what are the laws pertaining to self defense in spain and what can you carry and what cant you carry ?
I simply want to know what you can and can't carry why because I can't find any information on this elsewhere otherwise I wouldn't be asking here.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_legislation Generally I would carry a small torch and a large amount of common sense. You really don't want to upset the Spanish police.
My motives ? Ok fine I wanted to know if carrying a tactical pen was illegal if it is I won't carry one.
because I couldn't find any information on it anywhere that is why I asked here and if I don't get any info on it I won't carry a tactical pen in Spain.
No it's just I have made a habit of carrying a tactical pen with me and wanted to know if it was allowed in Spain. I'm just going to Spain for a week that's it.
Your going on holiday to enjoy yourself. No need to carry habits from home with you. Just have a good time. Use self awareness conditional awareness - that sort of thing. Baza
no there not the law in the uk says kubotans/tactical pens can be used but only for assisting in the application of joint locks and pressure holds and not for striking so legally i can carry a tactical pen in NI.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8606969.stm Prosecuted for owning one in public. A metal non tacticooll pen, or a metal non tacticooll torch is the way to carry without threat of arrest.
Well one thing to know about spain is that if someone offers your "chocolate" on the street, they don't mean cocoa. Other than that, Have fun
