That and a dalmatian with many sharp pointy teeth.
I used to live in Japan where you had to use "like force". If someone broke in and had a knife, you could only use a knife or lesser weapon.
After Florida finally made it OK to actually protect yourself in your own gosh darn home+, I made the leap.
I hope you have a really big fat pointy stick!
