Only just over 3% of the Czech adult population has secret port permits. This, combined with a generally low rate of violent crime, makes the use of defensive weapons relatively rare. Defensive knife uses are more common, as there are no restrictions on carrying weapons other than firearms. Defensive applications of pepper sprays, which are officially recommended by the Ministry of the Interior for women, the elderly and other vulnerable groups, are even more common. [2] We could stumble upon dangerous areas, come into contact with people trying to take advantage of travelers, or simply suffer regular crimes that can occur in any area. It is important that we travel safely, which means that we prepare with legal self-defense weapons. But even in countries where pepper spray may be legal with a license, its use against a person in the EU usually constitutes an attack. The rules for carrying weapons in air traffic are stricter than ever. Fortunately, you are still allowed to bring different types of weapons, but only in checked baggage.
Always check with your airline what their rules are. With respect to weapons and transport permits, I am not familiar with the law in that regard, so I will leave that to someone else. Although I doubt that carrying weapons in your personal vehicle is allowed, as gun handling regulations tend to be quite strict. A good Puukko would be more convenient. This case has a number of curiosities that make it somewhat unusual, and it is quite misleading to use it as an example. A more normal self-defense scenario is the case of the man who killed an intruder in a gang fight with a sword a few years ago. He was acquitted. Therefore, the assertion that the weapon would be used to better cope with an altercation or danger is not in itself a legitimate reason. It depends on the location, circumstances and context.
Finland has legislation. Particularly relevant parts are Section 2 of Chapter 1 and Sections 2 and 3 of Chapter 2. They can use appropriate force to arrest a criminal. In addition, the Penal Code (4:4) allows citizens to protect themselves against immediate or actual unlawful attacks. The measures applied should, in turn, be adapted to the current situation, i.e.: You cannot shoot an apple thief. What is reasonable and what is not depends on the skills of the lawyers. If the defences are deemed adequate, you cannot be prosecuted for it. The reason you shoot the leg is to let attackers know you`re Serius (since there are more). Another reason to “shoot the legs” would be not to kill them, so I hope to show that you just wanted to protect yourself and not kill anyone, even if stunning the guns may seem excessive, but can you think of a more useful non-lethal defense weapon? There are also a number of handy items that can serve as defensive weapons when approaching a potential threat.
An aluminum water bottle works well when it is readily available. Thick chargers are also useful sticks when rolled up. Contrary to extreme necessity, there is no requirement of subsidiarity, that is to say, no obligation to withdraw. There is also no requirement of proportionality, since the law provides that the defence must not be manifestly disproportionate (another translation: manifestly disproportionate) to the nature of the attack. [4] The type of attack includes everything from the intensity of the attack, the personality of the attacker, the characteristics and intentions, the attacker`s possible previous actions (threats, harassment, etc.), the location and time of the attack, the numerical advantage and possibility of others joining the attacker, the possibility for the attacker to use a weapon, etc.[4] Necessary self-defense can be asserted, to prevent an imminent or ongoing attack on an interest protected by the Criminal Code (e.g., B`s right to property or right to life) through an act that would otherwise be punishable (e.g., the use of a firearm against the other person). [3] In France, the trade is unlicensed and possession is legal for people over 18, but carrying can be punished by a fine depending on the amount and concentration. Defensive measures should not be continued after an attack has ended. In the event that the defense lawyer is prosecuted, it is up to the prosecution to prove that the defense will continue beyond the end of the attack and will be decided according to the principle in dubio pro reo. [9] Believe it or not, in the UK, pepper/CS spray is considered a firearm and carries the same legal penalties as carrying a gun! If you are caught with pepper spray or import it, you must be arrested and convicted afterwards. You could even be threatened with deportation from the UK. I was wondering if there are generally accepted self-defense laws in various European countries that consider self-defense and the use of firearms for self-defense? It`s a nice joke, but it wouldn`t be so funny if you were charged with attempted murder and spent 40 years or more in jail just because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time and you have to protect yourself from someone who has a lot less to lose than you do.
Finally, self-defense is also allowed in the Civil Code (Article 423), so you cannot be sued for damages by aggressors who then beat you. However, according to the Criminal Code (4:4.2), defence counsel are exempt from liability if he cannot be expected to take other measures. This applies even if defensive measures have been deemed inappropriate, i.e. shooting at an attacker. Even if the penalty for the use of inappropriate means of self-defence is deemed too severe, the penalty may be waived. Here is an English translation of the Finnish Penal Code. In Hungary, it is FREE to own any type of tear gas/irritating spray. However, it is legal to only carry those with less than 20 grams of payload and NON-pepper. So CS, CN, CR are LEGAL. It is acceptable to use a firearm to defend against a violent attack, especially if a person is attacked with a knife or other weapon.
Shooting of unarmed assailants also occurs and is sometimes controversial. In general, each case is thoroughly investigated before finally being rejected as self-defence. [10] The defence is judged on the basis of the subjective and objective perception of the defence counsel during the period of the imminent or ongoing attack and not on the opinion of the persons who judge it a posteriori. [11] As far as territorial defence is concerned, there is no castle doctrine in the Czech Republic. Several attempts to introduce it into Czech law have failed. Home defence is therefore judged in the same way as in any other place. [10] I know I sound paranoid, but I honestly think Europeans have no real way to protect themselves except for good luck. The use of stun guns is legal in most states. (Check the stun gun restrictions page to check the status of your target.) Make sure to put the device in your checked baggage and not in your carry-on baggage.
No idea, in the Balkans we shoot first and check if it is legal later. In fact, the European legal system does not even recognise this, which leads me to wonder about the prospects for the average European citizen. There was a recent case here in Sweden of a man who was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to prison and paid the family of the deceased, after he was beaten by 2 men, they pointed a gun at his face, shouted “Pull him” and he pulled out a knife in self-defense. Is there a permit that allows Europeans to store firearms in a car for self-defence? There are three main concepts in Czech law that exclude criminal and civil liability based on self-defence. “Extreme necessity” (krajní nouze) can be used against a danger other than an attack by another person, such as: a rabid dog. “Necessary self-defense” (nutná obrana) can be invoked against an attack by another person, whether it is a direct attack or a dog being ordered to attack. The third concept is called “authorized use of a weapon” (oprávněné užití zbraně) and can generally be invoked not by civilians but by police or other officials. [1] Check with the region you`re travelling to for tactical knife rules. These are deadly in many cases, so states and countries have made a point of regulating their presence. We`ve compiled a list of 10 self-defense weapons you can take with you on your next trip. You may even think about buying these tools for your daily life – you never know when you might need them! Why not Estban? This is obviously not considered a safe area, and it would be a warning to others.
Prevent them from carrying pepper spray or other weapons if they know crime is endemic in that area. So, given the circumstances. Can Germany start producing its own nuclear weapons? I think that this situation that I have just invented in my head totally justifies it. The only categories of persons legally entitled to bear arms are judges, legislators, the armed forces and certain categories of diplomats. In any case, a psychological examination is necessary beforehand.

Often referred to as “criminal identifier” sprays, they do not contain any harmful substances or chemicals and are not intended to harm others. Rather, sprays are meant to mark an attacker with a visible, invisible marker dye. The visible dye often takes at least 7 days to dissolve.
All of this, because when you see such high-profile cases/horrific stories of police officers on both sides kidnapping, raping and killing women, to female policewomen being attacked and murdered alone in rural areas like Kent, here in Britain recently with all the other cases that could have been prevented. if they had had a legal NFT authorized and approved by the government, pepper spray for extreme measures in extreme situations.
