Should setting booby traps in your home be legal?

Crock Rock

Or simply killing an intruder.

The scumbags are the ones breaking in. Rightfully, they have nothing to complain about if the come unstuck.

Home Alone style.

But yeah, anyone breaking in should be fair game for anything. If they don’t like it then not breaking in is a simple way to avoid it.

Only if they contain real boobs.

What's mummy making for dinner?

Not only legal, but encouraged.

Everything metal should be electrified when you set your alarm for being out of the house.

No.

The burglar misses the trap, leaves the door open.
A garda/concerned neighbour goes in, the giant boulder squashes them.

Serves the nosey prick right for sticking their oar in. My booby traps are more effective than their nosiness will every be.

We should unironicly be allowed to own guns for the purpose of shooting intruders.

What's a deliberate booby trap though?

One could leave several upturned rakes on the kitchen floor quite absent mindedly

And what happens if your house is on fire and firemen are breaking into the house to save you?

These guys don’t think so ...

I've no doubt I'd come in pissed some night and forget to disable the boulder.

Plenty of females committing burglary

You could stretch a bra from one side of the door to the other, and put a rock in the middle, like a sort of slingshot.

That's a real booby trap.

I read booby traps and immediately thought of bras...must dig out my copy of 1984 Kays catalogue

Yes I'd love to have 40 litres of acidic drain cleaner ready to drop on someone coming in to the house , I would hear them before I would see them.

When one of my children was young they became quite enamoured with the idea of booby traps. The property was rural, forested, diverse, not a lawn or manicured. They would dig holes or make invisible trip lines and prop over coverings, like grass or leaves, proper SAS Handbook stuff. They thought it was brilliant and hilarious, I consideraby less so.

I hope you did the proper parenting thing and encouraged their creativeness in their hobby by buying them some claymores.
