I sell Samurai swords in Birmingham UK. Here in England we have a saying, “an English mans home is his castle”, so as far as I`m concerned you should use what ever force you need to be it with a kitchen knife, sword or gun to defend your castle. Sod all existing laws because if my family were in danger I know what measures I would take to protect them. Fair play to those in Florida!

Many states are extending this ability to defend your home into the general open area. I know in GA you can defend your house and yourself ANYWHERE using deadly force. I have spoken to members of law enforcement and they have told me that as long as I think and can reasonably show that I THOUGHT my life was in danger, I have the right to use deadly force anywhere. I carry concealed and would have no problems utilizing this new law. The best part is that the more criminals know that they can be shot on the spot anywhere …. maybe they will think twice.. Then again, if they come in my house they have to get by the Rhodesian and Lab/Pit first anyways… yes, I am country.

Damian is one of my homies. I’ve defended my self with my very own swords, but not agaisnt burglars; but people trying to mess with friends. And Trevor and Havoc have a point, they are violating your residence and are therefore fair game under home protection laws, so you DO have the right to do what he did.

Props to you my man!

In the good ole US of A if someone is burgling your house you are legally entitled to blow their head off if you so choose. They are violating your residence and are therefore fair game under home protection laws. Best security system in the world is the sound of a 12 gauge pump shotgun being racked. Swords will do in a pinch though.

@Dave:
You are incorrect. Especially in Florida, many states have the “castle doctrine”, which dictates many things, including the fact that you are not obliged to allow someone to take your things. You have the right to defend yourself, your loved ones, and your stuff.

Plus, this is an easy one. Two, minors. Two adult thieves. They were the underdogs.

Way to go! If more thieves knew that we’d protect ourselves, maybe they’d only steal from each other.

Yeah.

Except for that whole “you can’t defend personal property with lethal force” thing.
