Seems this is all in the news today and one particular point is the use of weapons. Due to the wonderful way our politically correct system seems to favour the growing scum of this world the HO have tried to reassure us a little.
I have not seen the exact wording but it seems if you use a 'weapon to hand' with reasonable force etc that is ok.
So...if I shoot him with a legally held air pistol how would the law see things?
