Our Mission is Your Safety

Michigan has been one of the states identified as not allowing its residents to carry a personal safety spray such as pepper spray or tear gas. That has all changed now with a series of Mace brand safety sprays in a Michigan approved formula. Michigan residents can now choose to carry safety spray for their personal protection just as most of the rest of the nation has been able to.

Mace Pepper Spray

Mace Michigan Formula Pepper Gard is a powerful, double-action security spray that combines the knock-down power of pepper spray with a UV dye that will allow police to quickly and easily identify any assailant it is used on. Using safety sprays that contain the UV dye are extremely helpful in allowing law enforcement to identify and capture aggressive, dangerous, or confrontational people.

Mace Double Action Tear Gas

The other option in personal security spray approved for Michigan residents is the Mace Double Action Tear Gas. It also contains the helpful UV dye for marking your aggressor, but in this product it is combined with the crippling power of chemical tear gas. Before Mace began developing a wide range of security sprays, chemical tear gas was simply known as mace.

The difference between mace and pepper spray is in the active ingredient. Pepper spray is a natural type of security spray, made from the liquid extracts of hot peppers. Somewhat oily in nature, pepper spray does not easily wash off, but its effects will eventually disappear as the product slowly evaporates.

Mace is a chemical tearing agent contained in a volatile carrier base that causes intense burning of the eyes as well as skin irritation. The active chemical in mace security spray is particulate, meaning the carrier contains bits of the chemical. These cling to the face of the attacker, and the chemical does not evaporate. It must be washed completely from the skin or else rubbing the area can re-activate the effects.

Either of these security sprays are effective deterrents that now offer a means of personal protection from attackers for the residents of Michigan.

One of the most effective personal protection devices available is a security spray, such as pepper spray or Mace. Security spray is compact, easy to carry, easy to conceal, and legal to possess almost everywhere. When packed properly, you can even fly with a safety spray provided it is in your checked luggage.

If you need to use your safety spray against an attacker, the results should bring him to his knees fairly quickly. Once you apply the security spray to the attacker’s face, his eyes should slam shut. They will feel like they are on fire. Any exposed skin that has been sprayed will begin to burn and may turn red, and the airborne particles will make your attacker hack and cough. Do not worry, though – none of the effects of any personal security spray are permanent. They will subside, but only after you have made a hasty retreat.

Clever Ways to Carry Your Security Spray

The most important thing to remember with a security spray is to actually carry it with you. Safety spray cannot help you if you leave it at home.

Security sprays are packaged in compact canisters designed for discretion, yet big enough to pack a punch. The smallest canisters of safety spray are designed to attach to a keychain. Larger ones can be clipped on your waistband and hidden beneath a shirt or jacket. These insure you have your safety spray close at hand at all times.

More ingenious ways to carry security spray is with one of the devices disguised as an everyday object, such as the PepperPAGER. It contains two canisters of pepper spray which deploy simultaneously, giving your attacker a double dose of disabling safety spray.

A clever way for women to carry security spray is the compact Lipstick Pepper Spray. Disguised as a common tube of lipstick, this little device allows you to blast your attacker from as much as 10 feet away.

For the fitness-minded, the Hot Walkers are one-pound weights that each conceals a canister of powerful 10 percent pepper spray.

There are many convenient ways to carry personal safety spray in a variety of innocent-looking packages, yet these small but powerful devices will allow you to leave your attacker in tears while you escape.
