Make it legal to carry self defence products such as pepper spray in the UK.

Petition Details

Women in particular but not exclusively aren’t feeling safe to walk the streets alone. Could be coming home from work/visiting a friend. Coming into darker days of winter making such a thing legal for self defence purposes would be a huge deterrent for anyone willing to attempt any kinds of attacks.

Additional Information

CCTV, police patrols aren’t enough and cannot guarantee women’s safety and we should feel safe and able to live a life without fear this would prevent attacks, deaths and people resorting to carrying illegal weapons. I fully believe this will force a safer community for all. Currently being able to spray a coloured dye (not even clarified to be legal either) is not enough and not being enforced. Unfortunately you can’t see into people’s minds/their intentions but we can control self defence aids.
