Make pepper spray legal
Pepper spray is a non-lethal self-defense tool that can help prevent attacks, especially on women at night. We urge the government to legalize its regulated sale and possession for personal safety.
Citizens deserve the right to defend themselves. Legalizing pepper spray gives a non-lethal, effective way to prevent attacks, especially against women, and reduces serious injuries.
