Talk:Mace (spray)

message: This page may need a complete rewrite, not a simple expansion.  The concept of "mace" is very confused and unclear to say the least... Anne 30-June-2006

message: So is there any information on where "real" mace (i.e., not pepper spray) is found, or is legal, etc.? 67.175.75.186 04:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Real mace

message: I think this sentence in the article is a bit suggestive:
"easy overpowering e.g. by law enforcement officials over a criminal."
I think it shouldn't say 'criminal' but 'suspect' or even 'person', because it is not the case that police officers only use mace on criminals. They would use it on anyone they think is a criminal.
I'll change this if no objections come within a few days

message: What is the basis for the statement that it's not legal most places?  Where is it legal?  Why was it made illegal?  —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.88.123.57 (talk) 11:04, August 21, 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It's illegal in the UK and also much of Europe. In the UK it's illegal to carry knives, sprays or any kind of weapon, and rightly so.Gymnophoria (talk) 12:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Are all the random mentions from television shows adding anything to the article?  There's little value in saying that it was "Mentioned by the "waitress" in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" if that's the extent of the reference.  Ditto the other one offs.  Not necessary to replicate every time mace is used in popular media, only notable examples with more context.  63.146.91.66 (talk) 16:52, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I'd suggest merging this stub with the Pepper spray article. The terms mace and pepper spray seem to be used interchangeably, but both are used the same and have the same legal issues.Gymnophoria (talk) 12:35, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge with Pepper Spray

message: Why do we need to continue reverting the Mace page? It's not a generacized trademark, but an active one. This is direct from corporate itself. Even with references added it has been reverted.
I'm unsure why it continues to be reverted?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrHead790 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 9 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mace is An Active Trademark 

message: At the beginning of the article it says that "...aerosol self defense spray invented by Allan Lee Litman in 1965. The first commercial product of its type..."
But in Germany, self defense aerosol sprays have been on the market with the brand "TW1000" since 1962. (http://www.tw1000.com/production.html)
This should be corrected.
