So when it comes to the question of preparing and defending yourself, the choice of “weapon” is not so easy. He will not of been expecting it and have no idea what might of just happened, and probably be more scared and ready to run off, than you! As these products look like conventional pepper sprays and are designed to discharge a jet of liquid under pressure (like a pepper spray), they may be confused for prohibited weapons by law enforcement personnel and, in the past, we have seen such items submitted for forensic testing. Forensic testing laboratories, which are UKAS accredited, will be able to determine that these items do not contain a noxious substance, however ‘testing’ may be conducted by the police themselves, who in most cases are not accredited or equipped to conduct these tests, and misidentification may occur. Section 5(1)(b) of the firearms Act 1968 prohibits any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for In the UK statistics show that crime against adults [16 and over] has decreased. In fact crime in the UK is at an all time low and continues to fall.

I bought this for my daughter and her 3 best friends as there recently have been young girls followed and one lifted in to a care. There has been so many creepy incidents in the area and some has been creeping the girls out. They often go on the bus to see eachother and I just wanted them to feel a little safer. The girls absolutely love them and their parents said thank you too (they included that it made them feel more at ease when their daughter goes out). With this sprayed into the eyes it is not possible to see what you are doing - wiping it off only makes it worse. You can buy the spray with a neat belt pouch for a couple of pounds extra – I found this very handy as it will clip onto a 2″ belt quite easily. Furthermore I have tested out both products on myself and found that they would be very good and useful in a self defence situation.
