So, your in your bedroom and suddenly you hear somone starts smashing against your front door

List your immediate course of action from this point:

Mine is;

Scenario 1;

*Phone the Police asap
*Grab 8 lbs sledge hammer from under my bed
*Wait next to my bedroom door which will be locked.
*If he starts trying to open the door i would shout and tell him to get the fuck out
*If he starts smashing against the door i would wait with the sledge hammer in both hands.
*As soon as the door busted open and i see the intruder i would swing the fucking sledge hammer full force towards the guys head, if i made contact he would be fucking out cold no doubt about it, then i would run outside my house into the street and wait for the police.

Scenario 2:

*Front door smashed i call police.
*If he starts trying to open my door i jump out my windor (first floor bedroom) with my sledge hammer and run down the street like a maniac.

Most likely thing i would do- Scenario 2

Illegal in the UK my friend, we cannot even own Samurai Swords, so we have to either chose old Celtic Broadswords or Big sledgehammers. And your not supposed to own any dangerous object with the intent of using it to defend yourself in the event of a break in.

Rip off my shirt, give the burglar a most muscular pose and watch him run off like the cowardly rat that he is.

In that case I think a sledge hammer is the next best thing.

The sad thing about the UK is that even if you smashed the guy with the sledgehammer,

it would be you that gets carted off to prison for "excessive force"

The law is totally backwards here.

I really just don't get that. Someone breaks into your home, endangering you and/or you family and you are supposed to do what? Offer him some tea?

Tell them I post on Getbig, watch them beg for mercy for establishing my dominance, and then have them do some chores around the house. Probably washing my car or taking out the trash.

It's funny. I live in York and I was just arguing with a Scottish friend of mine about gun control and what have you...Brits tend to be pretty obsessive about it.

lol, basically unless hes showing "intent" to hurt you and not just steal some shit you cant use any force that would injure him.

edit: we can actually own samuai swords but they must be hand forged(more expensive) and your not allowed to sharpen them.

That said most places in the UK are a lot safer than most places in the US.

It's pathetic.

The whole legal system here is on the side of the criminal
England has been completely pussy whipped.

A few years ago 2 guys broke into a farmers house and the famer shot them, killing one of them.

he was charged with murder....
Life in Prison
It was a very famous case here in the UK
