What makes a keychain spray carryable
The clip. A quick-release clip lets you pull the spray off the keys in one motion; a plain split ring does not. The hard shell keeps the trigger covered in a pocket. Range is 8 to 10 feet in a stream; capacity is about ten half-second bursts. Replace on the printed date.
Practise the draw
Buy two: one to carry and one to practise with outdoors, downwind. Draw from wherever you keep the keys, flip the safety, one short burst. Ten repetitions makes it a reflex.
Defensive sprays are restricted by canister size or formula in some states and cities and are not permitted in airline carry-on bags. This page is not legal advice; check your local rules before ordering.
