    "Last month, KAP introduced a bill to amend section 267 of Queensland's Criminal Code to allow an individual to lawfully respond to a home invasion with such force that may cause grievous bodily harm or even death to the intruder.

    "Current laws allow for the use of "reasonable force" for self-defence, but the KAP said that was not clear enough.

    "KAP deputy leader Hinchinbrook MP Nick Dametto said the popularity of the petition was an indicator of community fear."

    aBClenk.

    what I'd like answered is what %age of the Qld community would back this.

    it seems the supporters want to be able to shoot home invaders, or even property invaders, without having consequences.

    imo this will encourage people to use a gun as the first defence.
