Section 5(1)(b) of the Firearms Act 1968 prohibits any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid or gas. Because Farbgel spray does not contain any noxious substances and the can itself is not designed to discharge a noxious substance, it is not prohibited by the Firearms Act.

As these products look like conventional pepper sprays and are designed to discharge a jet of liquid under pressure (like a pepper spray), they may be confused for prohibited weapons by law enforcement personnel and, in the past, we have seen such items submitted for forensic testing. Forensic testing laboratories, which are UKAS accredited, will be able to determine that these items do not contain a noxious substance, however ‘testing’ may be conducted by the police themselves, who in most cases are not accredited or equipped to conduct these tests, and misidentification may occur. scenario 1: someone threatens to beat you up if you don't give them your wallet. You give them your wallet, and as they are about to run away, you spray their skin with farb gel so they can be identified later. In addition to factory produced sprays, there is sometimes confusion over items such as washing up bottles or water pistols filled with noxious liquids. In the stated cases of R v Upton and Formosa [1990] and R v Titus [1971], it was decided on appeal that items such as these were neither originally “designed” for discharging a noxious substance, nor, as they had in no way been modified, to be considered “altered” and therefore these did not fit the description given in Section 5(1)(b) of the Firearms Act 1968. They were therefore not to be considered firearms and instead a charge under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 should have been considered.Since the abduction and murder of Sarah Everard, there have been calls for the legalisation of pepper spray in the United Kingdom for self-defence purposes and a petition on Change.org currently has 47,445 signatures.

The reason that this act was enacted was due to the mass shooting at Dunblane Primary School in Scotland, which led to the deaths of many children.To stay within UK laws and regulations, guards shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns or weapons. The law would have to change to allow this, and it doesn’t look like that is going to happen any time soon, probably for good reason. While gun control laws are stringent in the UK, it is essential to note that gun crime in the country is also one of the lowest in the world.

One says it contains no irritants and is therefore not an offensive weapon so it is legal to use while another says that the intention to carry it outside for self defence is in itself illegal. This is extremely frightening to me that police officers can completely disagree on something that should have a lawful consensus. I don't want to be arrested simply because I was handled by a police officer with an opposing opinion. I have a huge fear of trying to follow the law as much as possible, but getting jailed for a tiny unintended understandable mistake simply because judges are "just following procedure".

I've recently discovered farb gel, the legal UK alternative to pepper spray. It contains no irritants that could inflict harm on a perpetrator, all it does is spray red goopy liquid on them which, when washed off, can still be seen under UV light for up to a week (very useful to correctly identify them afterwards). Although it is legal to carry and use properly, I am getting conflicting answers on UK police forums on its usage.

However, many people in the UK still do not realise that pepper sprays are covered by the Firearms Act 1968. Section 5(1)(b) of the Act classifies any weapon of whatever description, designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing as a prohibited firearm. Pepper sprays (in addition to CS sprays, Mace etc) contain substances such as oleoresin capsicum (known as OC), desmethyl dihydrocapsaicin (known as PAVA) and 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (known as CS) which cause an irritant effect and are deemed to be noxious by UK law.
