UK homeowner arrested for defending himself and his wife with a shotgun

As many of us here know, in UK you have no right to use deadly force if you are attacked. In fact, you very well may go to jail yourself if you do.

A man was arrested yesterday for defending himself and his wife against a home intruder but has not yet been charged:

Yup; and this is exactly where all the anti-gun nuts would like the U.S. to be. England was a great country; even a great empire once but they've sold their souls for the promise of a few pieces of gold (and didn't even get the gold).

I wonder how many shots he took? Two injured sounds like good work

Yup, we have to do everything we can to not let America end up like the U.K. The minute we decide that we have won the fight is the same minute we will lose our right to defend ourselves with our firearms. We have to be vigilant.

I believe you are right. Can't think of a good "sheeple" comment, but stupid sheeple. :0)
