[quote name='dracula'][quote name='SteveMcQ']It's the post-Thanksgiving shopping madness that ensues from lots of good deals from stores that are usually on a limited-time only basis. Bring your riot gear. It's a mess.[/quote]
forget the riot gear, that will just slow you down, just have some pepper spray on your keychain, too bad mace is illegal.[/quote]
Just FYI "mace" is a brand name for concentrated aersosal tear gas. "Mace" is also only illegal in a very few states. However, mace has very little affect on many drugged states (especially PCP).. because of this, police departments went to pepper spray (actually aerosal oleoresin capsicum, a derivative of cayenne peppers). When police departments started exclusively using pepper spray, the civilian market basically followed through.
A quick note, if you're purchasing pepper spray for personal defence, don't buy the stuff available at your local Walmart or wherenot. Civlian pepper spray is 10% or lower concentrate. If you locate a police supply store (they're in every major metropolitan area).. you can buy law enforcement strength, 15% - 25%. Noone is going to stand up a shot of 25% spray.
