Is there a legal to mace spray in the uk?

Answer

Yes, in a way. It's not mace, but it is a self defence spray.

It is red 'goop' stuff, it is hard to get off without water and also stains the skin and clothes of the attacker with a UV dye.

This company also offer a free replacement if there is a legitimate crime number involved.

I only know about this because my dad used to teach in a prison and was looking around at self defence things to help me while I walked around town etc. He found this and I try my hardest to get my friends to buy one but they never seem to 'get around to it'. I have never had to use mine but just carrying it makes me feel safer.
