I was just wondering, if someone breaks into your house while you are in it, what does the law say you are allowed to do to stop them?
Are you allowed to beat them senseless? Break their legs so they cant get away?
Say you have a registered weapon in your house, such as a pistol. If you catch the person in the act, what are you allowed to do? Can you shoot them in the leg?
What if they come at you with a weapon e.g. a baseball bat or a crowbar, are you allowed to kill them?
This has always worried me, because if the situation did arise in my house, I'd like to know what I can and cant do, so that I'm not worrying about that while trying to defend my family and my possessions.
