Not in Britain, not anymore in an effective way. You cannot carry a weapon with you.
If you are targeted by multiple assailants, or people bigger, younger, tougher - well too bad, so sad.
The State’s desire for a disarmed population trumps all else.
Yobs without jobs
Effectively, yes.
And that's why I'm not in UK. In WV I can carry my SIG-Sauer openly, or concealed, without having to ask permission from Big Nanny Gummint.
I hope they mean “stick the bumbershoot up the bad guy’s butt and open it”. Because that would actually make some sense.
That’s how hubby uses wasp spray. He burns the nests when he finds one.
The non-violent people have been disarmed, while the violent criminals haven’t.
Ban Umbrellas. Get those dangerous weapons off the streets.
If they are going to concede the point that the police can’t protect citizens and so citizens need to arm themselves, they’ve lost the gun control battle. Why should a 75 year old woman have to arm herself with keys and an umbrella to fend off a 200 pound 20 year old thug? Why shouldn’t she have the right to level the playing field with a gun?
I have something even better to fight back with...my Glock 23, with two spare mags. That gives me 40 chances to neutralize any threat.
(Plenty more videos like that out there on youtube, and there are many books and dvd's on those subjects available on Amazon, for anyone who might be interested.)How to Use an Umbrella as a Weapon | Self-Defense

Britain seems to have the worst cops in the West.
Since this is New jersey and I'm not well enough connected to obtain a carry permit, when I am forced to walk through a sketchy area I hold my keys in my left hand with an inch or so of several protruding between my fingers. If I am assaulted the target is the side of the neck of the assailant, the brachial plexus.
Question: If I am attacked and respond as planned, and the assailant is killed, is it a case of premeditated homicide?
the terrorists win unless we ban umbrellas. But the least we can do is make sure umbrella use is limited to the very minimum. If you are against that then your worse than Hitler.
May some entrepreneurs should invent an umbrella that fires bullets!!! It could be a huge seller!!!
They'll go down. Oh yes they will...
