Balls, EMF. Any man or woman can kill an armed intruder, presuming both have a gun. All it takes is a weapon and the will to use it. Yes, you have no training, but neither has he, and it's better than lying in your bed whimpering like a broke-backed dog. Police training dosen't magically take normal people, and turn them into crime-fighting supervillains. It takes normal people and teaches them to restrain their strength, rather than reacting like most of us would and kicking the attacker in the face until it stopped moving.
In South Africa, I do not need guns to protect myself from my neighbours, I need them to protect me from the sociopath climbing through the window until the armed response teams turn up. Honest to god, have you ever lived in a genuinely dangerous place? No? Then pray realise you know very little on the subject.
Oh please, i very much doubt youwould have the balls to face an armed intruder anyway. Part of the training the police and armed forces recieve is in dealing with these kinds of situations. You would crack up, piss yourself, hide under the bed and cry yourself to sleep after they had gone, just like most people would.
And operating any gun properly requires at least some kind of training and experience.
And south africa is a very different place to the far more civilised USA and GB. I would agree that in such a place it may be necessary, but south africa is by comparisom to the USA, Canada, Austrailia, GB, Europe and the other civilised places of the world, somewhat barberous and different rules would apply.
