An outstanding decision by JP's to dismiss charges against Greg Carvell for defending himself and his staff against a machete wielding nutter. The right to defend yourself and/or your family is paramount and the police being concerned about the public arming themselves with weapons is unfounded.
"Mr Carvell was charged after shooting armed intruder Ricky Beckham in the stomach with a .45-calibre pistol after Beckham entered his Small Arms International gunshop in Great South Rd, Penrose, demanding guns and threatening staff with a machete."
And yes, you will find most people, if they were in the same position as Greg Carvell, would do exactly the same - what would be the choice - to give the raving lunatic guns and ammunition so he can kill you and then kill 50 other people!!!
No - arming yourself to the teeth with weapons is not the answer but sleep easy tonight with a cricket bat (willow of course) an 8 iron golf club and a pair of stilletos - not weapons - just peace of mind!!!

I tried to understand what you wrote hun, but i have no idea!
Jennifer, it was local NZ stuff but basically the Carvell acted in self defence when it looked like he was going to be prosecuted for shooting the loser attacker - but the charges against Carvell (the good guy) were dropped - all yay!!
