Legalise the possession of pepper spray for self-defence

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Legalise the possession of pepper spray for personal carry. Women are harassed, and attacked in the UK on a huge scale, often having to walk with keys between their fingers as a defense weapon. Pepper spray offers a non-lethal, distanced defense, and deterrent from attacks on lone women

Legalise the sale and possession of approved and regulated pepper sprays, with personal licencing if needs be. If licencing is needed it must come at no cost to the holder, as critical personal safety cannot hold a price
