The British government should be forced to watch Clockwork Orange until they give their citizens Second Amendment freedoms.

Umbrellas and keys--how pathetic.

I hope they mean “stick the bumbershoot up the bad guy’s butt and open it”. Because that would actually make some sense.

The non-violent people have been disarmed, while the violent criminals haven’t.

Ban Umbrellas. Get those dangerous weapons off the streets.

If they are going to concede the point that the police can’t protect citizens and so citizens need to arm themselves, they’ve lost the gun control battle. Why should a 75 year old woman have to arm herself with keys and an umbrella to fend off a 200 pound 20 year old thug? Why shouldn’t she have the right to level the playing field with a gun?

I have something even better to fight back with...my Glock 23, with two spare mags. That gives me 40 chances to neutralize any threat.

Here's some "how-to" videos, for umbrella or cane self-defense...

How to Use an Umbrella as a Weapon | Self-Defense

Self-defense with everyday items: cane/umbrella

Self-defense: Unbreakable Umbrella from Real-Self-Defense.com

(Plenty more videos like that out there on youtube, and there are many books and dvd's on those subjects available on Amazon, for anyone who might be interested.)

Britain seems to have the worst cops in the West.

...they should arm themselves with “keys and umbrellas” after a string of street robberies.

Since this is New jersey and I'm not well enough connected to obtain a carry permit, when I am forced to walk through a sketchy area I hold my keys in my left hand with an inch or so of several protruding between my fingers. If I am assaulted the target is the side of the neck of the assailant, the brachial plexus.

Question: If I am attacked and respond as planned, and the assailant is killed, is it a case of premeditated homicide?
