The Basic Weapons Awareness & Recognition Course is not intended to teach the student the law relating to ‘Weapons’. This is due to its complexity and the breadth of legislation the trainer and the student would have to cover to do the subject justice.
However, the course does show and explain the various types of weapons and includes; made, adapted, intended & disguised. The emphasis on the course is on ‘personal and public safety’.
Remember that the carrying of any type of weapon in a public place or indeed anywhere without a good and valid reason is inviting trouble and is illegal.
