example of brilliant polish law:
few years back two motherfuckers break into home of one guy (knife collector), in a home there was his wife and young daughter, burglars yelled at him they will rape his wife and daughter if they won't come down (from upstairs, apparently he's keept door closed) a man called police and explained situation (do you think they come on time? lol...) when the fight starts (two burglars come upstairs finally) our knife collector deadly wounded one guy with some big slasher and hurt other (sadly other one survived) needless to say burglars were armed in melee as well.
medics managed to save one of the attackers, turns out when police comes that they were ex-cons who have rapes, and robbery on their record. the one who survived sued our man who defended his family and our guy landed in jail for few years - because he used weapons agains those two :D
now he is suing our government for a lot's of cash, i wish him the best.
so bottom line to answer your question: no, in poland it's better to lay down and let attacker to rape and slash you, at least you will not end in jail (it's not a joke). i envy american's their law that actually let them defend themselve, one of few things i love in america.
