Pepper spray

[Yai]

Is pepper spray sold in the UK for civilian or security guard use? If not, is it legal to import it?

[Loosehead]

No and no.

[Sludge]

It is against the law to import:

(1) High voltage electric �stun guns�
(2) Pepper sprays, CS gas canisters and other self defence sprays
(3) High-powered air rifles
(4) Martial Arts weapons such as Death stars and Swordsticks
(5) Knives that have a concealed blade or a sharp point such as Belt buckle blades.
 
For importation and possession offences Judges have the option of imposing a fine, sending someone to jail for up to 10 years or combining the two.

as above - no, but for personal protection in the instance of an assault or attack, i think a can of deodorant would be just as effective as CS gas !
