This is very interesting to me! Finally, a possibility that British people might be able to defend themselves!

An MP whose house was burgled while his family and visitors slept has called for homeowners to be allowed to arm themselves with Taser stun guns.
Thieves broke into the home of Conservative Monmouth MP David Davies, stealing passports and £300 in cash.
He said he felt violated by the crime and wanted householders to be allowed to use police electronic stun guns.
Victim Support said while people should be able to use reasonable force, they should call 999.
Mr Davies's Fiat Punto was used as a getaway car by the thieves who broke in through a downstairs window at his house in his constituency early on Sunday.
He was asleep upstairs along with his wife Aliz 27, and children Sophie, two, and Dominic, three months
The burglar alarm was turned off because the MP's sister-in-law and her boyfriend, who were visiting, were sleeping downstairs.
The thieves got away without disturbing the family but Mr Davies said he believed they armed themselves with a knife they found in the kitchen.

In a statement, Gwent Police said it did not support householders arming themselves with Tasers "or any other type of weapon in order to protect their property".
How crap is that!!! :idunno:
