Product Information

I can wholeheartedly empathise with the lawmakers in the UK - they have a very hard task of protecting the public from harm - but that task is made doubly difficult when we consider that any self-defence tool can be just as easily used for offence. So, when you are faced with the challenge of defending yourself effectively, the choices and responsible options available to you are limited. The act of even holding and pointing a knife towards a would-be aggressor is against the law in the UK, the consequences of doing so can be very serious and are even worse if the worst happens and you're forced to use it. Figure 1: Farbgel Criminal Identifier Spray (reproduced with kind permission from www.farbgel.com), EveAid Personal Defence Spray (reproduced with kind permission from www.vestguard.co.uk) and a Prohibited Pepper Spray Section 5(1)(b) of the Firearms Act 1968 prohibits any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid or gas. Because Farbgel spray does not contain any noxious substances and the can itself is not designed to discharge a noxious substance, it is not prohibited by the Firearms Act.

We supply an extensive range of belt accessories Spray Lanyard in our Belts, Pouches and Attachments. In addition to factory produced sprays, there is sometimes confusion over items such as washing up bottles or water pistols filled with noxious liquids. In the stated cases of R v Upton and Formosa [1990] and R v Titus [1971], it was decided on appeal that items such as these were neither originally “designed” for discharging a noxious substance, nor, as they had in no way been modified, to be considered “altered” and therefore these did not fit the description given in Section 5(1)(b) of the Firearms Act 1968. They were therefore not to be considered firearms and instead a charge under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 should have been considered.Section 5(1)(b) of the Firearms Act 1968 "prohibits any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid or gas". Now because this spray does not contain any 'noxious substances' and the canister itself is not 'designed to discharge a noxious substance', it is not prohibited by the Firearms Act.

Farb-Gel Spray should only be used in an Emergency. MC Products UK Ltd accepts no liability or responsibility for improper use or possession of this product. Size: UK crime statistics have been dropping steadily for the last 20 years, but that by no means that crime is not a problem. Muggings, theft, and breaks-ins are still a common occurrence, especially in the major cities.The sole option that is available to that the average UK citizen and is, in some ways, the UK version of pepper spray would be one of the Deterrent Self-Defence sprays. These sprays are typically:

However, many people in the UK still do not realise that pepper sprays are covered by the Firearms Act 1968. Section 5(1)(b) of the Act classifies any weapon of whatever description, designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing as a prohibited firearm. Pepper sprays (in addition to CS sprays, Mace etc) contain substances such as oleoresin capsicum (known as OC), desmethyl dihydrocapsaicin (known as PAVA) and 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (known as CS) which cause an irritant effect and are deemed to be noxious by UK law. So, just what can we do if we want pepper spray UK-legal alternatives that any law-abiding member of society can use and buy? Not only that but they will be covered in a bright red foaming dye that will get into their eyes and nose and mouth and is quite difficult to wash off. Making their way home from any such incident leaves them looking like they are covered in blood and that will attract attention to themselves, something they really do not want! The law is very clear when it comes to pepper spray being used or held in UK, it’s laid out in Section 5(1) (b) of the firearms act of 1968: Since the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard, there have been calls for the legalisation of pepper spray in the United Kingdom for self-defence purposes and a petition on Change.org currently has 47,445 signatures.So, what can you do to defend yourself? Since you cannot, under any circumstances, carry any sort of weapon with you to defend yourself, we’ll need to look into alternative and UK-legal methods of protecting ourselves, and our families. The European Union does not regulate pepper spray, leaving member countries free to regulate it themselves. Currently Italy, France, Czech Republic, Spain, Austria, Poland, Hungary, Latvia, Romania, Serbia and Russia all allow for possession of pepper spray without a licence (in some cases limited to over 18s) and Switzerland, Germany, Finland and Portugal allow possession, but a licence must be obtained first. This variation in European law can cause confusion amongst both visitors from abroad to the UK and tourists from the UK visiting these countries in Europe, and it is all too easy for an unknowing traveller to bring a prohibited weapon into the country. 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. This act prohibits any weapon of any description, designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other substance. Basically, the law categorically states that any sort of pepper spray, which includes the sort used by law enforcement around the world, that projects an irritating gas or liquid, is, without a shadow of a doubt, illegal for any UK citizen to own or buy while on UK shores.
