I think most people would agree with you when it comes to protecting your property, they are just saying that the methods used could land you in trouble. I would say the best way would be to do it but not tell anyone.

Sounds logical, Mups. I never thought of that.

I have considered having a key safe so friends, GPs etc., could have access if I were ill or something. They would be OK during the day - but - at night I always use a bolt and a safety chain as well - so a key would be useless.

If that continues, it is quite possible that we shall follow the Americans (as we have done in so many other ways) in being allowed to use firearms in self-defence - only in our own homes.

I'd personally support that.
Didn't a farmer somewhere serve time in prison for shooting at a burglar? Cannot remember if he injured him or not.

That'll be Tony Martin, Tabs.
I remember that.

Regarding a keysafe, I have had one for a few years now.
It was a Godsend when I was in hospital recently and my friends went in and saw to the dogs for me.

Tony Martin.

He got what he deserved. Read the WHOLE story. There can be no excuse for shooting in the back someone running away. None at all.

Re: Neighbours.

Another possible problem with the razor wire is that, if someone did manage to get over it then they might not be quite so inclined to try and escape if they are spotted and/or confronted, and thus might end up becoming involved in a physical confrontation.

Swimmy, although you may have had experience and training throughout your career, given your recent decline in health, then this might be potentially more harmful to you than it might once have been.
