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.

Man's nose bitten off by attacker in Camberley

A man in his 30s had part of his nose bitten off in an unprovoked attack by three men between 10.45pm and 11pm on July the 9th in Camberley.

This incident highlights the reason people should be allowed to carry weapons with which to defend themselves. The victim was outnumbered, an often seen trait of such attacks, and was left unassisted by police officers who cannot possibly respond to crimes as they occur. The victims of such crimes are thus left to fight bare handed, at the mercy of violent attackers who arm themselves regardless of the law.

In many cases handing over your belongings will not stop an attacker or group of attackers from seriously harming you. In such situations you are left to attempt to defend yourself, unarmed.

Surrey Police are appealing for witnesses - which, unfortunately is all the police practically can do after such incidents occur.

Even a CS gas pistol, sold over the counter in France would have offered a chance for the victim to escape. Unfortunately these are not allowed to be owned in the UK.

Muggings in Staines and Ashford

Two incidents reported to the police are detailed below. All too often incidents such as these go unreported thus, significantly down-scaling the already high official statistics.

DETECTIVES in Spelthorne are appealing for witnesses and information after a 19-year-old man was robbed in Ashford last week. The incident took place near the hut and tennis courts in Ashford Park, which is off Clockhouse Lane, between 7.50pm and 8pm on Thursday, 16 June.

Police appeal for witnesses after a man is robbed close to the Crooked Billet roundabout in Staines

DETECTIVES in Spelthorne are appealing for witnesses after a 23-year-old man was the victim of a robbery in Staines last week.

The incident took place at the junction of the A30 London Road and the Crooked Billet roundabout between 4.55pm and 5.12pm on Tuesday 10 May.

The victim, who is from south east London, was walking towards the train station when he was confronted by a group of three suspects who pushed and threatened him.

The suspects then surrounded the victim and punched him several times in the face, causing the victim to fall to the ground.

While the suspect was lying on the floor the suspects stole the two shoulder bags he was carrying, which contained a laptop valued at around £300 and a substantial amount of cash, and left the area on foot.

If you are concerned about violent crime in your area, please send a letter or email your MP requesting that the Offensive Weapons and Firearms laws be amended to allow the carry of items for self-defence.
