It is not easy to obtain firearms in England. Any firearms obtained are supposed to be locked up. Self defense is not considered a legitimate reason to own a firearm. Crossbows are still legal. They can be ordered through the mail. They are becoming an alternative for people who wish to defend their homes. From dailymail.co.uk:

'I ran and grabbed my crossbow and had a little tussle with a second man who had a machete. He went to grab it , but I managed to spin and shoot him in the belly with it at close range.

'He shouted "You f****** bitch, you shot me".

'At that point he fell on me, cutting my hand with the machete.

'I tried to throw the cross bow through the window to raise the alarm but the curtains caught it like a goalie net.'

Asked why she kept the Redback Pistol crossbow, she said: 'It is a home defence weapon. I am a prepper I believe you should hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I wish I had another four cross bows. It is a man stopper. It is the most powerful pistol cross bow.

'I had it loaded. I practice with it in my garden, which is 130 feet long. The bolt I shot him with was dirty because I had been using it. It was six inches long and disappeared into him.

She went on: 'I am still patrolling the house. The police have taken my crossbow. I have got a knife in my pocket now.

'I am on three courses of medication - for post traumatic stress, sleeping and anti depressants.'

Ms Rhys said: 'The police said quietly 'well done.' Another said: 'F....good job.'
