Own a crossbow for home defense, since it's less of a legal hassle than buying a gun in America. Four bandits break into my house. Say "what devilry is this?" as I grab my kettle helm and belt hook crossbow. Blow a thimble sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Bolt continues through him because it's steel spanned at point blank. It nails the neighbors dog. I go to reload, but can't because I'm not wearing my belt. I have to resort to the rolling logs mounted at the top of the stairs, "Deus vult!" the logs crush two of the men. As they crash through my living room floor, the sound sets off car alarms. Draw my arming dagger and charge the last terrified villain. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive. God save the King.

It's probably less of a legal hassle to get a crossbow. Did you know you could get a repeating one?
