Understanding what Self-Defence means under the LAW....

Self-defence is available under common law and section 3 of the Criminal Law Act 1967, which allows a person to use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances in the prevention of crime (including defending yourself or another).
Section 76 of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008 clarifies how reasonableness is assessed:

The court considers the circumstances as the defendant honestly believed them to be (even if mistaken).

A person acting in the heat of the moment is not expected to “weigh to a nicety” the exact amount of force needed.

If a jury concludes that in a moment of unexpected anguish the defendant did only what they honestly and instinctively thought was necessary, that is strong evidence the force was reasonable.

Official sources include GOV.UK guidance on reasonable force against intruders and CPS charging standards on self-defence.

Instant arming(“weapon of opportunity”) vs carrying a weapon

Carrying an offensive weapon in a public place without lawful authority or reasonable excuse is an offence under the Prevention of Crime Act 1953. An “offensive weapon” includes anything made or adapted for causing injury, or any item intended to be used as such. Carrying something specifically “for protection” or against a general/possible threat is almost never accepted as a reasonable excuse (see Evans v Hughes [1972]).
Instantaneous arming / weapon of opportunity is different.

If, during or immediately before an imminent attack, you pick up a nearby everyday object (e.g. a stick, bottle, fire extinguisher, tool, book, or keys) and use it to defend yourself, this can amount to a reasonable excuse. Case law supports this distinction (e.g. R v Jura [1954], Ohlson v Hylton [1975]). The intent to use the item offensively must arise in the face of the imminent threat, not beforehand.

In short: using what is immediately to hand in a sudden confrontation is viewed far more leniently than arriving already armed.

Official sources include GOV.UK guidance on reasonable force against intruders and CPS charging standards on self-defence and weapons offences.

Where possible in a violent situation if you cannot escape you need to instant arm if you can.

Common objects can be used as shields or as in the case in Paris use a chair to pin the assailant down.
