with the state of the uk as it is,full of crack heads,chavs ect,and with the police and courts siding with the criminals,i would like to own a tazer,or similar.bit of a shock for the burglar with a knife.something the wife can use to defend herself with.
any ideas where to get one,and what power to buy?

Oranoco

You can't, it's classed as a firearm iirc whcih means 5 years in the clink

S1rst

You may as well get a gun cos its the same offence mate!

TOMMY_RS

don't get any thing :S

so i supose your allowed one then if you have a gun licence? or is it different?

pacwest

A taser will get you assault with a deadly weapon. If the person dies then you will see manslaughter and the gallows. A stun gun means you have to actually touch the person. Neither are good.

Bear spray is a better option. Remote, won't kill and doesn't usually enrage the person on the bad end of the stick. Some allergic reactions can occur but more people die from tasers.

it means 3 months in the clink for possesion.
i have one i bought in berlin . 100000 volts, twice as powerful as the police issue. 28 deutsche marks from a hardware/tool shop.

Lloyd

damm 5 years sounds a long time

creator

think iv just read that even if you have a firearms licence there still illegal thats crap lol cant use that as an escuse then.

fuzzy

dont get caught with it. if you used it in a fight the other person wouldnt know what hit them, theyed come round lying on the floor wondering what happened with no visible marks to prove anything. allegedly.

They are classed as a firearm and can get you in alot of bother, my pal brought 10 of the torch type back from thailand with him the police found the only 1 he had left when they raided his flat for something unrelated & he was up on a firearms charge luckily it was faulty and the police couldnt get it to work so he got off with it.

Germany there all over the shop cs gas the lot and cheap as chips, was in a shop in Nuremburg for the haye fight last month and they were literally pounds to buy.

heres a pic of mine obviously taken in a country where they are legal....
, its quite small and compact. 4 prongs, thats the 100000 volt charge blue spark crackling between the 2 centre prongs... a light touch from the end prongs and your on your arse. more than a second and your muscles spasm causing you to piss and shit yourself. the instructions recommended no more than a 5 second max jolt in case you kill them with a heart attack

As said illegal in this country, HOWEVER a throw away camera isnt, go look on youtube, they will show you how to make one from,well a throw away camera

I think the plod would have a hard time prosecuting as a firearm, as it doesn't FIRE, ie no projectile from the ones you physically need to touch with, as opposed to the type which fire a projectile of some sort, such as the plod use.
They can be made a hell of a lot easier than using a cheapo camera, 100,000 is chicken feed, they could VERY easily be made 500,000 volts, for less than Ł5, hidden in a torch body or similar.
I've no doubt if caught sentence would be harsh, much more so than the mugger's sentence, they can be made very small though, easily fit inside a matchbox for example, not as much kick but still do the job.
It's about as basic as you can get electronic wise to make one.

They are classed under law as a firearm tho.

I've got a cattle prod style thing which gives u a proper shock which I brought from Thailand. Got it to stop my 15 stone dogs fighting. Did the trick. Also good as a weapon. And it's got a torch on it aswell!
Not sure if its legal but I hid it in my suitcase anyway!!

paul16v

No there not lol, read my post further up the page my mate found himself in a spot of bother over that type, he brought 10 back

narp, section 5 iirc, so military/police use only I'm affraid. (you could try writing to your firearms officer, but I highly doubt they'll allow you to have one lol)

mrjenrst

mate the majority of door staff i know/known have them or cs. My mate was working 1 night. A big kickoff happened and he cs gased someone. Copper came along few mins after. Said there has been an allegation you've cs gased someone, i'm going to search you..... After i've got something from the car and winked my mate was shitting it lol. Copper never did find owt well obvious really

mozzy

no there not its a myth, they can do nothing as lomg as you have good reason to carry it, i have a few of them mainly for my job but have one in the boot incase "it gets dark" lol

tabetha

6 dd mags are not illegal, unless you use one in a illegal manner, I have friends who convert these for people to LED for massively improved performance, inc for the plod, yes they do prefer these as a "weapon" should it be needed, hence the reason they are taught to hold them above thier shoulder, they can use it to whack a baddy, but they are also into other led's, I have one a converted akoray 80mm long, 22mm diameter and outshines a 6d maglite, weighs around 60-70 grammes!!
I was asked by a cop once what the long bar was for in my car, it was a steering lock to go through the wheel, I said to hit coppers with, it was confiscated and I was reported, 3 weeks later had a call that I could collect it, with NFA!!

Section 5

and good old Section 5 includes all the thing that are classed as firearms that they dont want anyone to have...

*EDIT* FYI

‘Section 5’ Prohibited Weapons

‘Section 5’ covers weapons that are prohibited unless special permission is granted by the Home Secretary. This section covers automatic weapons, military weapons and modern handguns. Specialist collectors and dealers are able to gain Section 5 authority but is will not be available to the vast majority of shooters and collectors. http://www.met.police.uk/firearms-en...s/f_prohb2.htm provides full details of the list and restrictions.


Basically all the good stuff LOL

I'll stick with my Section 2, nice and easy to obtain and lets face it a shotgun would do a pretty good number up close
