Petition Action

Allow the People defense of their homes and country from invasion.

Petition Details

Define a scale of escalation in regards to reasonable force. Allow people to use weapons such as their knives, shotguns, firearms to defend their property when the need arises. Allow the ownership of self loading rifles and pistols for defense training in war time situations and home defense.

Additional Information

There are no protections for a person defending their home apart from the vague phrase "reasonable force".

People should be allowed to defend their home and country against invasion, like what has been needed in Ukraine without the fear of prosecution if a weapon is used in defence of life or property.

If a person owned the appropriate firearms for training in self defense and there was a need for a militia such as Ukraine, it would be much more effective since training has already been done

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We're not sure what you'd like to change about the use of reasonable force.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do, or we could accept a petition on changing laws on the ownership of weapons, if that's something you'd like to see happen.
