"The stepfather of a woman held by police for three days over the shooting of two burglars said last night: 'I'd have blown their bloody heads off.'
John Towell said Tracey Ferrie and her husband Andy who was also arrested had faced a gang of four men at their isolated cottage in the early hours.
He said: 'Four of them came in. Andy and Tracey did what anyone would have done.' He said the law must now be changed to protect property owners who act to defend their land when it is burgled.
'Shoot their legs? I'd have blown their bloody heads off,' he declared"

This is where we are headed ... even people with legal weapons are breaking the law if those weapons are used in self-defence.
For those who are not aware, when applying for a firearm license in the UK a reason for owning a weapons must be provided, the purpose of "home/self-defence" is not valid. You can only apply for a permit if you intend to use the weapons for hunting or approved target shooting and then only if you are an active member of a registered shooting society.
