Rejected petition The Introduction Of Castle Law

More details

The laws in England currently only permit you to defend yourself with reasonable force, the extent of force that you can use is often debated. However, we believe that it's time to introduce a castle law, granting property owners more rights over what they can do to an unlawful intruder.

"An Englishman's home is his castle."
