Reading the Bali Advertiser today, I learned that on police Dec 18th Bali police shot and killed the violent Jimbaran burgler, in Denpasar.
Since the economic downturn you can expect people to re-tool, and try ways to get money they previously didn’t do. The police confronted a guy called Syahrul, originally from Lombok, who was robbing a property on Gatut Subroto Denpasar. Police suspect this was one of the guys who viciously attacked Australian expat Julie McNally, slicing her up with machette’s, leaving her alive, with gashes 10 centimeters deep.
Police also think Syahrul is the perpetrator of 6 more armed robberies and a robbery / murder in Denpasar. Police have been instructed to ‘shoot to kill’ if they encounter armed burglers. Great news for the good guys.
A friend of mine told me I could get a gun licence in Jakarta for 10m rp. I think I’ll pass. Shooting myself in the foot or mistaking one of the neighbors for a bad guy, is 10 times more likely than ever needing it.

Nicko mate i know theres probably more chance of me getting robbed or sliced up in London, but nevertheless you are still better to be prepared for any events.
I mean you stayed in the Stated Nick and know all about gun laws and the rules. Guns to an American are all part of life and the right to protect your property.
I know that if given the choice Nick about having a gun for protection in your house in Bali, i would opt for the gun.(prefer automatic Gloc )
Lets face it Nick when you had the knocks at the door when those muppets were round sizing up your house it would be nice to answer the door with an Auto pistol tucked in your shorts with the top sticking out as a good warning to those pricks as to what they could expect if they came charing in your house threatning Ika and Jevon.
I know only to well you would protect your family Nick, but what is the situ regarding weapons and what would have happenede if that Australian Women who was attacked had blown those thugs brains out in protection or self defense mode.? I would be interested to hear your take on this Nick matey.
Anyway Happy New Year Nick and all the ‘regos’ to the site.
Mark
