I was living on a "small holding" in 2005 when my home was invaded multiple times in escalating fashion by the same gang, who ultimately shot and killed a neighbour and tried to kill us. Shots were fired. They cut our electric cable and surrounded the cottage, then kicked their way in through the window. I carried a weapon unlicensed for quite some time during this period, before we had to evacuate the house. They trashed it completely when we weren't there one night. Smashed, torn to shreds, broken and robbed. We were escorted off the property by private security. I know how alert one becomes. Sorry Sister!
Sounds just like here. The only ones with guns are the criminals. Innocent civilians have no right to protect and defend. They dissuade joe public from owning firearms.
