I carry mace but I also carry a gun and have for several years. I am comfortable with the gun, I am proficient with the gun and I am not afraid of it as long as I remain in control of it. I have never had a reason to present it but I would do so without hesitation if the need did arise. I hope it never does.

As far as mace, don't mess around with the posers. Get some Fox mace and be done with it.
