Mace® Brand Pepper Spray Now Legal in Massachusetts
18 September 2014 - 4:02PM
Business Wire
On August 11, 2014, The Honorable Governor Deval Patrick signed
House Bill 4376 into law thereby allowing the citizens of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts to purchase pepper spray without a
firearms ID card. Under the old law, pepper spray was classified as
ammunition, much to the dismay of law-abiding citizens.
Firearms dealers may sell self-defense sprays to any person age
18 or over, unless otherwise disqualified. A firearms
identification (FID) card or license to carry firearms (LTC) is not
required for purchase. However, dealers should verify age with a
valid form of identification. Individuals between the ages of 15
and 18 must still have a valid firearms identification (FID) card
to purchase self-defense spray. Except for verifying age, a dealer
is not required to determine whether or not a purchaser is
disqualified from possessing self-defense spray.
Mace Security International has already begun shipping product
to many of its retail partners in the Commonwealth. John J. McCann,
CEO and President of Mace Security International, Inc., stated: “We
are happy for the people of Massachusetts. We are thankful for the
courageous lawmakers of the Commonwealth who recognized an
antiquated restriction in the law that made it difficult for most
citizens to buy pepper spray. This step forward for Massachusetts
helps Mace® Brand fulfill its mission to empower people.”
