This would protected people from prosecution for the using firearms for defence on private property.

This could help deter criminals making you or your home a target for crimes; home invasions, rapes/ sexual assaults, thefts, kidnappings, smash grabs, violent attacks.

Individuals using firearms outside of the permitted circumstances would face revocation of their FAC, seizure of their firearms, and prosecution.
