Pepper Spray Pepper Spray is a defensive product containing Oleoresin Capsicum (OC) as its active ingredient, with a propellent such as nitrogen. Oleoresin Capsicum is derived from concentrated hot red pepper extract. The actual heat producing particles in "OC" are called capsaicinoids. The actual degree of heat by which substances are measured are Scoville Heat Units (SHU).

Temperature for Pepper Spray and MACE must not exceed 125 degrees F or drop below 15 degrees F. Excessive heat or cold may cause the can to leak or burst.

Pepper spray does have an expiration date, typically it is 3 years from the date of purchase.

Like any pressurized aerosol device, Pepper Spray and MACE may not spray as far as expected, if at all. Since this is a personal defense product, we recommend replacing your spray after the expired date shown on your spray. This will insure that you are fully protected at all times.

No, you cannot carry either Pepper Spray or a Stun Gun on an airplane.

Definitely yes! Using Pepper Spray and MACE are as easy as spraying bug spray on ants or cockroaches. They are designed for instant action, and because they deliver a wide spray pattern, it eliminates the need to aim closely. They take effect upon contact immediately.

Though legal in all 50 States, a number of cities and states have specific regulations pertaining to the purchase, possession and use of Aerosol Defense Sprays. If you have a question you should contact your local Police Department. States or cities where Pepper Sprays are restricted or regulated:

• Hawaii
• Massachusetts
• Michigan
• New Jersey
• New York
• Washington D.C.
• Wisconsin

The above list is it intended to provide legal advice. Laws and regulations are subject to change. Before purchasing or using any "Less-Lethal" product, it is the responsibility of the purchaser to determine and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws in effect at that time. FAA and TSA regulations may be applicable to commercial airline travel.

Federal statutes and regulations may be applicable to

• Federal buildings
• Post offices
• Aand courthouses

Aerosol Defense Sprays are meant for defensive purposes only. Purchaser must be of legal age to purchase and possess the device.

• Remove contact lenses and contaminated clothing immediately. Contaminated clothing should be washes or dry-cleaned, as appropriate, prior to re-use to prevent skin injury.
• Flush contaminated area with large quantities of cool water or a diluted baking soda solution and expose the area to fresh air as soon as possible.
• Do not apply salves, creams, oils or lotions as they can trap the irritant agent against the skin and result in blisters or burns.
• Consult a physician if irritation presists.

• Pepper Spray is a very powerful, high quality OC Pepper Spray formula identical to the products used by law enforcement agencies. When dispensed as a stream will give a more accurate and condensed area, and will disperse upon impact.
• Foam combines 10% OC pepper spray and foam to produce a powerful defense during an attack. The thick foam covers an assailant's face, making it difficult to see.
• Gel is OC pepper in a formulation which is suspended in Gel instead of a liquid stream. This Gel formulation results in several advantages, longer distance, stronger pepper, sticks like glue, less contaminating, and non-flammable.
• Fogger: When dispensed as a fog, the pepper spray will cover a larger area. However it can be affected by strong wind.

Now pick the one that's the most comfortable for you. Don't delay! Pepper Spray Etc. Store has them all available.

Pepper sprays are not made to be refilled. After use they should be properly disposed of.

The correct way to dispose pepper spray is to empty the can in a well ventilated area. Then throw away the can like any other aerosol can.

A TASER C2 is a personal safety device that is intended to stop threats up to 15 feet away. It works by launching out two probes from a disposable TASER cartridge. The probes deliver a scientifically designed electric signal that makes muscles lock up, therefore temporarily incapacitating an attacker for 30-seconds, so you can get out of harm’s way and call 911.

A Stun Gun is a hand-held battery-operated electrical self-defense tool. It can put out an electrical shock of 45,000 to 1,000,000 volts, depending on the model. When touched to the body of an assailant, the electrical shock causes the person to lose control of their voluntary muscles and fall to the ground in a dazed or unconscious condition, allowing you enough time to get away.

Carrying a TaserC2 is restricted in:

• DC
• Hawaii
• Massachusets
• Michigan
• New Jersey
• New York
• Rhode Island
• Wisconsin

Limited Restrictions in other States.

No, Taser devices are not considered firearms by the ATF.

The TaserC2 utilized the same technology but in a smaller, easier-to-use size.

After purchasing, it is required to register the device and pass a felony background check. This can be done over the phone. There is a one time charge of $9.95.

Taser devices are not permitted in carry-on baggage, but may be included in checked baggage.

Because TASER® technology does not depend upon body penetration to achieve the desired effect. Its pulsating electrical output interferes with communication between the brain and the muscular system. This results in loss of control. However, TASER devices are nondestructive to nerves, muscles and other body elements. More most of all, the TASER® is a non-lethal self defense weapon that allows you enough time to escape from your assailant.

A person hit with an TASER® GUN will feel dazed for several minutes. The pulsating electrical output causes involuntary muscle contractions and the result is a sense of vertigo. It can momentarily stun or render an attacker unconscious. Yet, the low electrical amperage and short duration of pulsating current, ensures a non-lethal charge.

Also, it does not cause permanent damage or long-term aftereffects to muscles, nerves or other body functions. Studies show TASER® technology leaves no long term injuries compared with gun shot injuries.

Don't worry, the TASER® can be used in a touch-stun mode. So the user is provided with a final backup if the probes miss the target. Should the user miss or there is a second attacker, he can touch the unit directly to the target and it will work like a powerful touch-stun device.

That's a very good question. The answer is no.

The TASER® stun gun current of 0.3 joules is well below the 10-50 joule threshold above which cardiac ventricular fibrillation can occur. TASER device output is well below the level established as "safe" by the federal government. Dr. Robert Stratbucker of the University of Nebraska Medical Center conducted a medical study of TASER® devices and confirmed that the T-Wave does not interrupt the heartbeat or damage a pacemaker. Any modern pacemaker is designed to withstand electrical defibrillator pulses that are hundreds of times stronger than TASER® output.

The test switch on the TeleSpy powers the green LED light near it. It tells the operator instantly when the motion sensor detects something (light comes on). The light stays during a timed period (the listening period) then the phone would disconnect (light off), now, light is off and TeleSpy is instantly re-armed for the next detection.

Knowing how to use this function allows the operator to discover the exact perameter and sensitivity of the motion sensor within their personal environment.

Operational tip:

Unplug the phone line. Now the TeleSpy will show LED light "on" for detection and light "off" for disconnect and reset without calling. Always remember that the first time you turn the TeleSpy power "on" it takes 60 seconds to arm but the LED will turn off at 30 seconds. You must wait 30 seconds after the light has gone off before the TeleSpy is armed (only the first time.) Thereafter, when the light goes off, the TeleSpy is instantly armed.

TheTeleSpy™ is an ideal solution for the smaller homes and apartments. It will be desirable to lower and middle income dwellings, including rented apartments, because they will be seeking affordable security and higher income users find it a valuable supplement to their existing systems.

About 30% of TeleSpys™ sold will be going into small businesses, garages or shops.

First, be grateful you're not there but are listening from a remote location. Never attempt to apprehend criminals This could be very dangerous! If professional assistance is required, call 911 or your local law enforcement emergency phone number.

Simple, think like an intruder. If an intruder entered, where would he come from (34% come through the front door), where would he go? What's he want? Predicting this movement should dictate the TeleSpy's position in the room.

Use your common sense. First, place TeleSpy in the best place, lastly run the cords. Use extension cords if necessary.

Pets and motion sensors can live together. If you use the motion sensor with the pet in close proximity it probably will set off the sensor. Use the test light on TeleSpy™ to discover for yourself the sensitivity of your pet(s), then devise a strategy which allows the TeleSpy™ to function without pet interference. You may find that pointing it in a specific direction or slightly raising the unit solves the problem.

Sensitivity is factory set to trigger on about a 40 pound (5 years old) child or animal.

Connecticut Criminal Law Title 53 Crimes, Title 53a Penal Code, title 54 Criminal Procedure, Chapter 950 Section 53a-3 Definitions:

(20) "Electronic defense weapon" means a weapon which by electronic impulse or current is capable of immobilizing a person temporarily, but is not capable of inflicting death or serious injury. §53-206. Carrying and sale of dangerous weapons Any person who carries upon his person, an electronic defense weapon, as defined in 53a-3, or any other dangerous or deadly weapon or instrument, unless such person has been granted a written permit issued and signed by the first selectman of a town, the mayor or chief of police of a city or the warden of a borough, authoring such person to carry such weapon or instrument within such city or borough, shall be fined not more than five hundred dollars or imprisoned not more than three years or both.

No permit shall be issued to any applicant who has ever been convicted of a felony. The issuing authority may request the applicant's finger prints and full information concerning his criminal record and make an investigation concerning his criminal record and make an investigation concerning the suitability of the applicant to carry any such weapon. Refusal of fingerprinting by the applicant shall be sufficient cause to refuse issuance of a permit. Whenever any person is found guilty of a violation of this subsection, any weapon or other implement within the provisions hereof, found upon the body of such person, shall be forfeited to the municipality wherein such person was apprehended, not withstanding any failure of the judgment of conviction to expressly impose such forfeiture.

Any person who has been granted a permit to carry any martial arts weapon pursuant to this section may carry such weapon anywhere within the state. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any officer charged with the preservation of the public peace nor to any person who is found with any such weapon or implement concealed upon his person while lawfully removing his household goods or effects from one place to another, or from one residence to another, nor to any person while actually and peaceably engaged in carrying any such weapon or implement from his place of abode or business to a place or person where or by whom such weapon or implements is to be repaired, or while actually and peaceable returning to his place of abode or business with such weapon or implement after the same has been repaired.

(b) Any person who sells to another electronic defense weapon, as defined in section 53a-3, shall, within 24 hours after the deliver of such weapon or implement to the person to whom sold, give written notice of such sale or delivery, specifying the article sold and the name and address of the person to whom sold or delivered, to the chief of police of the city, the warden of the borough or the first selectman of the town, within which such weapon or implement is sold or delivered, as the case may be. Any person who violates any provision of this subsection shall be fined not more than one hundred dollars.

SUMMARY: Section 53-206(a) prohibits the carrying of a Stunning Device on the person unless that person has obtained a dangerous weapons permit. However, there are no state-wide permits, only local permits ? the permit is only good in that particular town and would be illegal elsewhere. Anyone selling such a weapon must notify the chief of police with that information within 24 hours of the delivery. Therefore Stunning Devices can be sold and it can be kept in your place of business or home, but you cannot carry it on your person without a permit which is only good within the limits of the city in which it was issued.

Senate, No. 2871 -- L.1985, c. 360

Senate Bill No. 2781, as amended by the Senate Law, Public Safety and Defense Committee, prohibits as a crime of the fourth degree the possession of a stun gun by any person, including a law enforcement officer. A crime of the fourth degree carries a penalty of imprisonment for up to 18 months, a fine of up to $7,500, or both. Prior to being amended the bill classified possession of a crime in the third degree. {Editor’s Note: According to Len Lawson of NJ Legislative Council, (609) 292-4625) NJ does not classify crimes in felonies versus misdemeanors. The highest crimes are in first degree on down to fourth degree. A fourth degree penalty is a serious charge and is generally considered a misdemeanor in common terms. It is however an indictable offense. A fourth degree crime does contain "a presumption of non-custodial sentencing," meaning that there is not imprisonment if there are no prior convictions. In some cases the sentencing is obviated from one’s record if there is a period of good behavior following the charge.}

The committee amended the bill to include a provision authorizing the Attorney General, at his discretion, to exempt law enforcement officers from the prohibition against possession stun guns.

The bill also was amended by the committee to include stun guns in the definition of "weapon" in paragraph r. N.J.S. 2C:39-1.

(Chapter 2C:39-1)

(h) Stun guns. Any person who knowingly has in his possession any stun gun is guilty of a crime in the fourth degree.

PHILADELPHIA: Illegal

Philadelphia City Ordinance. Statute 10-825 Stun Guns. (1) Definitions. (a) Stun Gun. Any device which expels or projects a projectile which, upon coming in contact with a person, is capable of inflicting injury or an electric shock to such person. (2) Prohibited conduct. Nor person shall own, use, possess, sell or otherwise transfer any "stun gun." (3) Penalty. Any person violating any provision of this section shall be subject to a fine or not more than three hundred (300) dollars and /or imprisonment for not more than ninety (90 days.)

Stun guns will have 5-8 milliamps depending on the strength of the battery.

Upon firing, compressed nitrogen projects two ADVANCED TASER probes 15 feet at a speed of 135 feet per second. An electrical signal transmits throughout the region where the probes make contact with the body or clothing. The result is an instant loss of the attacker's neuromuscular control and any ability to perform coordinated action. ADVANCED TASER uses an automatic timing mechanism to apply the electric charge. The ADVANCED TASER releases an electric current in a pre-set time sequence (an initial seven seconds followed by several 1.8 second breaks for a total time of about 30 seconds in each cycle). This cycle ensures that the nervous system of the target does not recover instantly to allow him to remove the probes. The follow-on bursts disrupt the process of re-equilibration of the nervous system. While the target is disabled, the user can place the device on the ground and escape.

The ADVANCED TASER does not depend upon impact or body penetration to achieve its effect. Its pulsating electrical output interferes with communication between the brain and the muscular system, resulting in loss of control. However, the ADVANCED TASER is non-destructive to nerves, muscles and other body elements. It simply affects them in their natural mode. More importantly, no deaths have ever been directly attributed to the TASER .

Anesthesiologist and specialist in medical electronics, Dr. Frank Summers, MD of St. Joseph's Hospital, Orange, California, directed tests of volunteers at St. Joseph's in 1971 and 1974. Dr. Summers stated, "...We undertook this [volunteer test] in the operating rooms at St. Joseph's Hospital. We had an assembly of cardiovascular surgeons, cardiologists... we had a real [TASER]. We tested extensively and made movies. The tests were impressive. We monitored all parameters of physiology, including electrocardiographs. The tests did not produce any lethal effects and we found that the background work that had been done did indeed pan out in practice."

The ADVANCED TASER's output is well below the level established as "safe" by the federal government in approving such devices as the electrified cattle fence. In a medical study of the Model XR 5000Ô electronic stun gun, Dr. Robert Stratbucker of the University of Nebraska Medical Center confirmed that the T-Wave does not interrupt the heartbeat or damage a pacemaker. Any modern pacemaker is designed to withstand electrical defibrillator pulses that are hundreds of times stronger than the ADVANCED TASER's output. The ADVANCED TASER current of 0.3 joules is well below the 10-50 joule threshold above which cardiac ventricular fibrillation can occur.

High voltage, in itself, is not dangerous. One can receive a 25,000-volt shock of static electricity from a doorknob on a dry day without harm. The physiological effect of electrical shock is determined by: the current, its duration, and the power source that produces the shock. The typical household current of 110 volts is dangerous because it can pump many amperes of current throughout the body indefinitely. By contrast, the ADVANCED TASER power supply consists of an alkaline 9-Volt battery that is capable of supplying less than three watts of electrical power for a few minutes.

No. The output is metered by the electronics and the electrical energy in each pulse is always the same, regardless of the target condition. The electrical output will not be transferred from one person to another even if they touch. ADVANCED TASER, Inc.'s president has been stunned by an ADVANCED TASER while standing in water to emphasize this point.

A person hit with an ADVANCED TASER will feel dazed for several minutes. The pulsating electrical output causes involuntary muscle contractions and a resulting sense of vertigo. It can momentarily stun or render an attacker unconscious. Yet, the ADVANCED TASER's low electrical amperage and short duration of pulsating current, ensures a non-lethal charge. Moreover, it does not cause permanent damage or long-term aftereffects to muscles, nerves or other body functions. A January 1987 Annals of Emergency Medicine study reported TASER technology leaves no long term injuries compared with 50% long term injuries for gun shot injuries.

No. The electrical current will "jump" up to two inches as long as both probes are attached to clothing or skin. At most, only the 3/8-inch needlepoint will penetrate the skin. They have less energy than a spring propelled BB.

The ADVANCED TASER can be used in a touch-stun mode. The user is thus provided with a final backup if the probes miss the target. Should the user miss or engage a second attacker, he can touch the unit directly to the target and it will work like a powerful touch-stun device.

As long as the spread of the probes is at least six inches, the ADVANCED TASER will be extremely effective. To ensure that the spread is greater than six inches, the ADVANCED TASER should be fired at a target several feet away. The optimum shot is from seven to ten feet away form the target to achieve maximum effect. At seven to ten feet away - the spread of the probes will be approximately 16 inches, ensuring that the target receives the most efficient T-Wave flow.

No. The ADVANCED TASER utilizes compressed nitrogen (an inert gas). The ADVANCED TASER compressed air capsules have successfully held their charges at temperatures of minus 20º F and up to 160º F. Moreover, altitude will not adversely effect the firing of an ADVANCED TASER. In addition, the temperature will not effect the T-Wave. However, as with any product containing polycarbonates and other thermoplastics, the ADVANCED TASER and Air Cartridges should never be left in direct sunlight.

A background check is needed for the M26C and the X26C models of Tasers we sell. This needs to be done by you before selling a Taser of this type. You can do the background check two ways. One of the toll free number 888-Taser-88 or the website www.taser.com/gog.

Bear and dog spray can be sent to every state except MA as they require an FOID card to purchase those sprays.

The C2 holsters will only work on a normal civilian style belt. All X26C and M26C model holsters will work on a duty belt.
