Where Can I Buy Pepper Spray?
There are many places to buy pepper spray, but you won't find it at most of your local retail stores. You won't see "The Pepper Spray Store" at your local mall. Pepper spray, a non-lethal personal safety product, along with personal safety and protection, are things that most people don't want to talk about. No one thinks that she (or he) will be a victim.
But for those smart ones who want to be ready just in case, here are some places to buy pepper spray:
• Your local gun store/range-along with guns, ammo, targets, supplies, it probably will have a selection of sprays.
• Your local sporting goods store-if this store carries firearms and supplies, it probably will also carry pepper sprays. This is also good for hikers, backpackers, etc. who frequently may be alone in a remote area and need some form of protection.
• eBay-not a great selection, but a good start
• Online websites-look for those selling personal safety and security products, most will have many different types and sizes.
• Safety seminars-these may be through work or at the library for free. Often times the speaker has items to sell after the safety seminar. This is where I bought my first pepper spray.
• Flea markets & swap meets
Since there are so many sizes and types of pepper spray, you need to think about how and when you might need to use it. There are also pepper gels and pepper foam, having different types of coverages and spray ranges. Sprays range from 10% to 18% strength, and some have identifying dyes and tear gas included in the spray. Also, your state may have restrictions on the type and strength of the pepper spray, so make sure you check. Sizes range from ½ oz. and up. There are sprays that attach to your key chain, some that attach to your car visor, and larger ones to keep in a safe place at home. Whatever size spray you chose, make sure you try a practice spray in a safe place so you're ready if you ever need it.
