Legal to own in the uk

[warregoodbod-0]

Hi

Been looking at this 4000v cattle prod item from China on here but is it legal to own one and carry for dog walks to stop attacks as my dog has been attacked 3 times now on my estate and want to protect him and myself 

[stortclose]

Lots of unanswered questions in your post so have you thought this through?

😁  Just Googled  4000v cattle Prod

Do'nt Know If It's Legal, Carrying A Heavy Walking Sticks Ok

The best people to ask would be the local police.

Hi yes I don't want to buy something that's illegal in the UK.
Maybe a better question would be whether everything sold on here is legal
to own in the UK?

I think that carrying one of those in a public place might see you charged with being in possession of an offensive weapon. You might find watching this 7 minute video interesting:-

Goodness me, who are you looking to protect your dog from? And who has attacked you?

Who are you looking to stick the cattle prod into??

I wouldn't like to guarantee your cattle prod would clear customs if it's coming from China, it would probably be confiscated. 

I'm curious too, I have owned dogs all my life and have  never felt the need to carry a weapon when I take them out.

I take my dog out on my ebike at night and I am disabled plus have a badly
in broken leg. My estate is filled with smackheads and drug dealers,
thieves etc. I've been mugged and attacked and a local man has his dogs off
the lead and I have to go passed his house. where his dogs have attacked my
dog and me 3 times. I just want to know if it's legal to own and carry
otherwise I wouldn't ask the question ❓
Cheers

Oh that's terrible. But as TP suggests, the best place to ask is the police. I woudn't take anything on here as gospel.

Carrying a cattle prod in public is most definitely a criminal offence and might, even if it isn't, be classed as a firearm. I would assume establishments using these devices would be licenced to do so.

In the US tazers are able to be carried in public by civilians and are easily purchased. I have had the pleasure to be at the end of those probes, unpleasant.

Get yourself a small fire extinguisher or carry a jiffy lemon squeeze bottle, that will stop a dog. Be warned, though, that causing an injury with any chemicals would be a criminal offence, especially when predetermination comes into it. Either of these items would be classed as an offensive weapon when used as such.

If to carry the thing for selfprotection then it would be seen as an offensive weapon by the police
