Of course people should be taught to use guns. The population should be armed again. You breach some persons private space with a deliberate criminal activity you get shot. Guns don't kill people mate. People do.
Only your weak lily levered left wing socialistic cultures want the people unarmed and vulnerable. Get real. Get a gun.

Ah yes, it all comes down to needing to have a gun in the hands to feel some 'control' does it Individual?
What a frightening world you must live in.

Wouldn't you feel more comfortable living in America? No, perhaps a Taliban run society would suit you better?

If you 'breach' ChrisGaffs private space he will shoot you down.
And you would go to jail to join all the other criminals who perpetrated physical or lethal assault...

What a frightening world you must live in.
Suseonline,
As a matter of fact I do live in a community where I hardly have any rights. Ever heard of Palm Island ? We're not as bad by a mile but the way left wing Government is going it won't be long before we become like New Guinea. Barbed wire everywhere & living locked in your home. Yes, little Susie I'm talking about communities in Australia. Why not find out more about your own country ? Why not find out what ALP Government has achieved in down-grading our society ? I bet you don't go to work stressing out all day wondering if your home has been broken into yet again. Before you say the standard leftie response of "why don't you leave" I tell you that some of us are hellbent on trying to undo the ALP Government damage, that's why we stay.

Suseonline,

Forgetting guns so as to not provoke your hoplophobia, it is apparent you would impose limits on the law-abiding citizen's right to defend herself and loved ones. Where the offender is hurt you believe the victim (who defended herself or her child) should be charged with some offence, and murder or manslaughter if the offender dies through the defensive act of the victim. As well, you could include injury to the offender through his victim not providing a safe workplace for him to commit his crime.

What limits do you imagine you can impose on the home invader you find in your bedroom? If the homeowner cannot defend herself through fear of herself or her pooch hurting the criminal, how then is she to convince the criminal that he should impose limits on his behaviour too?

What a frightening world you want for law-abiding citizens that you make criminals a protected species and a mother cannot defend herself and her children in her own home for fear of being charged and gaoled. Of course as a result of law changes over years to protect criminals, police already do charge citizens for defending themselves. Australia slavishly followed the UK in that and here is an example from there,

<A UK TV star warned over waving a knife at teenagers says she acted in self defence.

Myleene Klass, a TV presenter and model, was warned by police after she waved a knife at teenagers who were intruding in her garden in Hertfordshire after midnight local time on Friday, Sky News reported.

She was in her kitchen upstairs with her daughter when she spotted people peering into her window, before grabbing the knife and banging on the windows, scaring the trespassers away.

Hertfordshire Police officers warned Klass she should not have used a knife to scare off the teens because carrying an "offensive weapon" - even in her own home - was illegal.
..
(Klass said,)"I totally respect British law - but surely everyone has the right to self-defence in their own home if they are in danger?">

What I said was "private space with a deliberate criminal activity".
Please read before you speak.
Yes I would shoot you if you tried to harm me or mine either property or person. I have and walked away from both as a copper and a private citizen. I have a permit co carry a concealed weapon and I do so every time I step out of the house. It is a 9mm Glock and I intend to up-size to a 50 cal very soon.

I don't vote for the ALP Individual, so I don't know why you are trying to convince me about all the 'freedoms' you don't have.
Live by the sword, die by the sword...

Chris, I would agree with your right to carry a weapon as a copper, but not as a private citizen.
Doesn't the glock blow a large enough hole in your target then?

You wouldn't want to be someone who wandered into your backyard by mistake now would you?
Shoot first and ask questions later, yes?

You like to be in control yes?
Judge, jury and executioner...
