I made no such claim regarding the law. I am pointing out the fact that carrying a gun does not guarantee one safety from 'twats with guns'.

Maybe not but in that type of situation I'd place my bets on an armed victim having substantially better chances.
How? This isn't a western where both are expecting the conflict and the quickest draw wins. In most cases the person that's intent on using a gun to kill someone shoots before the other even has a chance to defend. I don't see how carrying a gun increases survival chances unless the initiator has terrible aim.
