Pepper spray legal in Denmark as of January 2019 “to increase security of citizens”
Voice of Europe ^ | 12/28/18

From January, private individuals in Denmark will be allowed to possess and use pepper spray if they are subjected to an assault.

In Sweden, however, it is still prohibited, which means that, particularly women feel more insecure than they would otherwise do.

The Ministry of Justice in Denmark states that the purpose of lifting the ban is to increase the security of the citizens.

The Danish society, like the Swedish, is plagued by a large number of assault crimes, including personal robberies and rapes, and the need for individual citizens to be able to defend themselves has increased.

In Sweden, however, pepper sprays will continue to be illegal. The ban affects women in particular, where the demand for defense spray has increased as assault rape has become increasingly common.

Swedish Women now have to settle for other kinds of sprays that are not as effective, or commit a crime by buying pepper sprays illegally on the Internet.

You might be on to something. If porcine products are Islamic kryptonite then make a pig urine aerosol.

It is laughable and completely absurd that any nation of people accept the notion that a government can prohibit or grant the natural right of self defense! No one grants me the right to preserve my life.

Pepper spray does not prevent a rape. It merely moves the rape 100 yards down the road to a victim who does not have one.

That is why women should carry guns and know when and how to use them.

The motto of the Singapore Rifle Association, founded in 1862 and the oldest club in Singapore, is "Accuracy, Discipline, Marksmanship"

Accuracy: you hit what you aim at.
Marksmanship: you know what to aim at.
Discipline: you know when to shoot.

You can join at 12, and, as they say on their website: We have never ever had a safety incident at the Singapore Rifle Association and fully intend to keep it that way.

Europe please copy.
