Currently, you can only use "reasonable force" against an intruder.

The Conservatives would replace this, and allow homeowners to use any amount of force to defend themselves and their property unless it was "grossly disproportionate"

About time we were allowed to stand up against those who violate our properties?

Or a licence for vigilantes?

" Steg, so you're saying that if someone broke into your house and threaten to take your partner, kids, parents etc. you'd just let them take and go their merry way? You won't try some sort of defense, or apprehend the robber? "
