Do we have a favorite mace for urban settings?

Maybe a dumb question, but is that available on the civilian market? Thanks.

Good question didnt think of that ha. I believe so.... but not 100% sure on that.

I got sprayed in the eyes with mace in the middle of a brawl that involved at least 20 people. Not sure who sprayed me or what kind it was but it definitely partially incapacitates for a short time, enough time to give a victim a chance to get away.

I would go with something that would be easy for her to carry and use.

I got my wife a gel mace spray for her purse and office. I hope she never uses it.
Also wasp spray will work on animals.

The thought behind the gel mace is that it won't be as affected by wind.

Classic wood or metal, depending upon what you’re comfortable with.

I only clicked on this thread to make sure somebody had posted this already.

Any idea if the gel any better than the regular? Thanks.

I don't have any experience with the gel, sorry. At work we have only ever used the sprays.

Anyone carrying mace, oc, pepper spray or bear spray should definitely experience it before commiting to it as a plan of defence. I've seen enough people reduced to crawling around barely functioning just due to contamination. If you don't know if that might be you or that you can fight through it and get to safety it is an added risk.

The melee weapon also requires a bit of training and I can see it resulting in legal fees and a hard defense to show no premeditation. A quarter staff or good ash walking stick draws less close scrutiny.

This is why the 80's were safer. All the creeps knew chic's carried a can of Aqua Net and a Bic lighter in their pack of darts on their fanny pack.
