I use public transport a lot in Australia - Some days i wish i could get a “Licence to Carry”

You don’t need a license here to carry on your own property.

Nobody has ever seen my gun in public, but it does give you a little peace of mind. It encourages you to be more aware of your surroundings and to not take chances. As much trouble as it can get you out of it can make your troubles much worse if you get careless with it.

I have martial arts weapons in various places around my home

I also have several razor sharp knives in various hidden places

Thanks to the grubberment, I can no longer carry a knife in public any more
But my cane, or staff can be used very effectively against any attackers.
18 years of training gives me a small advantage and I know exactly where to strike and how to use the walking aid very well.

This poor guy probably should have had a gun ...

US police say they will "stop at nothing" to identify those who shot and killed Australian man Brenton Estorffe during a home invasion in Texas.

The 29-year-old Brenton Estorffe was shot dead in his home in the city of Katy, near Houston, in the early hours of Wednesday (local time), police said.

His wife and two young children were in the house sleeping at the time of the shooting.

Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls said Mr Estorffe was woken by two intruders as they broke into the home.

"He woke up and confronted two individuals in his living room, at which point in time he was shot and killed," Sheriff Nehls said.

Mr Nehls said he did not have a clear idea of why the pair broke into the house.

"Most individuals who want to commit a burglary do it when people are not at home, when they are working," he said.

"These individuals pulled in there around midnight, broke glass into the back of the house and then, you know — I don't think they were there to commit a burglary.

Police spokeswoman Jessica Reyes earlier said officers were investigating a car that reportedly sped away from the scene, but did not have a suspect.

"The Fort Bend County Sheriff will stop at nothing to identify these individuals, apprehend them and bring them to justice," Mr Nehls said.

"We have a team of detectives scouring the neighbourhood, looking at surveillance videos, talking to individuals."

He said the fatal shooting "startled" residents in the area.

"We are a very large county that has very little violent crime," Mr Nehls said.

"You talk to neighbours and some of them leave their doors even unlocked.

"There are people in this neighbourhood that are on edge right now with what took place the other night."
