You can't delink gun rights with the use of lethal defense and expect to be taken seriously. They go hand-in-hand in this case. Canadian case law is repleat with convictions where someone in a scuffle shot another without a gun, and was convicted. The use of a gun is almost prima facie going to go against you in Canada.
Edit: also, in Canada it makes a big difference if you're defending your home as opposed to being in public.
