Ireland & Personal Defence Weapons (Pepper Spray etc..)

Oh and Hai thar. I was wondering, what PDW are legal in Ireland? Can you legally buy and carrying things like Pepper Spray, or say something like Brass Knuckles etc?

seven_eleven · 23-08-2012 02:37PM

No. Neither.

pepper spray is treated as a firearm. "no" on the brass knucks.

Duggy747 · 23-08-2012 02:38PM

Nope on either of those.

I just shìt my pants and hope they'll be disgusted enough to leave me alone.

Quite handy when there's a big queue at the ATM.

Use your obvious charisma to disarm any possible assailants

saiint · 23-08-2012 02:41PM

nope
but their easy to get
me da has one in his taxi
except its not pepper spray
its a spray he got on holidays
its very dangerous
if you inhale it when its sprayed, it closes up your throat and basicly your ****ed for about 5minutes until it wers off

although he hasnt had a chance to use it
so i can imagin if someone tryed to rob him in the taxi
he sprayed them with it, and it ends up just been water

Only when you are tied to a bedpost with a cucumber up your hole

Johnny Bitte · 23-08-2012 02:41PM

You are not allowed to carry anything to my knowledge.

You must put your faith in the age old believe that it'll be grand!!!

Mr Benevolent · 23-08-2012 02:42PM

Nope. Things that are not designed as weapons occupy a grey area, i.e a small can of hairspray, a water pistol full of concentrated mace/water mix.

A legible/comprehensible form of English would be nice.

Tombi! · 23-08-2012 02:49PM

What are you? Some kind of scumbag?
So you get jumped by 10 youths, defend yourself under the law, you may kick them in the knee to knock them down and run away.

There's your defense. Pfft, using weapons like a scumbag.
Poor Damo and his mates could get hurt that way when they try smashing your face in!

CardBordWindow · 23-08-2012 02:51PM

If you were attacked, and used a PDW, you'd get more time in jail than your attacker would get if he put you in a coma!

God Sir, I am not a scumbag. A friend from Sweden asked me what was legal in Ireland to carry as she was moving over for work in Dublin. Apparently you can carry Pepper Spray in Sweden. I said I didn't know what was legal....BUT I KNEW WHO WOULD KNOW, THOSE INTELLIGENT FELLOWS OVER IN AFTER HOURS.

I was making a joke about how the scumbags in ireland would get in less trouble for beating you up compared to you using pepper spray to stop them.

Now he's putting question marks at the end of every sentence to give his posts the pseudo American accent... the annoying one with the upward intonation at the end of every sentence.
You should try reading it out loud?
You'll see what I mean?

The above comment is very true. The sh1tkicking scumbags who try to attack you won't get in half as much bother as you if you mace or pepper spray them.

The law is fcuked up.

Ah now come on, who's the real scumbag? The poor deprived kids who are on the dole addicted to drugs/drink or the monster who brutally uses a weapon in self-defense against 10 deprived youths from a poor area?:pac:

hatrickpatrick · 23-08-2012 03:25PM

Unfortunately Ireland has far too big a problem with organized crime for this to ever be viable. Best keep it as complicated and difficult as possible for scumbags to arm themselves.

Can you imagine the bloodbath at the Swedish House Mafia if the scumbags who stabbed people had instead been armed with tasers? Or if they had been able to fire a cannister of pepper spray into the crowd before starting their rampages?

The reprecussions are too hideous to contemplate...
