I've got to confess the stories I've been reading lately about both the crime rates and charging of individuals who protect themselves in Britain have surprised and appalled me. I'm not much of a gun nut, despite being an American, but I can't imagine a place where the fear of guns is so great that the government would treat a man who shoots an intruder into his home as a criminal no different -- or even worse -- than the burglar himself. Canada is going this way too, which is one of the many reasons I can't stomach the thought of staying here much longer. That and the candy is no good. :)
