Defence

Summary

Change the law in order to allow members of the British public to carry non lethal self defence items such as pepper spray without fear of prosecution. The increase in violent crime in the UK is now unacceptable and people should be able to walk the streets knowing they are able to defend themselves against attackers without the fear of a criminal conviction for doing so.
