Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.
I walk a lot and while years ago that most likely wouldn’t have been a problem in today’s world it could be a bit of a problem. Anything could happen so I have to be prepared which means making sure I have my cell phone with me and a can of Mace® Brand. I never really thought about it before but lately since I have comes to terms with the fact that I am more and more alone I want to protect myself as best I can.
Mace® Brand was wonderful enough to send me a can for review and I have NOT pepper sprayed anyone yet not that I didn’t ask my brother if he wanted to try it out for me.I received the Mace PepperGard which has their& signature Flip & Grip Pepper Spray and is available in 3 sizes. It has a chain so I can add it to my keychain if I want to. I actually keep it either in my pocket or in the top of the stroller (near my hand) when I am walking.I want it right where I can get it if I need to.
I am going to be honest and say if I ever actually had to pepper spray anyone I would be so nervous. I was walking alone a few months ago when I realized how much I needed something extra. This car drove passed me only to turn around and drive back by several times. Luckily I live in a small town and knew it was lunch time (and that he goes home everyday) for the police officer that lives down the road. When he came back by I flagged him down and told him about the car as it was passing me for fifth time. He pulled the guy over. Now I have Mace® Brand and will have the few seconds I may need to react and defend myself. Although I learned that pepper spray actually expires. My can says use by June 2017 so if I haven’t used it by that date then I will need to purchase more.
Mace® Brand has more than just pepper spray, although they do have a great assortment for every style and need. They have home security systems and so much more. I didn’t know that either but I do know that I will be making more purchases from them as I work towards helping make me and my family safer.
OMG! That car would freak me out too. It would be nice to have this spray for peace of mind but I hope you never have to use it. It’s so dangerous to walk around these days, even in broad daylight!
