Petition Make the carrying and use of self defence weapons legal for woman in the U.K.

In the UK it's illegal to own, carry or use self defence weapons such as CS gas or pepper spray. Statistics for violent and sexual crimes are on the rise with more woman being attacked each day. A system needs to be put in place where woman can legally own, carry and use self defence weapons.
