Legalise Carrying and Use of Pepper Spray for Self-Defence Purposes in the UK — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We call on Parliament to legalise adults carrying pepper spray for self-defence. Violent crime & knife attacks surge; citizens feel unsafe in the UK. Police are overstretched and lawlessness prevails. This non-lethal tool will help to restore public confidence and personal safety.

Additional details

Violent crime, knife attacks & public disorder have surged, leaving civilians—esp. women & elderly—unsafe. Police are overstretched; lawlessness prevails. Legalise pepper spray for self-defence: a non-lethal deterrent used safely elsewhere. Regulate with age limits, training & misuse penalties. Empower citizens, restore safety & confidence without risking public order.
