This makes so much sense. Now, they will find all these people dead holding an umbrella.

The right of self defense is a basic right inherent to all creatures. You defend yourself and your family with whatever means is needed to get the job done. If than means using a shotgun on someone wielding a baseball bat, so be it.

Strange thing. Here in TN one never seems to hear about things like this in middle class neighborhoods. Of course, we have shall issue CCW, but that shouldn’t make any difference. Duh!!!

A 9mm is quicker and you won’t be late to where you’re going.

If Clintoon, Obumer and the rabid left wingers take away our guns, they will then go after our umbrellas, canes, wing tipped shoes, and Gore Tex hiking boots with waffle soles!

If the authorities won’t let you use mace or pepper spray, then Easy-Off Oven Cleaner should be considered as a suitable substitute.

And if an umbrella kills, will we outlaw umbrellas?

Used to. Don’t know status in UK (probably banned). In USA, they’re regulated under the unconstitutional “National Firearms Act”.

I’ve heard of umbrella attacks with poisoned tips, but it would take a pretty quick poison to do the job here. /sardonic

How about umbrella guns or keychain guns.
