Does Pepper Spray Ever Go Bad?

Does the pepper spray go bad or lose its effect as it gets older?

I am purchasing these for friends and I will giving them the sprays through out the year for their birthdays, some are not until December.

Should I buy pepper spray now or wait?

Thanks,
Denise A.

Looks like a Cell Phone, stings like... a Stun Gun

Cellphone surprises, stun gun delivers.


We wrote before how stun guns work from the science point of view. We also discussed how to use psychological impact of a stun gun in your favor. In brief: some stunguns are large, loud and intimidating, some even take a form of other weapons, like the Blast Knuckles, but some are deceivingly tiny and pretend to be harmless objects by design.

What strategy is best: to scare the approaching attacker away or catch the unfortunate assailant by surprise?

What do you do when your pepper spray or mace expires?

Every canister of pepper spray or mace expires one day. Do you know what to do next?


Yes, this happens to every owner of a pepper spray can. One day you looked at the expiration date on your trusted old can of Mace or Pepper spray and saw that the expiration date has already passed. Do you think throwing it in a trash bin is the best thing to do? -- Think again...

What is PC surveillance?

What does PC surveillance stand for?
What does it do?

Simply put, PC surveillance allows you to see real time what's going inside your house, in the kids bedroom, or even in your fish tank. You can see it on computer in the office, on your laptop in the library, or your iPhone everywhere.



The remote camera, sometimes a hidden camera, is connected to a computer and everything else happens "automagically".
Sounds techy?
Well, that's why we ask experts to do it.
We'd like to introduce these experts to you, so feel free to send them all your technical questions:

Pepper Spray and Mace in Massachusetts: new hope.

Only 2 states in the nation do not allow mail order sales of pepper spray or mace spray: Massachusetts and New York.
It means that although defensive sprays are legal in Massachusetts and New York they may not be bought on-line, we may not ship Pepper spray or Mace to Massachusetts and New York.
Massachusetts went even further than New York in regards to defensive sprays: Massachusetts requires a special class Firearm ID to carry pepper spray in your purse. No kidding!..

Now all of a sudden, some Massachusetts legislators are talking about lifting this restriction on pepper spray and mace. If you live in Massachusetts -- read on:

What to buy: pepper spray or stun gun?

"Hello support,
I just bought Mace sprays and stun guns from you... I did not realize that one has to touch the attacker with stun gun to incapacitate him. Since I have Mace now I decided I don't need stun guns anymore..."
- S.T.

S.T., you are correct: to incapacitate an assailant with a stun gun you need to touch the person.

Although this makes it inconvenient to attack someone with a stun gun but it makes it perfect as a self-defense tool.

Here is the truth about self-defense situations:

Pepper Blaster GuardianAngel Review

I own 3 of theese.

Tested one Pepper Blaster and it was very easy to hit the target.
I got some of the OC spray on my skin and it caused a burn that lasted about 24 hours.
This product is 10% OC 2.4% Major Capsaicinoids (Bear Spray is 2.0% OC) with 399,000 at the nozzle heat derived from raw food grade [peppers] OC with 4 Million Scoville heat units.

I hope I never have to use this but if I do I know the Pepper Blaster will work.

Pepper Spray Shooter or Pepper Blaster or just Mace Gun?

We have a problem and we will need your help.
Here is what's going on: as you probably know in the last couple of years they developed a number of new good self-defense products that do not exactly "spray" their pepper.
Some shoot their pepper spray or pepper gel load with their own pyrotechnic drive, like the Guardian Angel.
Some, like Mace Gun or Dragon Fire instantly develop very high pressure in the chamber and make a long forceful stream of the pepper solution toward the target. There are others that shoot paint balls or darts filled with pepper spray. This is all wonderful but how should we call all these devices? What do they do?

A message from a NY customer

I used to be married to an abuser who left me with a leg broken in numerous places and 6 children to take care of.

I am college educated and worked for The American Red Cross until my broken leg.
I gathered the courage to move myself and children to another city, and the problems ended.
HOWEVER- we had to start over in an apartment with a neighbor who has harassed me constantly in a sexual manner, and I am afraid again.

I wonder if I were a NYC lawmaker's DAUGHTER or SISTER, would they finally protect me and others that are dealing with this?

-- Julie V.

Will Kimber Pepper Spray be redone? Or re-priced?

The most popular, most elegant and most forceful line of pepper sprays known as Kimber Lifeact could have a makeover experience in the nearest future.





As you might know, Kimber pepper sprays of Lifeact line are sold as Guardian Angel and JPX Jet Protector.
We all love the Guardian Angel pepper spray due to its power, speed, and clean modern design. It is not your ordinary spray, instead it shoots the OC (liquid pepper) solution with enormous (90mph) speed.
We've got information that Kimber, the company that distribute this Swiss product in the US, plans to improve upon this already hugely successful product. Who knows what is it going to be? It could be something trivial like new colors or new packaging, or something disastrous, like a new name for this popular product. Or maybe in the days of $4.50 gasoline it's just a price increase. Whatever it's going to be: We know you are listening, Kimber: we LOVE you pepper spray products, keep changes to the minimum, don't mess with your own HUGE success.

You can buy Kimber Guardian Angel here.
