Challenging photo
[edit]The second photo, titled "pepper spray demonstration" appears to be edited. Upon close examination of the area around the spray, there is an discoloration the shape of an area marked with a highlighter from the spray bottle to the handle of the door behind the man on the left. The house appears blue in this area, and the man (being sprayed) appears more yellow. Upon examining the original source, no explanation is given for this discrepancy. I recommend its removal or replacement, with the consideration that it is not necessary to the article. 2600:100F:B12A:D4EF:0:55:18B4:A401 (talk) 22:45, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
Chicken or egg dilemma
[edit]The article on pepper spray claims it was originally invented to fend off bears - as bear spray - while the article on bear spray claims the idea for bear spray came from commercial pepper sprays. 62.35.36.138 (talk) 13:59, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Thailand - Spray Legal
[edit]Hi I believe the information on Peper Spray being legal in Thailand to be untrue, or outdated based on recent research. Seems that it is illegal in Thailand although readily available.. "Thailand: Use for self-defense is legal, and it is freely available in stores" 81.105.137.41 (talk) 12:45, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
