Mace Triple Action Pepper Spray

How to choose the right defense spray

Do you plan to carry the pepper spray on your person? If so, consideration should be taken regarding the size of the unit you choose. Keychain pepper sprays are easily carried and accessible since you can have your keys in your hand to and from your vehicle or residence.

If you are planning on carrying a unit while you exercise (such as walking, jogging, bicycling) you might want to consider a pepper spray with a belt clip. These are easily accessible if surprised by an attacker while you are out and about.

For home or auto use, there are several larger pepper spray models that contain more chemical and can be available to you whether you are on a long road trip or your vehicle breaks down.

If you would rather carry pepper spray in a covert canister, the pepper pen or pepper pager are perfect disguises for hiding the defense spray in plain sight.

How to use your pepper spray

First of all, your pepper spray will be rendered useless without Awareness. Whatever you do, don't become complacent in your surroundings. Too often we have tunnel vision and do not pay attention to what is going on around us because we are in a hurry. Always keep your pepper spray close by but be aware of the criminal who is looking for an easy target. They will be surprised when they get a good dose of 'fire' in their face.

When approached by an attacker, place the pepper spray in your dominant hand. Keep your non-shooting hand stretched out in front of you to keep distance from the attacker. Aim and spray towards the attacker's face while moving backwards away from them. At the same time yell 'HELP' or 'RAPE' as loud as you can so that attention is immediately diverted to your situation. Continue spraying or be ready to spray until the attacker has stopped advancing. Then at the first chance get away from there as fast as you can. Contact the police immediately!

There are many reasons why police departments throughout the US use Mace Triple Action Spray to fight crime.

Reason 1: You don't have to aim for the assilant's eyes for the spray to work.

Mace Triple Action Spray contains CN tear gas. Tear gas can cause tearing, involuntary closure of the eyes, coughing, inflammation, mucous secretion, headache, dizziness, a tight feeling in the chest or excessive salivation. It takes from 5 to 30 seconds to be effective. Due to the nature of tear gas, even though you miss the assilant eyes, the effect will kick in as long as you spray it on the assilant's shoudler or above. This dramatically increases the target area and increases the chance of fighting off the assilant.

Reason 2: You have up to 20 minutes to run to a safe place.

Mace Triple Action Spray contains OC (Oleoresin Capsicum) which is a natural chemical extracted from chili peppers. It's the chemical that creates the hot sensantion. Pepper spray is the most distressing to experience. It must be sprayed in the eyes or inhaled directly to be effective. OC can cause the person's eyes to clamp shut, hard. It dilates the capillaries and causes temporary blindness. It can also cause instant inflammation of the breathing tissues, restricting all but life support breathing resulting in uncontrollable coughing. The effect of OC can take up to 20 minutes to wear off. That gives you plenty of time to run to a safe place and ask for help.

Reason 3: The assilant will be marked and identified by police.

Mace Triple Action Spray contains UV Dye. UV Dye marks the assilant for a week or more. This helps the police to catch and idenitfy the assailant.
