What kind of self-defense weapons are allowed in Denmark? Asking on behalf of a friend.

And before I get people saying Denmark is a safe country, let me just say, not in this friend's unfortunate experience.

None!

You can apply to carry a peberspray, but you need a real reason to have you application accepted.

Go to Germany and buy a "dog spray" to carry in your purse if you're worried about getting attacked.

Or this

Thank you! I'll forward this info to my friend. You're a saint.

Anything you allow people to carry in self defense, you enable the other guy to carry for your mugging.

The guys mugging already carries weapons. So then what?

Counter question, we allow you to carry whatever he was carrying. He is now carrying something double worse, and because of our enabling, their organization has grown. So then what?

I used to believe the same thing. Sadly it seems violent crime happens even without weapons, and then the victims have no way to defend themselves.

Pepper spray. I think that's it. You can't carry around a knife, knuckles, any kind of cudgel or anything. It's all illegal, at least without a permit. You may even need a permit to carry pepper spray. Look it up on the Danish police's website.

Also, Denmark is still a safe country, even though your friend had a bad experience.

Said friend lives in Denmark and is afraid to go outside, so the country's general safety doesn't matter here.

It is not legal to carry, for the ordinary person.

None.

You must understand that we never had a revolution or long fight for freedom. The king simply couldn't be bothered to be sovereign anymore.

No freedom here has ever been bought with blood, so we (imo) don't care too much about the upholding of our rights and safety, instead naively entrusting such things entirely to the state.

I personally think our current state is like living without any form of insurances. Might be worth it right now, but if shit hits the fan we'll be utterly fucked.

The king had eyes and noticed all his cousins getting their heads chopped off and decided he wasn't gonna risk it.

I think a "tactical pen" is legal, but not sure.

Besides that I would say wrestling 😊

Hmm that sounds interesting, I'll look into it thank you.

None obviously…

Name a weapon that can only be used for self defense?

If you get caught in possession of a weapon, I believe the minimum sentence is 4-6 months in prison.

Okay, you have to explain what the hell happened to your friend, since you would need a fucking weapon

I don't want to spill all the details, but this friend has nobody to talk to, doesn't trust the police based on past experiences with the same topic, and has recently experienced some very very bad stuff. I've tried convincing them to talk to someone but there's nothing that can be done about that.

Technically it's not illegal to carry lets say 100 kroner worth in 50 øre in a sock and then tie a knot on it. Unfortunately it's a bit heavy, but you can get some really good hits in with very little force.

It is also legal to have on of the devices that sounds a very loud alarm, some of them can't even be shut off unless deactivated by app or fingerprint.

I'm pretty sure you are allowed to carry a small pocket knife outside of so called visitations zoner (areas where you can get searched randomly) and ofcourse bars clubs and other places where a knife logically shouldn't be brought.

Would never recomend a knife for self defense though as the saying goes : the attacker might die on the streets but you will die in the hospital.

I personally always carry a small knife on my person for utility uses here and there but I have never reached for it in a self defense situation as I am not remotely trained for that scenario.

The only legal thing I can think of would be a high candela flashlight and some good running shoes.
