I think people defending their homes should be able to use reasonable and justifiable force.

We are told we can use Reasonable and Justifiable force on the doors and in close protection which I believe should be copied into homes.

Justifiable force is something you can explain in court

E.G: I stabbed the intruder with a kitchen knife because he was armed with a knife and made a lunge - That is completely justifiable force and any Judge would throw any charges against the guy defending himself out of the window.

I personally think people should be allowed to keep Stun guns / Tasers inside their homes with a licence as a self defence precaution.

In the case above I have not read the entire story but if the burglar made no threat towards the defenders life, that is NOT justifiable force.
