Defense of others

[Gwion]

You appraise the situation and make a suitable decision as to course of action at the time.

'If someone comes into your backyard' is not enough to warrant the use of a weapon..... big stick or firearm - the courts would most probably string YOU up... unfortunately.

If someone comes into your backyard - WITH a weapon and threatens you and/or your family, its a different ball game.

I cant believe we need a thread to confirm to people that you can defend yourself..... maybe that's why we're a society of victims, who reach for the phone with the hope that (who they believe are their) protectors will arrive in time... and most shooters appear to believe that in 96 when the reasons for firearm ownership specifically EXCLUDED defence....that legally excluded the use for that reason...

Like to hypnosis stage show... the host says "You are a teapot!"..... "I am a teapot" you repeat as you outstretch your left arm and place your right arm to your hip...

If someone comes into our back yard I have a 6ft piece of tassie hardwood. I mean I know I can defend myself with it and at the end of the day it is just a big stick. If I was in public and someone else was getting attacked, I have no idea what I would do and hopefully will never know.

You would go for the groin.

Chop him in the throat. I have done this, and I thought they were going to die (they might), but they all lived.

And rip their eyeballs out.

All of these are reliable and proven. Knees and ears are also good.
