Frequently Asked Questions
How far does the Mace Peppergard Pocket Model spray?
The Peppergard Pocket Model is designed for close-range defense, typically effective at distances of 6 to 10 feet. The aerosol stream pattern helps direct the OC formula accurately toward a threat while minimizing blowback to the user.
Can this pepper spray be used against animals like dogs or bears?
Yes — the Mace Peppergard is effective against aggressive animals including dogs. However, for bear encounters, a dedicated bear spray with a higher OC concentration and greater spray range is strongly recommended. This model is best suited for dog threats or human assailants at close range.
Does California have any restrictions on carrying this pepper spray?
In California, pepper spray canisters of 2.5 ounces or less are legal for adults 18 and older to purchase and carry for self-defense. The 12-gram Peppergard Pocket Model falls well within this legal limit. Persons with certain prior convictions may be prohibited from possessing pepper spray — consult local laws if you have any concerns.
