Does anyone carry mace/pepper spray?
Have you ever had occasion to use it? One of the attorneys I work with was robbed at gunpoint at 3:00 p.m. in an alley near our office which is a convenient shortcut to court. I told my husband, and he flew off the handle and forbade me to use the alley anymore (I'm only working on Fridays, but still...). He asked why I've never invested in mace or pepper spray to defend myself. Thoughts?

3. I have one in my glove box..................
will I ever use it? :shrug: I actually bought two, one to test the range and control, and one for protection.
BTW, I'm disabled and an easy target, that's why I carry one.

5. How about poor man's mace
Right Guard spray, with aluminum chlorhydrate, in the travel size!

Used to be popular back in the day when mace was illegal, for cops only!

9. CZ-70
An old policeman's pistol in all likelihood. Very little wear and tear. It's made like a Walther PP, so it's got a heck of a trigger drag.
