Do you think the old 'hue and cry' law should be renewed but obviously updated?

This post from UK where no civilian concealed carry allowed mostly? The Hue and Cry sort of happened in texas last year- guy saw neighbors house being robbed, called police911 and was told would be awhile before police showed up--so neighbor took his shotgun and stopped the felony in progress by killing burglar. texas castle doctrine law said shooter couldn't be charged or detained, surviving burglar arrested. Compare that to Martin case in England - seven years in prison or such? and home office said don't let him out as a danger to burglars. US concealed carry permits often have a posse call requirement noted. I know of a guy in Iowa with a concealed carry permit who was called for a posse duty to help catch a fleeing felon, he had rifle and pistol ready for immediate use and covered one flank of approach to house where felon was hiding-- how many in UK could render that kind of rapid assistance? Isreal has a fairly low crime rate, police get help from citizens many times- the helpful citizens are usually carrying firearms on street. swiss known to have had a few incidents of citizens stopping criminal acts- 10% of militia normally carrying their militia arms on street as duty requirement when going to work, etc--how many subjects outside of Northern Ireland are armed in UK? Hue and cry, assist police working in some places and reducing crime, all UK needs perhaps is a requirement that 1/2 the labor politicians, staff and organizers carry pistols on street- optional for other parties- and dismiss the politicians that don't. Florida had a 20% drop in general crimes stats when 350,000 concealed carry permits were issued-- think of that compared to UK, how many civilian pistol carriers are ther outside of N Ireland?
