Make pepper spray legal in the U.K. to carry as protection

Background

Make pepper spray legal for protection of all U.K. Citizens

Additional details

Within the current climate of this country many more attacks are happening in the streets of the U.K. and people are not legally entitled to defend themselves. Attacks including sexual assaults are continuing to rise each year and unfortunately by the time police arrive it’s too late. It seems unfair police can carry it but not citizens and if it was to be made legal people could feel safer and not able to defend themselves should an attack arise. It’s non lethal and at the time could save lives
