or other products, should look a few sites, read there reviews, they should not be all positive, if they are the owner is deleting comments and you may want to just move on. After all no one or business is perfect. There is pretty good competition out there between these sites, so you can get some good deals and there merchandise is normally rather fresh due to boom in internet sales.

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.

One good thing about buying pepper spray is that most of them have several different safety switches and latches which prevent accidental discharge. You don't want pepper spray to go off in your face, trust me, it does not feel good.So when deciding just make sure you use a little common sense. Pick a company that is trust worthy and that has seemingly good products. You want something with a good warranty and you want the best bang for your buck.
