I can't find the citation for my information on it, but if I remember correctly, Mace requires training and a license to carry in CA.
....But, Pepper Spray doesn't; and its FAR more effective anyway...
I can't find anything in CA Law that references Mace except GC 58001 and that's not what I was looking for. I wonder if the law was actually repealed.
PC 12403.5
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a person holding a license as a private
investigator or private patrol operator issued pursuant to Chapter 11 (commencing with
Section 7500), Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code, or uniformed patrolmen
employees of a private patrol operator, may purchase, possess, or transport any tear gas
weapon, if it is used solely for defensive purposes in the course of the activity for which the
license was issued and if the person has satisfactorily completed a course of instruction
approved by the Department of Consumer Affairs in the use of tear gas.

When I fly to MO every year, I carry2 golf balls and a pair of socks in my carry on bag...along with a cane.
A nice glass paperweight works well in a sock.

No license for Mace/Pepper spray, but there is a per container limit for civies. Either way the stuff might fix a bad attitude (or make it worse), but it is worthless against a dedicated attack. Same for 99% of tasers.

A weighted sock is a billy club.
I'd rip an arm off a seat if I had to!It is only a billy if the ball isin the sock.I was replying to a post from a guy who said he carries a couple of golf balls and a sock on board aircraft, implying that he had an improvised weapon. I was saying a glass paperweight would work better.
If a terrorist/lunatic were to attempt to take overa plane, I highly doubt that anyone would be pressing charges onanyone who drops a paperweight into a sock and then uses that "billy" tobeat the terrorist unconscious.
Quite right on the ball needing to be in the sock. I mis-read it. I thought he was saying that the golf balls were in the sock rather than with the sock.inbox485 wrote:Decoligny wrote:

I'd bare fist it if I had to, but the way attitudes towards hijackers has changed since 9/11, I doubt he'd be alive by the time I got to him unless I was right next to him to begin with.Decoligny wrote:I'd rip an arm off a seat if I had to!It is only a billy if the ball isin the sock.I was replying to a post from a guy who said he carries a couple of golf balls and a sock on board aircraft, implying that he had an improvised weapon.

How sly! Copy/paste word-for-word another person's post (credit to LeadLobber, page 1 of this thread), and then tack on your little URL advertisement on the end.California pretty much prohibits persons defending themselves. I can also say that weapons like this are generally outlawed. You can't order one of those, or a sword cane, for example. Gold Knuckles? Forget it. Move to Venus - weapons for self-protection are allowed there, and at other ports in the universe, if you can swing the import tax.
