Actually, it has always been part of my world view - any entity (state, business, household, etc.) that prevents you from protecting yourself should be liable for harm befalling you from criminal act while you are subject their will in this matter. If they don't want to assume responsibility, they can let you carry.

That might very well be an argument, but i'm not sure it's a win-able one.
