This sort of stuff is escalating. I now keep certain sefensive hand weapons around the home (not firearms).
    Black Powder cannons don't need a licence if I'm right...reload times are a bit of an issue, but grape shot should sort that (joke! wokes)

    Store the cannon balls separately soldier! Don't forget to put a trigger lock on the fuse hole! Lest some victim-crim holds up a dairy with it
