I found this on another forum and thought you should see it.

Can't say as I'd recommend it crashdive, that's why I'm so concerned about house invasion, I have no rights whatsoever when it comes to defending my property. The Tony Martin case is not exceptional, many people who have attempted to defend their property or aprehend the criminals have been arrested for ABH (actual bodily harm) when the Police have arrived.
Just a quick for instance.... a few weeks ago my neighbour was away on holiday, as usual they told me, I heard their burglar alarm and phoned Police 3/4 hr later they turned up. A couple of weeks ago same thing. The Police didn't even attend on that occaision, I had a phone call to say resources were elsewhere and would I mind popping round and checking?!!?? Now I'm not afraid to stand my ground and punch someones lights out should the need arise, but confront possibly armed burglars??!!?? I think not!! 1) I'm a 5'4 girlie and 2) thats what I pay my taxes for!

Wychwood - I certainly understand your concerns. I'ts just a wee bit different over here (as I'm sure you know), although it does vary from state to state. A few month back I recieved a phone call (we have a pretty active neighborhood watch program where we let people on our street know what is going on) saying that there was just an attempted home invasion. A description was given and I was told that he was thought to have a gun. Within a minute or two myself and three neighbors met and were checking on some of the elderly folks on the street. We were looking through yards, checking sheds, etc. We were well armed. A police helicopter was in the area and patrols were looking for the kid. Anyway - four of us were standing in one of the front yards as a police officer came around the corner with a dog searching for the bad guy. He saw us, saw our weapons and said "looks like you have things under control. How far did you search?" We told him, and he moved to an area that we had not checked. Now, not every police officer may have had the same reaction, and I completely understand that. Things just worked out well in this situation.

I remember reading an article about the British government asking for assistance during the beginning of World War Two - they needed firearms.

I'd believe it. At about the same time (early in the war) the British Homeguard was training with broomsticks, because the WW1 rifles were given to the regular army.

The US did send over heavy munitions, like tanks, and similar items, before both the US and UK industries ramped up.

Same thing happend with the iron and steel drives in the US. Tons of iron and steel were collected from the people, and never used. Don't know why because the US industry sure needed it. However, chickenbone collections (used to make glycerine which was used to make explosives), rubber, and copper WERE used after they were collected.

After the evacuation at Dunkirkin May 1940 , where the BEF were taken off the beaches the majority of heavy and light equipment was lost. Most heavy armament was deystoyed in situ, including aircraft stuck on French soil. As the men were lifted off the beaches their personal weapons had to be left behind, thats probably the reason for the request for small arms from the U.S. Men were more important than munitions.

I was searching for a durable hoist for my construction business, and https://zumasales.com/ delivered exactly what I needed. The equipment is powerful, reliable, and easy to operate. Their team also provided great advice on setup and maintenance. It’s been a fantastic investment.
