Yeah, it's the same here of course. But that's the first problem, interpreting the future. It's not like in the US where the victim has the benefit of the doubt. Over here, in order to be justified to kill an attacker, you have to... let them kill you first (and once you're dead, then call the cops).
And in the case of firearms, the law is design to trap you, because if you follow it, you can't possibly have the gun at hand to be used in an emergency. I'm sure it's the same in the UK - it has to be dismantled and kept under lock in a safe and away from any ammunition (which you can't really keep much of at home anyway).
The court will never accept something like "oh, the attack just took place exactly when I happened to be cleaning my shotgun, I was so lucky". Keeping your gun "combat ready" is considered intent to use it with premeditation. In short, you become the aggressor regardless, and you're fucked.
