Stun guns in the UK are not a good Idea mate.
If you get caught importing it you will loose it at best, and at worst be right in the poo.
If you do get it & get caught EDC'ing one You WILL get Hit with a huge fine + or jail time or comunity service.
If are a scrote you wont get too much bother, as getting knicked with things like this is an ocupational hazard for scrotes, and for a carrear criminal with nothing to loose its no big deal. But If you are a decent chap, which I'm sure you are, It ain't worth it mate.
Can you imagine applying for a new job, and having to explaing your criminal conviction for carrying a stungun to you prospective employer in a country that Is so backwards towards self deffence.
The is no definition of carrying a defensive weapon in the UK, any weapon is classed as an offensive weapon, which makes you offensive, and a criminal.
If you have even been arrested you cant go to the USA anymore, ( without a lengthy process and visa trouble, and that is still not garrenteed you'd get accepted, and thats even If you wern't charged or convicted of what you were arrested for in the end.
I could go on and on and on, but realy there is no benifit for you to EDC weapons in the UK, especially those on the Banned list, and there is a defined banned list of what you can and cant have in the UK, ( I got the home office to send me the list of what you can and cannot import.) including Balisongs, flick knives, nuckles, stun guns, kubotans, all kind of ninja stuff etc etc etc ...........pepperspay is classed as a firearm, and I'm not 100% but I think a stun gun is too. It will definaley get you into as much bother.
Do you realy want to that much heat.
Infact anything that an officer of the law thinks might be a weapon or improvised weapon like a screw driver, metal comb, brick, if you can think of it so can they, you need to account for you actions. Or you will get knicked
You like torches, thats why you are here, So EDC a torch, A torch is a tool, not a weapon.
You have a choice from a small E2e sized light to a 6D mag. Torches are perfectly legal to EDC. If you cant protect yourself with a torch a stun gun is useless.
I have been stupid enough to intentionally shock myself with a stun gun, infact me and my friends uset to play "it" or "Tag" with our stun guns, and it hurts; But I'm not stupid enough to **** myself in the face with a torch.
Supprisingly BTW knives are Legal to EDC.
Yep thats right, but its all in context, if you have good reason for it you can carry it, If you dont have a good reason ie a trademan, chef, camping, bushcrafter etc. then you CAN still carry a knife, but it needs to be 3" ( or less, the 3" actually referes to the sharpened edge length) blade that doesn't lock, think swiss army knives. That is your right under section 139 of the criminal justice act. Although you can't take one into schools, and a few other places.
But that is all in context to, ie dont go into a night club or a football match with 3" non locking folding knife. Legal to the letter of the law, but you will still risk getting your collar felt.
UK law is fluid, if the judge thinks you are taking the **** he can change the law to some degree to suit there and then. S139 used to make it ok for locking knives under 3", But a judge in court changed the rules buy saying a lock knife was a fixed blade, so case law stands and it would have to go to a ridiculousley high court to overturn it, and now of cource in todays climate they wont.
It has to be a good reason, saying the lock is to protect your fingers if you need to cut something wont save your bacon if you had nothing planned to cut / work on.
So back to torches, I prefer the 6C mag, (yes you can still buy them in England even though they are discontinued,) for the car. My Mad Maxbeam 2D mag with 65623 for EDCing with a coat on its still a little big for EDC, and an E2D for pocket carry with a all black balrog body so It doesn't advertize defender on it, because as I told you, in the UK the defender becomes the offender without even offending anyone.
Oh and yeah, I EDC a knife also, but It changes on the situation and the legal context.
