Probably criminals have some sort of bill of rights that I'm unaware of that prevent bodily harm being done to them while they are carrying out the crime...tongue in cheek there, but sort of not.

There is lots of case law in Canada that supports your rights to defend yourself. You will get a rough ride from the justice system but the law is on your side. Further, I'd rather be prepared to defend myself than hope I'm not victimized. The old saying, I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
