And in water there is health.....


above post edited by me because I thought it needed it.  Sorry.....

It did - thank you!

That is the very reason we will NEVER call the old bill if we catch someone breaking in, much less hardship (and less of a burden to the otherwise law abiding taxpayer) to rectify the problem "in house".

About the only line that needs adding to that snippet of news if that you are going to threaten a burglar/mugger/whatever with a weapon (although threats are daft because it simply forewarns).....make sure you....

1. Know how to use it.
2. Don't hesitate to use it.

Agreed, otherwise it's a waste of time

Or sneak out of the front door while they are trying to break in at the read, and educate them with a 3' length of 2x4 and then tell the police it must have fallen off the roof.  :-/

And be careful after playing console games.

Luckily I do not have a FAL or AK47 (game 1), nor a nice set of hidden blades (game 2)

It appears that the police were wrong in giving her such a warning. A retraction has been published, this all needs clarifying though.

What is reasonable force?

A big knife is a scary and dangerous weapon.  But if you want to frighten the intruders away, you need to use a scary and dangerous weapon.  Not much point in waving a fly swatter or a feather duster at them, as the likelihood that they will fall over and die laughing is very small.

I don't do "brave" - never have - but in the same circumstances, from the safety of my double-locked, double-glazed house, I too would endeavour to divert the intruders.  Realistically, the law ain't going to turn up in time to have any useful effect, unless they happen to be outside you front door when you call 999.

Even then they still wouldent get there in time,talk about half soaked.

A 3' length of timber is going to require an absolute minimum of 6' free space to take a swing, and there is no guarantee that the target will still be in the same spot when the wood should be making contact.
