i feel much safer in the uk knowing an attacker/burglar is much less likely to have a gun, however the self defence laws in UK are much different (they favour the attacker in 90% of legal cases)
Personally speaking, last year i was charged with assult after a 35 year old man attacked me, and because he didn't bet on me putting up a fight, i ended up charged with assult and he got a police caution.
I kow in the US they would have taken a much more common sense approach of "it serves u right for attacking the kid"
