Sorry to be nit picky mate but...

I have a legal carry knife (>2” non-locking)

3"

Now I don’t wish for guns in the U.K.

We do have guns in the UK. You just can't own them for purpose of self defense or carry them around without a valid reason, but that's true of most countries including Norway and Switzerland. However, you can use anything for self defense on your own premise if it's considered reasonable force. There was a couple not so long ago that were having having their door battered down by a group of home invaders so the bloke took his shotgun and fired it at them. That was considered a reasonable use of force and no charges were pressed against them.

I get what you're trying to say, with guns being a privilege in the UK and not a right (I think the USA have got it right tbh), but the UK having a total gun ban is a myth.
