I say old chap, not sure that gun you’re holding is quite cricket. We have laws here, you know!

And the spray can be ignited to create a flame thrower

I guess it would have some kind of plastic barrel tip should it actually be needed for use in the rain.

I think there should be serious limits to the reach, weight, and sharpness of the umbrellas that citizens are allowed carry. Certainly they have no business with military style umbrellas.

A mere 4 miles from Luton

But would hunting umbrellas be OK?

[elcid1970]

Poor bloody disarmed Brits. I don’t plan on going there, not ever.

Why should I travel when I’m already here?

;^)

[Heart-Rest]

Yeah, and if it starts to rain and you go to open it up, you have to be careful you don’t shoot some kind bird out of the sky...

[katana]

Only if it's this umbrella, sword included.

[JBW1949]

Yep...Even if it only looks like an “Assault Umbrella”, it should be illegal...

[Harpotoo]

Looks like the Avengers are needed!

[Rurudyne]

“He brought car keys to an umbrella fight....”

[Heart-Rest]

Here's an alternate model, which could eliminate that problem with the tip in the rain...

[Sacajaweau]

IIRC, no handguns in UK.

[jimbug]

The British government should be forced to watch Clockwork Orange until they give their citizens Second Amendment freedoms.

Umbrellas and keys--how pathetic.

[miss marmelstein]

One of the funniest moments in the play/movie Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Of course it would be difficult to use once the canopy is open. One of those clear vinyl canopies would be better suited.

[silverleaf]

Economically challenged white yobs?

[ObozoMustGo2012]

LOL!!! I knew their would be a Penguin pic here!!!
