We will use our gun, says Jolie

Los Angeles - Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt keep a gun in their house to protect their family.

The couple would do anything for their children - Maddox, six, Pax, four, Zahara, three, and two-year-old Shiloh - and wouldn't hesitate shooting someone if they tried to harm them.

Angelina - who is pregnant with twins - said: "If anybody comes into my home and tries to hurt my kids, I've no problem shooting them.

"I bought original, real guns of the type I used in Tomb Raider for security. Brad and I are not against having a gun in the house, and we do have one. I'd be able to use it if I had to."

As well as firearms, Angelina insists she is more than capable of tackling any assailant with her self-defence skills.

She added: "I tend to want to throw an elbow - I don't know why. I've learned all the punches, head-butts and kicks - yet getting someone with my elbow is my first instinct."

Fight training

Angelina, 32, and Brad, 44, are keen for their children to learn how to protect themselves when they get older - because the Tomb Raider actress believes everyone gets into a fight at some point in their lives.

She said: "I think it's good for anybody to learn a skill when it comes to fight training - be it kung fu, boxing or kick-boxing. Brad and I want our kids to learn it.

"They're going to get into a fight some day, so they might as well learn how to take care of themselves." - Bang Showbiz.com
