<<Having to chant "Hare Krishna" in an effort to defend
yourself in your own home illustrates the pathetic level
our "right" of self defence in the UK has descended.>>
What weapon do you think would have been effective in this case?
A firearm?
A baseball bat?
CS or pepper spray?
A cattle prod?
A plastic shield such as the police use?
A clothes prop?
A rottweiler?
Our right to self defence has not descended anywhere. I repeat.......ad
nauseum....you all have a right to self defence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It just so happens that firearms are not available for self defence. If a
firearm had been used in this case, then, provided it was legally held for
say, clay shooting, then no jury in a million years would convict someone
using it. Don't delude yourself.
The law only restricts self defence as being a good reason for possession.

The law does not restrict self defence as being a "good reason",
Home Office Guidance does. Home Office Guidance even points out
that the police _should_ not issue certificates for that purpose,
it does not say they can't. A small but important point.
