Allow citizens to carry pepper-sprays, and use it ONLY IN SELF DEFENCE.
It’s time to let UK citizens protect themselves! Every day, innocent people especially women walk the streets feeling unsafe. Allowing pepper spray for self-defence would give us a non-lethal, responsible way to deter attackers, and save lives. We deserve the right to feel safe within the law!
Citizens of the UK deserve the right to protect themselves safely. Pepper spray is a non-lethal tool used worldwide to stop attackers and prevent violence. Current laws leave many, especially women, defenceless. We need sensible regulation, not prohibition. Sign this petition to support legal, responsible self-defence with pepper spray — for safety, freedom, and peace of mind!
