End the Ban: Legalise Non-Lethal Self-Defence for Safer UK Streets Now.

Summary

We call upon the Government to amend existing legislation to create a new category for regulated non-lethal personal defence items. This framework must allow law-abiding citizens to legally carry effective mechanisms solely for self-defence, without fear of criminal prosecution. The law criminalises carrying self-defence items, leaving citizens vulnerable to rising violent crime and random attacks. While 'reasonable force' is permitted, the law prohibits the non-lethal tools necessary for viable defence, particularly against knife crime. ​We are not calling for concealed weaponry, but for legal, regulated non-lethal options, such as defence sprays. This change will empower the public to protect themselves and restore confidence in their right to their personal safety.
