Usually 8-12 weeks, not prohibitively long, so what's the problem?With a firearms permit which is not obtained quickly

the problem is being defenseless for 12 weeksUsually 8-12 weeks, not prohibitively long, so what's the problem?
She really doesn't need a shotgun, I get the impression that homes in America are easy to break into. In the UK all you need are composite three point doors and ABS locks, capable of resisting crowbars and even police "battering rams".This is a lie.
As already correctly noted, she can own a shotgun, which is the overall best firearm for home self-defense.
Presumably, you've already been "defenceless" for months or years prior to wanting to apply for a firearms certificate. If you're in that much imminent danger, tell the local police.Vagabond63

by the time pinheads in government approve the permit someone could be dead
Armed housebreakers? Fair enough, but did she warn them she was armed? The footage implies she fired first and the burglars ran away. This would make her actions legally questionable. Shooting at someone running away, in the UK would open the shooter to charges of manslaughter at the very least. For example, Tony Martin (farmer) - Wikipedia
This is a lie.

Because the answer is far from "obvious" and much more complex than a simple "yes" or "no".
As I've stated countless times, when it was legal to own handguns in the UK I owned three. I enjoyed going to my gun club range. In my time, I've shot every calibre from .22 to .50. I have no objections to stable and responsible people, being properly trained and vetted, owning firearms. What I object to is allowing any Tom, Dick or Harriett to acquire deadly weapons, with minimal vetting and no training, and being allowed to walk around in public carrying loaded guns as you do in the US.

The police will tell you they dont have the manpower to station an armed guard outside your homePresumably, you've already been "defenceless" for months or years prior to wanting to apply for a firearms certificate. If you're in that much imminent danger, tell the local police.
Oh, BTW, I did a bit of research on this, and the incident is real. The woman was a serving military police officer in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Safe to assume she was trained in situational awareness and firearms and presumably had some experience in a dangerous environment. Not sure how matters would have played out if she had been a civilian who had bought a gun for "comfort" with no or minimal training, caught by surprise.
