Never in my life would I advocate owning an illegal gun. Never.

In Belgium, the police's advice on what to do when your home is invaded (often occurs close to French border) has been literally "run away".

Badly in need of stand-your-ground laws (including of course RKBA in the first place).

Belgium police is right. This is about life preservation not "standing up for justice." You're way more likely to remain safe by leaving the situation than hoping that a gun will turn it around in your favor. If u have a gun, run away WITH it if your able to before engagement.

No. The Belgian policy is severely lacking in empathy. You're way more likely to remain safe, *and* your wealth to remain intact, if the robbers have reason to believe you're not an easy target.

They arrived with bullet proof vests. They already had a reason to believe. Run with your gun and call cops. Outcome more likely to result in non injury.
