What kind of store sells pepper spray or mace for personal use?
I usually run at the beach. Sometimes I just don’t have time to drive down there so, I need to just go out the front door. It’s not too bad of an area where I live but, when I run my mind goes elsewhere and I would like to feel more comfortable running close to home. Thank you everyone.

Out door stores have some stuff for bears, it works the same way. But I think you can buy it on line.
hunting supply stores, online stores, and ask a friendly cop.
Okay, first, NEVER run with pepper spray or Mace. Those two weapons are terrible for personal defense. If the wind blows the wrong way, you get a faceful of your own spray. They are difficult to get into position and aim in a short amount of time. If you DO happen to give a shot to an attacker, if they keep closing with you, you’ll get pepper spray on you. I was a military police officer in the Marines for 6 years and I never once used pepper spray. It hurts, it’s bad to use, and it’s ineffective.
Try a few other things. Even if your mind wanders, train yourself to keep half an eye out on your surroundings. Most people (not just women) get attacked because they’re not paying attention to their surroundings. It’s called an being a target of opportunity. Run during daylight hours and near places that have heavier foot traffic and big roads. Take a friend or a dog with you. Try not to wear headphones if possible. You’re wearing running shoes and you’re warmed up. If anything seems odd, trust your instincts and get away. YOu can run, since you’re already wearing the gear.
The most important thing is situational awareness. Keep in contact with what’s happening around you. If you do that, you’ll stay safe.
PLEASE don’t buy pepper spray.
