Perhaps the offer of a nice cup of tea and a chat would also help in a crisis situation of this sort; you know, 'before you clean the place out and leave my family for dead, do you take milk and sugar?' ....but not in the good china, than you very much.



I own a couple of air rifles, but there's not a chance I'd use 'em for beating off an intruder, not unless I want to get shares in Tampax and free accommodation with the nations finest Travelodge.
You have to be carefull here also what you do to the intruder, if you dont want to go in jail. Atleast we can get guns, not just criminals and goverment. Though after the school shooting politicians have made populistic statements about gun ownership. Most likely they will atleast take guns away from under 18 yrs olds, pressed by EU.
