I think, justifiably, there would be a feeling that chopping someone's head off might be going further than is strictly necessary for pure self defence.

But anyway, I'm from Texas and it's legal to shoot an intruder if they're on your property.

Of course, this is not exactly true... as a certain Brazilian electrician might have been able to testify, if he had not been shot to death on a tube train while unarmed and having not committed any crime by an entire squad of armed police.
The UK has more violent crime per capita than the US, and a lower murder rate (and much more restricted gun ownership)
