Isn't pepper spray treated as a firearm?

You're probably better off using either brute force or a kosh*

*not that I condone that sort of thing!

Takes the piss when its a gang. I'm all up for a bit of even numbers, one on one etc but other than that its bang out of order.

Just out of interest where in Essex are you?

As above penalty fr ebing caught with it makes it a bad idea. Get a few mates together and turn the tables on the bullies. Done it when my bro was at school getting picked on by a gang. My brother was more than happy to go one on one but they don't work like that. We turned up outside the school in a transit van full of mates and they gobbed off. Should have seen their faces as the back of the van opened and a group of bouncers climbed out the back. All we had to do was walk towards them and you couldn't see them for dust. They left my bro alone after that.

an old leather watch strap with drawing pins shoved through the strap,then some electrical tape wrapped round the part with the pins poking through to protect the knuckles,

if anyone comes a long its cheap enough to be thrown away.

If you have no leather strap just use cardboard and glue the joins together then bind it with more tape.

wont kill them but will sting for weeks,best avoid the eyes aswell

Pepper spray and CS are classified as Section 5 firearms - plod will jump all over you if you get found with one. Likewise any offensive weapon like knuckle dusters/bats etc. a bad idea.

There are plenty of martial arts that can be good for self defence. I've heard that Krav Maga (an Israeli military technique) is pretty vicious, doesn't mess about with teaching anything other than how to incapacitate your assailant.

why not report it to plod in the first place?

and I'd agree the best defence against five assailants is to run away!

Gus - i know you're only trying to help your lad, which i can't fault you for, but is it worth risking his future by getting him to carry something that could see him get a criminal record?

Personally - i'd recommend he carries a lot of loose change in a sock in his pocket...

A good fistful of change or two inside a large sock swung into someone WILL do damage

Does he know the people involved? Can he give good discriptions? Has he got visible marks from the assaults?

TBH if I was him i'd go with a duster of some sort (not feather ) and just take them on, if he gets a beating they won't do it again, if he beats one of them up, chances are the others won't do jack shit. Its life, i'm afraid.. just toughen him up.

tell him to go for the biggest one there and knock the shite out of him. all the other ones will see this and brick it. if that fails, do all of them on seperate occasions.

it might be good for his for this to happen, toughen him up. you can only learn to defend yourself when in a real situation with someone who wants to hurt you.

how old is he mate, cause if hes 15 they aont gonna do fook all but caution him

you can get it from france mate but as said its technically illigal to have here but theres people on here im sure can help you get it mate


make sure he tapes the can so he can dump it and get no prints to give him half a chance of getting out of it


i hate bullies with a passion and mate 5 on 1 the ONLY way to win is pepper spray and then fuck off,,,,,,, you better spray him a few times too as if hes never used it before he will also catch himself and it fucking hurts,,,,,,,, makes it pointless if he sprays the shits but he goes blind and cant runaway


best he used that than carries a blade as thats what usually happens with kids but he would most likely pull the blade, not have the guts to use it but the people hes threatened obv dont think that and would stab him as self defence as they think hes gonna stab them,,,,,,,,, id say pepper spray


oh and amonia in a washing up bottle is a old street thing but trust me best not to ever attempt


OR another idea is a snooker ball in a sock,,,,,,, thats a nice and subtle but works well ive heard, against 5 i would advise him to hit who ever is in the middle and then the rest generally get worried as every group has a hard fooker they look to for protection


oh and NEVER hit the smallest one,,,,,,,,, tall people tend not to get in fights as people usually shit it but the small people always get into fights and as a result tend to be better fighters

Sand in a sock is good as the load disipates over the are and can break the bone leaving hardly any bruising.

most off the above said would land you in trouble, with the law, (cos the laws shit )

i would have thought tho if hes walking to work at 4/5 in the morning ( what does he do? ) carrying say a 6D cell maglite shouldnt get him into bother?

a good one to carry in the car too

Surely if he walks the same way to work every day and sees the same group of lads he's just going to make things worse if he uses pepper spray on one of them? Pepper spray will soon wear off and then they're just going to go back after him.

Best thing he can do is stand his ground, get a caribina just large enough to fit over his knuckles and use that as a duster, hit a couple of them with that and they should leave him alone.. Or get a load of his mates together and get them to walk with him. when they see the lads give them a hiding.

Get him a rape alarm...
But seriously just go drive past him in the car..if you see the lads approach him then get out the car and sort the lil shits out. Or follow 'um home and give the parents a seeing too.
Sounds like he needs toughening up anyway...weapons are for tits

thats usually what can happen thats why its best to spray and run if you cant fight
i know a couple of folk that have been caught with cs and both ended up with fine and warning.if hes young and no record thats worst case scenario i reckon if he was caught with it
