MD is very strict on weapons laws and the mace is a mace pepper gun I was wondering if I could carry them for self defensive purposes and what would happen if I was stopped and searched? I only plan to use them for self defense and when walking around my area at night cause of aggressive dogs, etc.
Honestly, some days I dont even feel safe walking around my own neighborhood. Dogs charge at me all of the time.
I need something that will deter them completely. Im not talking about a whistle used for training your dog to stop barking; I need something that can be used as self defense against a dangerous and attacking dog. I dont care if it harms the dog or causes serious damage (its my safety over theirs).
Pepper spray has been suggested, but im worried about not being able to aim with enough accuracy given that a dog can charge at me pretty fast. Do ultrasonic devices like the dazer 2 work for repelling aggressive dogs?
If military grade dog repellent exists, then thats what I want! What do police and postal service workers use?
By the way, dont bother suggesting therapy or revising my ethics towards the treatment of attacking dogs (if a dog attacks me, it is NOT innocent). I will not even consider these suggestions.
sure, I will just call animal control as im being mauled by a dog. No. You see by the time I discover a dog that is going to attack me, animal control or law enforcement cant respond fast enough. I need to defend myself.
Again, I dont care if the dog is aggressive by nature or by the way he was trained nor do I care about how he got off his leash in the first place. Once I am being attacked, its basic survival instincts, its kill or be killed (I dont necessarily need to kill the attacking dog, its just an expression)

Oh also, I dont like the idea of hitting the dog and relying on the force of the blow. In my experience swinging or even just carrying such a weapon can be perceived by the dog as being more threatening, making it more likely to attack.
I am getting into the habit of jogging in order to lose weight. The problem is a lot of people leave their dogs unleashed in my neighborhood. I know if I cease movement, they will cease chasing me, but this is not always the case. Today I almost got mauled, but I was carrying pepper spray and I used it to avert the canine’s attack successfully. This got me wondering about what other methods for self defense against dog attacks when I go for a jog?
I know there is the ultrasonic repellent. I know there is pepper and OC spray. I also know there is taser. What other methods are out there? Which one is the best or should it be a combination? What should I look for when I shop for dog repellent in order to get the best quality and what a good place to shop?
Also, what ones carry the least amount of legal restrictions in the US?
Rather not use a firearm. Shooting my neighbor’s dog is a sure way to get on their bad side. Plus I rather not hurt the dog chasing me, just have a means to defend myself if I have to with as little harm as possible.
I am not going around "abusing animals".
I go around minding my own business. It is sometimes necessary to defend my self. Hell, I had to do so today, so advice (not harassment) would be appreciated. Thank you.
Im living in a basement suite and the owners live on the top floor. There is a large backyard and they have a dog that roams around freely. Well in the last two months the dog has attacked us several times going into and out of our place( the door to get in is through the yard). I’m frightened of this dog and am actually growing a fear of all dog because of this one. If i buy a dog repellent spray and spray it in their yard (which is also mine to get into my place) and the dog somehow gets hurt would i be liable for anything that happens to it as I would be only using it for self defense. I feel like they are not providing a safe living environment for me. would be able to leave without a 30 day notice and still receive my deposit back?
I was considering ordering a stun gun or a pepper spray can online for ONLY self defense purposes and I was wondering if I would be arrested for carrying it outside and not in school. I would be carrying the item in my back pack I take with me outside only. Also I walk my dog and would conceal the item in my pocket. And could I be arrested for using it against someone in self defense?
I live in upland California

I understand Pepper spray or tear gas is to be used for self defense only. I further understand that it’s a crime to use this product for any other purpose.
If the dog comes after my dog that I’m walking would it be against the law to use pepper spray or mace/tear gas on that mean dog?
I’d like to be clear on this. I don’t want to be arrested. On the other hand, I don’t want a dog to jump on my dog either. How should I handle this.
My in-laws bought me some pepper spray/tear gas combination for my birthday. It’s supposed to be used by joggers and others to protect themselves.

Several of my neighbors have cats. These kitties have taken to digging around in my flower beds. My dog offers them no deterrent as she likes to "play" with them.
I’ve heard that pepper spray and even just sprinkled peppercorns can deter some animals. Is this a safe option? I’d rather not resort to chemicals or stand guard over my plants and asking neighbors to keep their cats under control is just silly. Are there better options?
I also have a neighbor dog that constantly escapes and knocks over the garbage cans in the alley. I was considering spraying the cans and the surrounding area with it too.
I’m not going to spray the ANIMALS! I’m going to spray the ground and plants! This isn’t the kind of pepper spray used for self-defense. Did you read my question. Obviously, I’m looking for a safe option.
The section they have been digging is full of daffodils. lol!
