The defenceless are easy victims

It's widely accepted that the mere sight of a firearm raised in defence is enough to have any mugger fleeing. Thanks to forced disarming of law-abiding citizens by the government, we continue to see criminals go about their business with ease in Surrey and across the UK..

Attacks such as these cannot be prevented by more laws and more police officers. Only by allowing people to have the ability to defend against such attacks, through for example a licence to carry a suitable personal defence weapon, would see a drop in violent crime rates.

Armed robbery at a cash and carry store - Sunbury

 Again, we see the law leaving vulnerable store owners defenseless against violent armed criminals.

Surrey Police

DETECTIVES in Spelthorne are appealing for witnesses following an armed robbery at a business premises in Sunbury-on-Thames. The incident took place between 4.37pm and 4.45pm on Saturday 23, July at the Booker Cash and Carry store in Windmill Road. Shortly after 4.30pm a blue Renault Laguna entered the car park of the store and three masked men got out of the vehicle and approached the store.

The suspects then smashed the glass section in a door to gain entry to the premises and once inside began threatening and assaulting three members of staff. The offenders, who were armed with items including a metal bars, hammers and machetes, then forced the victims to hand over a quantity of cash from the safe. The suspects loaded the stolen items into a blue bin taken from the address and made off from the store at high speed in the blue Laguna.

The victims sustained injuries to their arms and heads as a result of the attack. The suspects are described as four men, all wearing dark clothing and balaclavas.

Here's a video from Turkey where a store owner protects himself and others from a knife wielding attacker. Had he of not been armed, he probably would have been killed. In the UK, the store owner would have been jailed for five years for possessing the gun alone.

Teenager robbed by four men

As reported, a heavily outnumbered teenager was confronted by a group of four men in Thames Ditton, one of which threatened him with a metal bar. The men involved clearly do not care about the Prevention of Crime Act, and arm themselves in public regardless. The law-abiding person, who may need to defend himself is the only one disadvantaged by the law in this situation.

 A 15-year-old boy was threatened with a metal pole during a robbery in Thames Ditton last week.

Surrey Police said that the incident occurred in Sugden Road at around 12.15am last Friday (April 15).

The teenage victim, from Surbiton, was walking home when he was approached by the first suspect, who asked him for the time.

While the victim was answering three further suspects approached him and one of the group was carrying a metal pole.

The group of suspects then threatened the victim, who handed over a number of items including a black Sony Ericsson mobile phone, an iPod and a wallet containing various bank cards.

Last year in Forest Groove, Oregon, a 55 year old man was able to scare away 3 muggers by discharging his handgun which he had a permit to carry. If he had carried any type of weapon for self-defence in the UK he would be guilty of breaking various Acts of parliament and would likely be charged with a more serious offence than the muggers themselves.
