Anyone here from the U.K. that can advise me?

I had heard you can have no legal self defense weapons in England. One guy told me they use sharp pencils, W.D. 40 and a slap coin purse for self defense in England. I will be going to London next year. I like to travel with some pepper spray, an assisted opening knife and a collapsible baton.

If I ran into trouble in the U.K. and had to put some of the aforementioned weapons to use, what sort of problems would an American face?

I'm 62 and not into bars or booze, so any trouble I'd get would be from attacks on the street or subway. I've ran into trouble many times in the US of A and the weapons came in handy. The attacks I've experienced were from me standing or walking and doing nothing.

Thanks!
 
The best I can do is refer you to YouTube MCQBushcrafter is an avid outdoorsman who lives in the British Isles and has a number of videos on knives, including one on laws in the U.K. You might also just message him with your questions. Good Luck
 
being an American does not give you special rights to weapons carry or obeying a countries laws,you would probably face prison time..
