ABOUT US

F3Defense – Freedom from Fear. With over 100 years of experience in personal protection and safety, F3Defense was founded by Michael Mercer, a retired police officer and US Navy veteran. Our mission is to safeguard individuals, families, businesses, and law enforcement personnel from dangerous encounters with innovative defense technology.

Our Origin

F3Defense emerged from a profound incident in Bangor, Maine, where a mother and her three children found themselves trapped in a minivan surrounded by violent protesters. This harrowing event underscored the urgent need for effective protection in vulnerable situations, leading to the development of our world-renowned Mobile Pepper Spray Deployment Systems. Our systems are patented in the US and South Africa, and provide non-lethal means to escape and manage dangerous encounters.
