I wanted to share this and perhaps you want to pass it along as this is the second attack on a woman in the area. I’m not sure what trail it is but could be 6 Mile. Might be a best bet to not travel alone.
Thanks for the alert. Certainly looks like it was in the 6MR area. Sadly a similar attack took place between Morristown and Madison not more than 2 weeks ago on the paved Traction Line trail. Authorities caught the scumbags. I hope they throw the book at them and then some. I’m glad the victim at the 6MR attack was able to fight him off.

Not gonna lie, my wife has been carrying pepper spray and now bear spray since we started walking or hiking at RSP and before that at Mills Reservation. Mostly because of bears but there's the odd male encounter every now and then that makes her feel more comfortable knowing she's got some type of protection.Not gonna lie, after the Morristown one, I was looking up pepper sprays on Amazon.

Little aggressive, no?Just remember that possession of over 3/4 of an ounce of pepper spray is a crime in NJ, so don't buy the big boy. Spray your politicians when you see them.
UFB……only in NJJust remember that possession of over 3/4 of an ounce of pepper spray is a crime in NJ, so don't buy the big boy. Thank your politicians when you see them.
That's not bear spray, jus pepper spray. Correct? I hear Morristown is full of aggressive bears...wait, yeah, maybe not just yet...Just remember that possession of over 3/4 of an ounce of pepper spray is a crime in NJ, so don't buy the big boy. Thank your politicians when you see them.

Got any suggestions? I was looking at something like this:
SABRE Advanced Compact Pepper Spray with Clip – 3-in-1 Formula (Pepper Spray, CS Tear Gas & UV Marking Dye), Police Strength Self Defense Spray, 10-Foot (3 m) Range, 35 Bursts – Easy Access Belt Clip Amazon product ASIN B0007VM8UC
Would that go on your criminal record ? I'm sure it would warrant the State to come down on the offender and throw the book at her/him...imagine what would happen if you were to actually use it on a sexual predator trying to jump you!The law addresses "chemical substance" so technically bear spray would be limited to 3/4 ounce unless that bill becomes law.
Nothing in N.J.S.2C:39-5 shall be construed to prevent any person who is 18 years of age or older and who has not been convicted of a felony, from possession for the purpose of personal self-defense of one pocket-sized device which contains and releases not more than three-quarters of an ounce of chemical substance not ordinarily capable of lethal use or of inflicting serious bodily injury, but rather, is intended to produce temporary physical discomfort or disability through being vaporized or otherwise dispensed in the air. Any person in possession of any device in violation of this subsection shall be deemed and adjudged to be a disorderly person, and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $100.00.
