I don't really see the issue. People have every right to defend there homes from intruders imho.

Anthony Walsh · 19-07-2010 03:37PM

At last, it brings a tear to my eye. It is what I always wanted for xmas.

zuroph · 19-07-2010 03:37PM

awesome, I'm bringing anyone I kill back to my house, breaking a window, putting a stripey top on them and placing a bag marked "SWAG" in their hands..

Murder Defending your home against armed robbers set to be legalised by xmas

Fixed your title

Santa's gonna be fcuked this year.

genericguy · 19-07-2010 03:39PM

that's not murder. what would you do OP - make a junkie a cup of tea and try to talk to him about the error of his ways? if someone broke into my house they'd be getting a broken bottle up their arse.

this is actually the first useful/progressive legislative change this useless cnut has presided over.

merely re-states the law, and defines what reasonable force can be used.

However, it will allow a person use a firearm if they believe a burglar is armed and refused to retreat.

All's fair in love and burglary ... about time they brought in laws to protect the home owner

Wossack · 19-07-2010 03:44PM

thread fails to deliver

Pace2008 · 19-07-2010 03:44PM

I'm pretty sure the OP's being tongue-in-cheek.

Daemos · 19-07-2010 03:44PM

Xmas huh? We still have 990 years so

Naos · 19-07-2010 03:44PM

And we're allowed to use firearms if the burgular is armed, interesting.

Holsten · 19-07-2010 03:44PM

Brilliant, finally the goverment does something good for once.

If somone breaks into your home they forfit their rights.

ejmaztec · 19-07-2010 03:44PM

Is it okay if we have a pre-emptive strike on a prospective burglar's property, and kill him at source, on the grounds that he might rob us in the future? We then won't have our living-rooms messed up with chalk lines, blood and body-parts.

fontanalis · 19-07-2010 03:45PM

High Salami
You yourself canhelp reduce the muder rate? How you ask with a large smile? By announcing to all burglars your home address and by stating the hours you will be vacant. That way burglars get to burglarise without fear of being hurt and other home owners don't get burglarised.

epgc3fyqirnbsx · 19-07-2010 03:45PM

This is just giving statutory footing to what was a an accepted reasoning process all along.

Talk about a silly thread title

danniemcq · 19-07-2010 03:48PM

At least this new law/redesign law means that if a scumbag is breaking into your house and cuts himself on the window he just broke he can't can't sue you.

That was quite possibly the most idiotic law ever passed. I'll tell you one thing i don't care what the law was before this or if it doen't come into effect till christmas, anyone breaking into my house i'm taking no chances and gonna clobber with the stick i used going up Croagh Patrick or anything else i have lying around till my arms are sore. Then i'll kick them.

So what you need is a firearm registered to you.
You also need an unregistered/ stolen firearm to place beside the burgular after you shoot him/ her.

This thread title is a dissappointment - I had my enemies list ready and everything

About bloody time.

Thankfully i have never been burgled, but know ppl who have.
They loose much more than what burglers take.
They loose sense of security and safety in their own home.

If i am ever in any situtaion where i take action to defend myself, my family or my friends in the face of an attack of whatver nature i am not going to stop to consider legal implications of what i'm instincivly going to do.

if someone, of their own free will, breaks into my house and threatens me or my family, who is intent on stealing and who may be prepared to harm me or my family in the process, then i dont think that person should be allowed the legal right to leave unharmed.

uwala · 19-07-2010 03:52PM

AFAIK, in any countries that have brought this in, the burglars have merely armed themselves.

As5hole Dermot Ahern once again trying to make a name for himself before he eventually tries for Taoiseach.

John Ward. We salute you.

jester77 · 19-07-2010 03:53PM

Sounds like the OP might have to make a career change

caseyann · 19-07-2010 03:55PM

I would have anyway if someone threatened my family anywhere use what ever means needed to protect them.
