Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 06:51:08 PMThe way the law is I reckon it's pretty much damned if you do and maybe crippled if you don't. If anybody decides to defend themselves with a weapon it needs to be close to hand which to a degree rules out a gun if the law is complied with. If you have a crossbow under your bed then avoiding a charge may be a problem. As would hitting an assailant with a one shot weapon when maybe only half awake.In my case I would be wide awake, dressed & waiting for the intruder by the time they managed to break in as I'm a very light sleeper & I have seven external CCTV cameras plus four audio alert perimeter detectors.
Luckily these situations don't crop up for the majority.

Here they have to be kept in locked cabinets, ammunition separate and the minimum barrel length of 24 inches makes them an unwieldy weapon at close quarters.This is the bonus of a crossbow which doesn't have to be kept locked in a cabinet & can be kept preloaded with the bolts.
