What is the difference between mace and pepper spray?

Mace is also known as Tear Gas. It’s not very effective and people can train themselves to fight through the effects. Also there is some concern about the toxicity of the chemicals the comprise Mace. That’s why Pepper spray was introduced. The active ingredient is OC which is derived from hot peppers.

Tear gas is an irritant, pepper spray is an inflammatory agent. What this means is that the passages of the eyes, nose and mouth start to close. They don’t close all the way, so your attacker doesn’t die. They are, however, preoccupied with the burning and fear that they are going to stop breathing; so that means they aren’t wondering how to rob, rape and/or murder you.

As for where to get some, you can try. First you’ll want to see if it’s legal to get where you live, you can find that at: . If it’s legal for you feel free to choose from our wide selection. I’d recommend the Wildfire pepper spray, if it’s legal where you live for the most bang for your buck. Hope this helps.
