Rev. Green needs to be careful post Dunblane, however - merely the fact of having his revolver to hand will be the cause of questions from the police - I can't remember whether it's now illegal for you to have a handgun in your house at all, but at the very least you have to have a weapons safe for a handgun.
I'd have thought that the miscreant in question would have an excuse to claim against the good Vicar, unless Rev. Green has a good explanation for why he hand his gun in hand at the time.
And Professor Plum is a fool. "I wasn't lying in wait, Officer; I heard a noise downstairs and on investigating, found the burglar inside my property. In fear of my life, I struck him unconscious."
That brings up another peeve, of course (was the Times article written by a roleplayer?).
It's bloody difficult to knock someone unconscious without doing them serious damage at the same time. While that may well be justified, it's not as easy as Hollywood or RPG rules would have us believe :-)
