I just looked and you CAN purchase mace in Massachusetts it appears to be legal in R.I. also if over 18yo without needing an FID. Get some mace avoid some potential liability.

Was going to say the exact same thing.

That being said, if it was home invasion and that was the last line of defense I wouldn't hesitate for a second.

I totally agree with that, if there's no other choice use it. Might be a good idea to keep some work gloves and pruning shears to possibly explain why you had it in your vehicle so it doesn't appear as you planned to use it for defense.

I'm not sure about Mass but RI is a "castle law" state which means that if you feel you or your family's well being is in danger on your property, you can use any means possible to protect and defend yourself. That would include my .45 ACP Glock and a can of wasp spray.....take your pick.

No boat, back in the suds.
