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.
Legalizing SIGs and Glocks would work better.
Perhaps one might want to consider the efficacy of making certain political religions illegal instead of thinking pepper spray is the answer to anything.
I think I read recently here on FR that the Danes were starting to do some serious deportations of their “muslim guests!”
Is that pepper spray Halal?
They are going to dump them on a small island.

“They are going to dump them on a small island.”
Let’s hope its one that is only visible at high tide, or perhaps is used as a gunnery range!
Good for Denmark!
An enterprising marketer would sell a spray combining pepper spray and pig’s blood.
Just print it on the can. .001 micro-kroner of paint, and Bob's Your Uncle...
We are talking about a 7th century cult that still believes in djinns, that killing infidels will buy you entrance to some weird pedophile sexual paradise, and screwing your 7 year old sister to keep the family wealth intact...
Definitely cut down on repeat offenders if proper gun control is exercised by the potential victim .... 3 or 4 shots to center mass.
“Pepper spray legal in Denmark as of January 2019 “to increase security of citizens””
How white of you. How about .38’s you pussy pukes?
Why would pepper spray be illegal in the first place?
Might as well fart in the wind.
Legalize CCW w/ real firearms.
Pepper spray.
Morons.
It is the cult of the deliberately unarmed.
Once people have made a decision to deliberately be unarmed, the thought of anyone being armed, in anyway is difficult to abide.
It shows their decision may have been faulty. Maybe the State is not omniscient and capable of protecting them from evil.
Maybe they should learn self defense? Maybe evil exists!
Once people decide to be unarmed, they often do not want others to be armed.
Of course, governments like their peasants disarmed, as well.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA, why not carry a toy gun that projects a flag when activated that sez back off or ill get mad
How magnanimous of them to recognize their right to protect themselves.
Spraying a few bullets would work a lot better...
