In general the law actually allows you to defend yourself with the same amount of force being applied. For example knives against knives, guns against guns. Going beyond that can actually get you in trouble. Furthermore using any restricted or prohibited weapons in self defense will definitely get you criminal charges. The argument is you can't possibly retrieve such weapons in time if properly stored. So stick with the good old fashioned shotgun and keep a clean toy pistol around for planting.
