There is a legal right to act using self defence but theres a thin line between self defence and GBH/ABH. I've been there before - had a knife pulled on me but managed to sort the situation but I was taken to court over ABH but charges dropped as luckily there was a CCTV camera watching!

The law was changed that should someone break into your home and also should your life feel threatened... so if they hold a knife/gun or whatever to you... You can defend yourself and if that means you killing them (remember if your life if threatened) then its within the law!

We had a huge debate about this at karate and I was right! Someone dragged in an off the street coppa!
There has not been any change in the law. It's the same as it's been for years.

If the deceased was killed in self defence the householder has no case to answer.
