UK doesn't arrest you for carrying pepper spray.
- implements 4y agoThe incapacitating kind of pepper spray is treated as a Section 5 ‘Firearm’ in the UK, and would land you in a world of trouble. You can get unpleasant smelling / badly staining / hard to remove spray which acts as a deterrent by making an attacker easily identifiable, but that’s about it I believe.
- localplume 4y agoDo you mean the other way around? Pepper spray is illegal in the UK (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-controls-on-offensive-weapons https://www.gov.uk/guidance/import-controls-on-offensive-wea...) but its legal in all states in the US.

- sh4rks 4y agoAnd everyone seems to carry that one
