One in every six women is sexually assaulted in her lifetime--that's
17% of the female population. According to the CDC, in this past year
alone, 300,000 women reported having been raped, and it is estimated
that those reports represent less than 40% of actual rapes. The bottom
line is: You need to protect yourself. Mace pepper sprays are
excellent means of self-defense.
Mace brand pepper sprays come in a variety of concentrations and
sizes. All Mace pepper sprays contain a particular concentration of
OC, an element of cayenne pepper reduced to oleoresin capsicum, which
inflames the mucous membranes upon contact, causing temporary
blindness and labored breathing. It is not lethal, but can be a highly
effective deterrent to attackers for 15 to 60 minutes. Some Mace brand
pepper sprays contain irritants, such as tear gas, in addition to OC.
Irritants may not be as effective as OC at causing temporary injury to
those under the influence of drugs or alcohol, but are still extremely
powerful. Other Mace brand sprays also contain a UV marking dye that
will appear on your assailant's clothing or vehicle and can be useful
in apprehending him or her later. Along with common sense, Mace is an
invaluable addition to your personal protection plan.
The best way to use your Mace pepper spray in a situation is
carefully. Hopefully, you will never need to use it, but if you feel
threatened, you should keep these things in mind:
You are certain that your life is being THREATENED
"Spray and Move"--as soon as you spray your attacker, MOVE away
Always stand UPWIND from your Mace spray
Remember to call 9-1-1 and/or the police to report the assault or
attempted assault--reporting crime can save lives, including your own.
It is illegal to use Mace sprays as a prank or to intentionally harm
someone who is not hurting you. Some states have restrictions on Mace
sprays and OC pepper sprays, so you should always check with your
local law enforcement agency before purchasing any Mace
