In these times you cannot be too careful. Even with countless self-defense classes and months of time in the gym, you can never be fully prepared for an attacker. You should prepare yourself with a secret weapon in your hand. A supply of mace pepper spray at your fingertips can help you dispose of a potential attacker and criminal in a matter of seconds. No more will you be forced to go hand to hand with a possible maniac.
Mace sprays come in a variety of different shapes and forms with different features and functions depending on the situation you may be in. Of course there are your standard, stand alone mace spray units, some even having key chain holders. Then there is a mace pepper spray jogger unit that has a Velcro strap for fastening around your wrist or a belt clip to hold it. It is compact and is effective enough at around 8-12 feet to stop most people with one blast. Having such ready access to your mace can be the difference between life and death.
If you would like to be allowed more distance from your attacker, look into the mace guns. This is a little hand held gun that fires from pepper spray cartridges and is effective up to 25 feet away. It also features an LED laser pointer for targeting your assailant. The mace gun is ideal for elderly people or somebody who certainly is not strong enough to ward off an attacker. You can have it ready with your finger on the trigger in your pocket should you feel the need, and be able to fire at will.
For the more discreet person they make "undercover" mace products. These can look like simple lipstick dispensers and other make-up application tools. These can help if you are in a situation where a sudden movement could set-off a person into becoming a possible assailant. You will simply look like you are going to apply some lipstick, then use your mace to allow you enough time to escape the situation safely. The moral of the story is: Your personal safety is worth every penny. Please do not take shortcuts when it comes to your health and well-being. You might have seen the Seinfeld episode where Elaine wards off an attacker using her mouth spray. That may work and is a nice last resort, but do not gamble with yourself that way.
