Barbara's Beat: Mace helps me feel safe at home and shopping #‎MaceBrandMoms

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with MACE and Crossroads Media Hub. However, all opinions expressed are my own.

We used to leave our homes and cars unlocked without worrying about someone stealing our property. We could send our kids outside to play without worrying about their safety. And, women could walk the streets alone without fear. Sadly, those days are gone.

Today everything I own is locked. If the kids are outside, someone has to watch them. And, I never walk the streets alone.

I spend a lot of time alone at home. A MACE Brand pepper spray gun is kept nearby for my peace of mind.

Being disabled leaves me feeling vulnerable and on alert. I'm usually walking with a cane or in a wheelchair.

MACE Brand Pepper Gun

When I go out with my mom or daughter I now carry another friend with me - MACE Brand. It's nice to know if someone comes up when we're in a parking lot, especially during the holidays, that I have it to protect us. Pepper spray allows us time to escape if the need arises.

Before the shopping season gets busy, you should check out MACE for yourself. It may make your shopping trip a little safer.

MACE is legal in 50 states. When you purchase it, get the one with a trainer so you can practice using it. The blue canister in my package shoots water. There's also a water canister with the gun to use for practice.
