Question
A criminal justice professor told me that mace does not work on everyone. It is very rare but it can happen. Is this true that someone could not be affected?
you can post this question
Thanks
Hi Justin,
Your professor is correct. However it is rare. In my 22 years I have seen maybe 2 people it didn't work well on. And both of those were on some type of drug. Which I don't recall what it was at the moment. I can tell you it works on me though. lol We had to get maced, not to mention getting maced accidently when a partner tryed to mace a suspect. Hope this helped some.
Jim
