The Panic Room

His home in southern Sweden now contains a barbed-wire sculpture that could electrocute potential intruders, a secure space to hide in and an axe which will allow him “to chop down” anyone breaking in through his windows. [More]
But no gun, of course. No wonder he's panicking.

Well, lucky for him that he doesn't live in England.

All of these measures would be deemed "offensive", especially the barbed wire, which is considered a threat to robbers under Health and Safety Regulations.

Don't even get me started on what the Limeys would say about the axe...

Hmmm. I'm guessing such a home would be "illegal" in many places in America now, since it is "fortified" and would prevent the government-employed murderers of the War on (some) Drugs from safely breaking into the home.

If his entry-ways are "fortified", he'd be a felon if he lived in Oklahoma.

Unbelievable this, in the so-called "land of the free".
