Text of USA Section

The text of 2016-01-18T07:44:01 seems to offer the best overall summary. The text introduced in 2020-03-10T20:54:28 is not really about the United States specifically and in fact was cut-and-pasted from the general "Background" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsnx (talk • contribs) 23:55, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

Self Defence sprays

I wrote that A person can legally take martial arts classes in the UK to defend themselves as well as carrying self defence sprays such as Farbgel and StoppaRed UV sprays. I put this in the article because I feel that it belongs there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.82.16.223 (talk • contribs) 06:15, 29 June 2014‎

Move backgroun to UK/US section

The background part made sense years ago when the whole article was UK/US specific. In the current form it however doesn't make much sense (especially as Czech Wenceslaus Agreement of 1517 precedes the Bill of Rights of 1689 by more than a century and half). How about moving the background information to UK/US section? Or rewriting the background into "history" that would cover more than just UK/US?

weak sources

I find the sourcing to be very weak, including from the NRA and the GOA in the lead, among other glaring problems, such as the dubious interpretation/extrapolation of British common law, and Czech rules. the article was created 21 years ago and appears to be in a state of neglect. even the title kinda suggests a POV agenda.

in coming days, I plan to tag weak sources in the hope they can be improved to ensure this controversial topic is adequately supported by solid sources. I think the article should be formally designated as WP:CTOP.

if significant improvement is not made, the article might reasonably be considered as a candidate for deletion. that might ignite a firestorm of protest, so I hope some better sourcing might preclude such a development. soibangla (talk) 02:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
