Allow Women from 18+ to carry a form of protection. i.e pepper spray. — 6 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Allow Women from the ages of 18+ to carry pepper spray as a form of protection for self defence against predators and abusers.

Additional details

With the rising numbers of assault/ sexual assault against women and children and the appalling rate of which men are being caught and sentenced, I feel it fair to allow women to carry pepper spray as not only will it make women feel safer but also hopefully deter abusers/predators from attacking when they are faced with the possibility of a painful and uncomfortable retaliation. The idea of a woman carrying pepper spray will be far more feared than jail time as that rarely ever happens.
