Err, what happens in a country where you can't pack a .44 magnum is that you occasionally get riots where a lot of property is destroyed, but very little death and injury is caused. I for one think this is for the best. (the lack of death and injury, not the rioting)
Unjustified hope is not a good thing, it stops people from taking effective steps linked to the reality of their situation. There's no reason to believe that God and his Kingdom are coming to save them - and anyone who tells them otherwise is a liar and a cheat.
No, because its not a lie and at some time, it will happen.

Rioters would think twice if people could blow them away with shotgun when they try to smash other peoples stuff.

Whether it will happen or not is besides the point. The issue is whether it is reasonable to believe it will happen on the basis of available evidence. Regardless of whether he exists, those who assert that it is reasonable to believe in the existence of Yahweh are lying.
Your belief that he actually does exist does not change that fact.

You can't just declare open season during riots. You have to be able to account for all the people who get shot.
Your use of force must be both necessary and reasonable in defending yourself or others, or in defending property, or in preventing a crime. Based on the facts as you honestly believed them to be.
There's nothing innate about British law that requires you to retreat or to let someone destroy or steal your property. There's not even anything that rules out the use of a first strike.
However, you will have to justify that use of force later as being necessary to stop the criminal. Which requires both that your use of force fall within very precise limits and - ideally - that you be able to prove it, (or at least give the jury very good reason to believe it.)
That is the step that most people fall down on. Self defence is not a warrant to just go around blowing people away.
Technically we have incredibly lax laws on self defence - if you're good at talking and setting up a situation you can get away with a hell of a lot.
