I no longer carry mace, knives or other weaponry. I do have a mace in my car console, and keep several scattered around the house. But with three inquisitive (and sometimes disobedient) kids around, I have all (fighting) knives and guns under lock and key. The mace may hurt like hell, but they probably won't "borrow" it and it won't kill them.
