This video explains what the law actually says about self-defence, peppersprays and other so-called defensive weapons in the United Kingdom — and what you can and cannot legally do if you are attacked. I cover: whether pepper spray is legal to own or carry; the criminal risks of possessing noxious sprays; how the law treats reasonable force in self-defence; lawful alternatives that won’t land you in trouble; and practical steps to minimise risk while protecting yourself and your family.

2️⃣ What Can You Legally Carry for Self-Defence in the UK?
3️⃣ Can You Go to Prison for Carrying Pepper Spray in Britain?

The State is not afraid of armed criminals. It is terrified of an armed citizenry.

"Self defence is not a valid reason"

Self defence is THE MOST valid reason. I'm sick and tired of laws that exist only to demoralise people.

As an ex-cop, I concur with not talking to them. If they confiscate a legally held article, sue them, the officer confiscating, his immediate supervision, if present, and the Chief Constable.
I had a UK legal penknife confiscated, in spite of me explaining the law to the officer who spoke poor English badly.
His tutor constable and sergeant were present. The delay caused me to miss my train and subsequently a show.
I sued, through solicitors, and I settled for £5000 about six weeks after the event and signed a non-disclosure. Hence sparse details. I had the knife delivered back to me two days after confiscation.

There's a saying..." I would rather be judged by twelve than carried by six ".

Another law that protects the criminals and not the victims

UK law is really pathetic sometimes.

If you don’t have the right to protect your own life you could argue you have no rights at all !!

@molex114 11 months ago

If they don't want people carrying weapons to defend themselves, they should stop filling the country with people we need to defend ourselves from and stop letting violent criminals out of prison.
I'd much rather live in a country where it wasn't necessary, and we had a police force that protected us rather than suport the criminals. Attacking someone is a crime, defending yourself is a right

I was saying this recently. As a woman I don’t stand a chance against a male attacker but at least pepper spray would buy me time to run!

@christophertruman5664 11 months ago

Never tell the Police you have anything for self-defense. Don't be honest with the police, even when you feel you're in the right.

at 66 i look at my country and weep how much it has gone down the toilet in my lifetime

@Vic-d5b 11 months ago

We have heard several times lately, when the police did not proceed to charge: "the process is the punishment". Arrest by five armed police officers at an airport, held for many hours in a police cell, then no charge. Intimidation hiding as "legal process".

@Ken-yf8zl 11 months ago

Tell all this to the Birmingham ‘police’, who , some months ago, stood by while gangs of masked individuals gathered , armed with machetes.

@jaystevens1965 11 months ago

I doubt that pepper spray would ever become legalised because the government would see that as an admission that there is a problem.

@PickleRiiiiiiiiiick 11 months ago

But trying to kill a man with a knife in the street cos he’s burning your favourite book is totally fine and you get no jail time whatsoever??

Down in Cornwall many years ago, my local Gunsmith sold extending batons (which at that time were totally legal to carry, let alone possess). I bought 3, one for myself and each of my 2 sisters. I instructed my sisters on their use, and told them to never tell anyone they had them, and to only produce them if a situation that they could not run easily away from got out of control.
All 3 of us had reason over the next 5 years to produce them - and in every case the attacker ran like hell!
The Gunsmith himself told me he had had a police officer come in and tell him he shouldn't be selling them.
Gunsmith - "But they're totally legal"
Policeman - "There's no reason for these apart from attacking people!"
Gunsmith - "Oh, so that's the reason you have one one you belt, then, is it? Just for attacking people?"
Policeman - "No, mine's for self defence."

Enough said, I think.

@TheDigitalAura 11 months ago

They disarm us and then import a bunch of psychopaths, it's like some kind of sick joke.

@CappyAndChill 10 months ago

There’s regularly petitions to legalise pepper spray but hardly anybody signs them!

@phoenixmotorsport647 11 months ago

So what we are saying here, as it stands, the law abiding people of this country has absolutely no right to have the means to defend themselves against an ever increasing number of armed criminals?
