Where do you get a pepper spray from as well?
I can only assume that our powers-that-be, don't worry too much about rape.
Of course, although it is illegal there are ways and means. You can make your own and carry it about quite legally. I think some have posted examples on here.

Sorry...acronym for Law Enforcement Officer.
Here in Canada you can purchase pepper spray legally as its sold as "bear repellant". My 87 yr old mother carries a canister in her purse.

Hair spray though, for example, is likely to be seen as something a woman might reasonably have in her handbag, but a rapist?
