I have seen it in more of the gun shops. Not sure where else off the top of my head.
-
I bought from young guns.....heck, I bought some from Office Max once.
-
Try J. Hara. I know people on Yelp! have posted they carry it.
-
Get the Mace gun. Much easier and faster to use than the canister type
I got mine from Young Guns, but SEC also carries them.

Young guns, SEC all have great selections. I'm not a fan of the mace gun because it gets bulky in my pocket with all the other crap I got in there. I got a simple small breath spray size can.
And spread out through my home, I have a few more bigger cans.
Be sure to test them also after buying. This way you know the range and pattern it projects. But don't do it down wind or on a windy day next to your neighbors window.

In Hawaii this will get you a felony if you ever used it and the reason for use was doubtful.
I would advise against use/carrying the mace gun.

Also prohibited to carry due to ROH 40-23. Replica firearms
Article 23. Replica Guns
“Firearm” shall mean the same as it is defined in HRS Section 134-1.
“Law enforcement officer” shall mean any public servant, whether employed by the state, the city or the United States, vested by law with a duty to maintain public order or to make arrests for offenses or to enforce the criminal laws, whether that duty extends to all offenses or is limited to a specific class of offenses.
“Replica gun” shall mean any toy or other object which bears such a resemblance to an actual firearm that a reasonable person would have difficulty visually distinguishing it from an actual firearm, and which lacks any feature or aspect which would serve as a signal to allow a person to readily distinguish the replica gun from an actual firearm by sight. The term shall not include an actual firearm.
(Added by Ord. 03-24)
(a) No person shall carry or display a replica gun on any street, alley, public road, or on any public lands unless such replica gun is in a suitable case or securely wrapped.
(b) No person shall draw or brandish a replica gun in the presence of a law enforcement officer engaged in the performance of his or her duties.
(c) Nothing in this article shall be deemed to prevent any person who has obtained a hunting license pursuant to HRS Chapter 183D from engaging in hunting in accordance with law.
(d) In the event a replica gun is also an “air gun,” as defined in Section 41-8.1, the exceptions in Section 41-8.4 shall also be exceptions to the prohibitions in this article.
(e) Nothing in this article shall prevent carrying or display of a replica gun by a person involved in a living history presentation or other activity for historical interpretation or educational purposes, or by a person participating in a parade if such activity or parade participant is associated with an established historical organization, museum, military preservation organization, or other group with a mission to educate the public at various events through the use of historical artifacts, clothing, vehicles, aircraft, maritime vessels, and firearms or replicas thereof.

So wouldn't a taser be considered a "replica gun"? It could resemble a real gun to a reasonable person. But then again, so can a stabler that's black.
Down the rabbit hole we go.

I too have seen them at most of the local gun shops. Many seems to be marketed to females (pink and other color ones).
As for practicing being mindful of neighbors, I have been told many stories out at Schofield when someone misjudged the wind during training with CS. The adjacent neighborhood “caught gas”.

Chances are, if you pull out a mace/pepper spray gun (or taser gun), you're going to use it. That puts the entire "it looked like a gun" claim to rest. Functionality and use outweigh appearance.

I seriously doubt anyone would get charged with a felony for using a Mace gun in a legitimate SD situation. In any case, my USCCA insurance will provide an attorney if I did get arrested. I would much rather carry my JPX but that is considered a firearm since it uses a 9mm case and primer to propel the gel. That one you can shoot into the wind.
