Crossbows are still legal in England.

The are a prohibited weapon in Australia, that requires a special permit.

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.

Yeah. Good job.

[FreedomPoster]

Bravo to her.

[TonyM]

Gettin ready for the zombies. Would make Daryl proud.

[Tax-chick]

She looks like she could have torn them apart with her bare hands. The crossbow was much less messy.

“Crossbows are still legal in England.”

They won’t be for long once the asshole politicians get on to it.

[Bonemaker]

The downside is that it wasn’t a scalpel sharp broadhead that would have severed his descending aorta.

[tbw2]

Sales of these will now skyrocket while the British government considers banning them.

[Ouderkirk]

Crossbows are still legal in England.

Not for long.

Can't have this good lady defending herself, now can we? /sarc

Tony martin who was sent to prison for shooting a burglar in his home is now out on parole. One of the parole board members didn’t want to let him out because (are you ready for this?) “He represents a danger to burglars.”

LOL

[G Larry]

Heck w the rules.

Let the criminals die.

I’ll make my case in court.

Convicted?

Who cares as long as they report my testimony.

The other two still had run of the house and ran away after they didn't find what they were looking for. With a gun, they would have fled. Instead, all parties are medieval,

"Three masked men, armed with a machete and a hammer, burst into Anji Rhys home. The man with the machete tried to grab the crossbow after she snatched it off the wall. She was able to turn and fire it into his abdomen.".

Makes me wonder why one of them didn't have a mace.

[longfellow]

Thank God it wasn’t an assault crossbow.

[NorthMountain]

The bolt I shot him with was dirty because I had been using it. It was six inches long and disappeared into him.

Wonder what sort of bacterial nastiness is lurking in her garden soil. I see peritonitis and sepsis in that man's future. Good luck with the NHS, dirtbag!

[wardaddy]

From a nation that hanged highwaymen from gallows alongside their turnpikes and left them to rot as warnings

Or put racked pirates in giblets at the mouth of the Thames

Orr what Catholics and Protestants did to one another

Now look at them
