Change the law to allow public to carry and use pepper spray for self-defence

Summary

Legalise carrying and using pepper spray for self-defence from age 16 or 18, with approved types only used against immediate threats. The Secretary of State should regulate standards, sales, and storage, and set penalties for misuse. This could ensure safety while protecting personal security. I urge the government to legalise pepper spray for personal self-defence. Citizens over sixteen or eighteen should be allowed to carry approved pepper spray to protect themselves against imminent threats. Proper regulation by the Secretary of State could ensure safety and responsible use, with clear rules for possession and penalties for misuse. This law could empower individuals to guard their safety while maintaining public order and oversight.
