Legalize the means to carry/use pepper spray for vulnerable people.
The decriminalisation of carrying pepper spray as a means of safety and defence to suppress a violent situation.
As it currently stands, if found with pepper spray on a person could have you arrested and a criminal record.
To actually have a physical use of force to protect yourself from a violent situation, in the UK we are only permitted to use a 'criminal identifier' spray which only marks a target on a person without a means to stop them.
