I have a basic theory on home defense. Both armed and unarmed intruders are dealt with using a shotgun prepared specifically for the purpose of home defense. In the split second that an intruder is stunned by the beam of a tactical flashlight, a threat assessment can be made. If the intruder is not an immediate threat, he will be shot once. If the intruder is an immediate threat, all it takes is one quick pump to eject the beanbag and chamber a 00 buckshot shell.
Imagine, for a moment, that you are a robber standing on the sidewalk between two homes. On your right is a car in the driveway with a bumper sticker reading "Proud Member of the NRA." On your left is a car with the sticker reading "Guns Kill." Which house would you choose to rob? British law turns every house into the one on the left.
