Get a shotgun but be prepared to spread your cheeks if you are ever forced to use it to defend yourself.

Build a potato gun and load it with shrapnel
But honestly there isnt much you can do in terms of firearms except a shotgun but the law will screw you if you use it in self defence

Home or out and about?
>Out and about
Fucking forget it. Best bet is a big maglite to cosh the fucker.
>home
Ehh, shotgun would do. Load it with buckshot. However, it would have to be very specific circumstances or a very sympathetic jury that gets you off. Either way enjoy being in and out of court for the next 2 years.
>Shoot them in the front
>make sure they die
>be sure to say you were cleaning your shotgun when they broke in
>keep cleaning materials out
>lose your gun to the police forever
>never get a gun license again

Read the law and be aware of what the law requires for using a gun in self defense
That said a shotgun, shotgun certificate is very easy to get, shotguns are very cheap and will fuck people up fine

Common law on self defence is
>if you have an honest held belief that you or another are in immenent danger you may use such force is reasonable and necessary to avert that danger
Reasonable is the word that ducks you over. Although there is a stated case that says force cannot be judged to a nicety.

It's pants on heads retarded to be honest, unless the attacker is trying to murder you with a god damn longsword or something you are gonna have to pay out for a decent lawyer so you don't get done
As for the OP, apply for a firearms license and get a semi-auto .22 (perfectly legal) it will probably scare the shit out of whoever is breaking in and if you are forced to shoot them you are probably just gonna injure them really bad.

Probably the worst advice you could possibly give
>>33772876
probably, maybe i'm trying to justify because i have a shitty .22 semi

Just get a percussion revolver, or a blunderbuss. Or are they banned too ?

Admitting that on the internet that you intend to use your gun for self defense is just no. In a self defense situation in the UK you are obligated to retreat. Start waving guns around and you will get fucked over harder than the crims trying to steal your xbox.
Bear this in mind, when we used to hang crims, the hang man used to be charged with manslaughter after each drop.
Also easy on the potato guns, under the VCR act you can be arrested for having them too.
