If you find someone in your house and they don't leg off when they first here or see you, surely a reasonable assumption is that they are going to physically defend their position.
You aren't a mind reader, I would think it reasonable for you to assume that the invader has more experience than you in physical violence and hence I see nothing wrong in anything that disables the invader.
If they know the law permits a violent defence by the victim in these situations - they are choosing to enter your property under those rules, and hopefully they get what they deserve.
Just to play safe, if you keep a baseball bat beside your bed, also keep a ball close by, just in case some idiot says you are pre-empting using violence.
Full marks to the OAP, should be given a civic award.

I spoke to an old fella this morning from the sheltered housing,he said the place was covered in blood,and the police caught one of them but couldn't find the one who was injured,they thought he would of been dead somewhere.
Glad to read read they now have found him,so the poor old fella isn't looking at manslaughter charges.

I was a rarity - working in Criminal Defence with a conscience I couldn't look at myself in the mirror. Thing is, I went from that to PI Frying pan -> fire

I don't understand how the deffence lawyers can live with themselves half of the time. I've done a bit of P.I. work in the past aswell - exciting isn't it? lol.

There's no money in Criminal Law. I'm contemplating returning to it, sort of but not sure yet. Depends what Friday brings. PI - riveting!! Helps though when you end up having to put a claim in

I've heard of a few cases where burglars have broken in and fallen down unsafe stairs or something like that, sued the owners for the injuries and won! What?? Why do they have a right against harm when they're breaking the law themselves, trying to steal etc. When they steal from the state they're put in prison but if it's just your own home and you could only be hurt then it's tough, sit back and watch them take your stuff or try and hurt you. Sigh!

Her, that one, the Mother-in-Law lives in Reay Court, a sheltered housing complex, in Seacombe.
There has been lots of 'break ins' over the last few weeks-mainly due to the fact that exiting visitors allow 'new' visitors/strangers to enter the premises, 'to save them buzzing up'!!.
