It has been firmly established that you may not defend yourself with a gun

or a knife

or a rock

or a pointy stick

or your hands.

For a while there it looked like you might be able to use a shotgun if you were in a rural area and had been robbed repeatedly but if that's not gone it will be soon.

Remember, you are supposed to trust in the Crown and wait for the Police to arrive. You are specifically not to put barbed wire up around your garden.

No no, it doesn't matter that you have had a weeks' wages worth of tools stolen and repeatedly had your hard-won crops destroyed.

Because, you see, a thief who was trespassing might scratch himself climbing your fence and sue the local council. No, don't lock your shed, either, because they will just damage it breaking in. In fact, how about you just take a ten stone of tools home with you every day and then bring them back to use, because they will just be stolen.

But yes, do trust the Crown and believe that the Police will protect you. Even though they didn't the first 4 times this year. Sure.

Britons, how long will you put up with this "government?"

For perspective, in the USA, if the landholder wants to sit and wait, armed, for a thief and shoots him dead for trespassing, in some places that's a pat on the back from the local Sheriff. It is, however, generally preferred to make them lie face-down in the dirt at gunpoint, so they can be arrested. We also are largely free to use "razor wire" which is like barbed wire but has razor blades interspersed between the barbs. It is designed to rip someone to shreds who tries to breach the perimeter. That's one of the differences between being a Citizen and a Subject.
