I'am too lazy to find the exact wording in the criminal code, but here is a basic summary.
'anyone applying any tool to protect or defend oneself as being the same as the actions of the perpertrator of the violence. This is a no-win situation and should be thoroughly checked into with a lawyer before anyone needs a lawyer. In Canada, Australia, and Great Britain, self defense is not a viable defense much of the time especially if the victim uses anything that was applied as a weapon, regardless of what that tool was - be it a pen or pencil or a nail file, a hat pin or whatever. '
Yeah it sucks, i know, but this isnt America.
