You Won’t Believe The Awesome Way This Retired Army Captain Protects His Home

 

Paul Davis, a retired British Army captain was sick and tired of people leaving their cars blocking his driveway while they went to the store. Many home owners would have had a quiet word with the offending drivers or perhaps even called the cops however Mr Davis had other ideas on his mind. He installed a cannon in front of his house. As carrying a handgun is illegal in the U.K. he had to think out of the box!

 

Accompanying the cannon is a scary sign topped with a WWII helmet.The ex Royal Engineer has struck on a plan which works!

You didn't think that cannon was real did you? Made from wood, it's actually an old TV prop from the series Hornblower.
