Is The Mace Pepper Gun The Best Overall Self Defense Product?
Posted By admin
Blood everywhere in Chicago, and the city of brotherly love wants to hold the Olympics. The Olympics, the ultimate show of world-wide unity is considering plopping down in Murderville, USA on it’s next stop.
If you have been living under a rock, there has been a lot of violence pouring out of Chicago with a boy being killed on film earlier this week, and another beaten so bad by 3 men he is in a coma.
While you can walk around with a gun exposed in a holster in certain states, they don’t like that in Chicago, so you are at the mercy of waiting for the police to come protect you (NOT), or take matters into your own hands and carry some non-lethal weapons when they make it impossible to carry a lethal weapon.
Then I wake up with my blueberry waffles and coffee and see that Chicago’s hand gun ban is being considered by the Supreme Court next year and I say to myself, Sparky, WTF, didn’t they settle this already and we moved on to bigger & better things like Cash for Clunkers? Which we will offer after this post…
Anyway, if they are banning guns in Chicago, and the murder rates are spiking through the roof, then it’s time to take matters into my own hands.
So I pulled out my Mace Pepper Gun, which looks like a small flare gun. It’s easy to put in a purse or pocket, or carry in a holster. It shoots the 10% Hot, Hot, HOT Mace pepper spray up to 25 feet, and there ain’t nothing besides a gun or some pepper balls that will shoot further.
The TASER C2 only is good for 12-15 feet, then the wires drift too far apart to be accurate. 25 feet is a long way, and you can shoot it 7 x, so even if 3-5 punks are running at you, you can still take them all out with one cartridge.
You can also pick-up additional cartridges in both pepper spray, or practice with a inert cartridge that has no pepper spray, just the propellent so simulate how far it shoots.
If you live in Chicago, I would not travel alone, nor without a Mace Pepper gun, a TASER C2, a Kuboton, and a telescopic steel baton.
Come get me sucka!

Non-lethal self-defense has always been important to me, for self and loved ones. It’s ludicrous that police are so often ‘forced’ to use ‘non-lethal’ methods while the public has virtually no other options but ‘deadly force’. And once used, well, we all know what a legal nightmare that sets into motion. “We” should have the rubber bullets and “they” should have the live ammo, don’t you think?
As a younger guy I used to carry a weapon, got my concealed carry permit when Virginia came out of the dark ages, but now…? Back to the same moral dilemma of wanting to defend myself (and others) if necessary but truly mortified at the thought that there’s no options other than to kill the other person. (Besides, it’s the stupid, rude, obnoxious people that make me fantasize about using a gun far more than ‘criminals’.) So I simply gave up on carrying handguns.
I bought one of these Mace Pepper Guns a couple of years ago to keep here in the house. My wife and younger daughter also took a couple of practice shots with and yes, we were all very impressed indeed. It’s never been used in a ‘real situation’ and I hope it remains that way.
But stumbling across it here? I think it’s time to buy another (maybe 2) to keep in the vehicles and carry with us.
Great website, by the way, and really informative, well-written articles.
