Why would ANYONE want to enter a house in Canada? What's the point? There is nothing there to take.

Anyone else having problems with viewing the video clip?

Sorry, what are you trying to say here? I'm not sure I understand.

Why bother. There is nothing there- NOTHING.

The person is in Canada so why do it?

Was just pulling your leg. Your little one. The one that is rarely erect, if ever. :p

So you can bury my balls [golf balls] next to the old bag [golf bag]? Is that what you are saying?

Being in the UK, this is a contentious issue, and has resulted in a few trials whenever anyone has shot an intruder in their home. However, whereas popular opinion has generally supported the defender, the law generally makes an example of them and bangs them up in jail, usually to much outcry from the press.

Personally, if I was on a jury on a case like that, I'd recommend they get a medal rather than a custodial sentence, but there you go. From that you can probably gather that if anyone comes into my home uninvited, I'd regard them as fair game for anything they got, which they would most assuredly have asked for.

So with that said, I have several weapons in my house and have taught my wife how to use them too. Most of them are of the fairly non-lethal variety, i.e powerful air-weapons, rather than firearms, including one that can repeat fire fairly rapidly, which is the one I've told my wife to use in an emergency, and I told her to go for headshots too. There is particularly nasty rifle though, should the situation warrant it, as well as an extremely powerful (300lb pull) crossbow with a telescopic sight which would probably do more damage than the pistol, but is obviously a one shot deal as it takes a few seconds to reload (we keep it in the bedroom with a bolt in it, but uncocked, and there are weapons distributed throughout the house in various locations, so that we could always get to one). However, if, and it's a big if, we had to use lethal force, it would be the crossbow we'd use as it is pretty accurate out to about 150 yards.

I hope I never have to use any of them, but I'm quite prepared to if it comes to defending my wife or myself, and I am a good shot too, being a member of a field target shooting club, where I usually shoot tiny (coin sized) targets outside at fairly long ranges.

But, the first line of defence in our house is the fact that we have eight dogs, including Dave, my huge German Shepherd Dog. I wouldn't feck with him if I were an intruder:rotfl:

Got a nice wrecking bar under the bed, with a sharp hooked end. Would fit nice and snug under an intruders jawbone.

I have a lock on my door. If they get past that they can take what they want, thats what insurance is for.

I'm not fearful of someone coming in to my apartment and attacking me, its inconceivable.
