that’s disgusting that they made you throw it away. Women should be allowed the choice of having something to keep them safe. If we lived in America we’d be actively encouraged to carry it with us.For those who considered pepper spray, please don't. Reason being is i work stupid hours and walk home at 3am/4am as i don't drive and don't have a colleague to take me home. I had pepper spray on me as well as a personal alarm. One day police was patroling the area and stopped to ask me what i was doing (I was walking home after my shift) they saw my pepper spray and asked me to discard it as its classed as an offensive weapon. Had i used it then i would be the one in trouble.
I've bought a Ring doorbell managed to get one for £59.99 in sale. If thats too much money you do have option to pay monthly on Amazon products. I have yet to use it as it only arrived this week.
