If you pointed a gun at an unarmed police officer in the UK would they let you go?
Are there any instances where it is legal to use a gun as self-defense in the UK?
The use of firearms in self-defense is not common in the UK, and it is only allowed in certain circumstances. The individual must demonstrate that they had no choice but to use the gun to defend themselves or others and that the force used was necessary and proportionate.
