New proposals are being considered to allow individuals experiencing stalking or facing credible threats the legal right to carry pepper spray. Currently, pepper spray is largely restricted in the country, but lawmakers are exploring exceptions for vulnerable individuals. The aim is to provide a means of self-defense for those at risk, offering a layer of protection not currently available. Details regarding permitting processes and specific criteria for eligibility are still being developed. Supporters argue this measure empowers victims and potentially deters stalkers. Opponents raise concerns about potential misuse and the escalation of violence. The plan is currently under review and subject to further debate and legal scrutiny.
