Ping to my 124.

(As a British citizen (dual citizen) who is licenced to own a firearm and does so when I am in England for a long period of time, I make sure I know the law on this well).

By the way - I am actually one of the small number of people who can legally carry a handgun in the UK, and if I’d been anywhere near this and I’d been carrying, I’d have drawn it and gone after the guy.

And in all probability I’d be dead at this point. I think you are quite correct that it’s unlikely concealed carry laws, etc, would have helped in this case.

But the thing is, I’d have gone up against him with a fencepost if that’s all I had. And that would have been even less likely to work.

Thanks for that info, that’s very helpful. I bow to your knowledge on this. I am not a legal expert.
