Unfortunately, bruce, the brit's don't have that option.
The gov't took all the guns, including most "sporting" rifles and shotguns after the Dunblaine school massacre (it was the guns' fault, you see, not that of the dangerous lunatic ... loonies are still walking the streets over there).
And if you defend yourself, you end up charged with assault or worse. There is a case in rural england where a guy was struck by home invasion robbers for a second or third time and he defended himself . I forget whether he did have a firearm or bludgeoned them with a cricket bat ... got a very long sentence for doing so, AND the guys who broke into the house got reduced sentences for their housebreaking for providing testimony at the homeowner's trial.
