BUT I do think it's ridiculous we can't legally carry non-lethals such as pepperspray or tasers. Self defence should be enabled for the most vulnerable, and all the weapons shouldn't be in the hands of criminals.
I believe I called for that in the thread about Sarah Everard, that probably everybody but certainly females should be able to carry things like pepper spray.

There would be abuses of that law too just like there are of guns in America, but again I think the pro's would outweigh the cons for that to be a deterent.
