Petition Create absolute rights to defence of person and property, and carrying weapons

I want the Government to change legislation on self-defence, home defence and the defence of others, and on carrying weapons. Currently you can use "reasonable force" to defend yourself or others, but this does not go far enough, and is not even defined in law.

More details

I want the UK Government, to enable all citizens to be able to legally carry weapons, so that they can defend themselves and others in an unfortunate event, such as being robbed at gunpoint or knife point.

I also want the UK Government to legislation to allow any citizen to fully defend themselves, others and their homes, by any means necessary, rather than have to rely on a defence of using "reasonable force".
