ya we pay big taxes, have very little police in this city, have people breaking down front doors in wealthy areas of the city, and we aren't allowed to protect ourselves. politicians are more focused on protecting the rights of the criminals. speed limits at 30 and 40 km/hr, bike lanes and flower pots on every street. At least it used to be safe here.

Case is clear-cut, legal expert says

Ari Goldkind, a criminal defence lawyer, said the case appears to be a clear-cut case of self defence.

Goldkind said the Crown had to ask two questions: Is there a reasonable prospect of conviction? Is it in the public interest to proceed? Those questions must be applied against the facts of the case, he added.

Under the Criminal Code, Goldkind said a person is not guilty of an offence if an act is committed for the purpose of defending oneself or someone else, but the act of self-defence has to be "reasonable" under the circumstances. The act must be "no more force than is reasonable," he said.

"We're not Texas, we're not Florida with Stand Your Ground, where everybody can walk around with a concealed carry weapon," Goldkind said on Monday.

"The fact that there's a lawfully registered firearm in the home here is important. But for pure self-defence, if you're met with the threat of imminent harm, something very serious coming your way, your life is in danger, you are allowed to use as much force as is reasonably necessary to protect yourself."

 

this is why I don't argue with people when I already know that I'm right. if you're going to be a good firearms owner you need to be a student of the firearms act and the applicable laws and not go by youtube. btw, firearms legal defence insurance is 100 bucks per year.

 

You don’t know what you are talking about. So quit already.

 

How about using rubber shot?

 

or...

 

You are still discharging a firearm.

 

How about this scenario...guy breaks in and has a knife, you have a machete and he charges at you with knife in hand.

Can you strike him first or do you need to wait until he stabs you?

 

no witnesses.

 

Agree with Onami here..........

 

I think you're supposed to wait for him to say "I'm going to harm you and your family" first.

He could just be low on blood sugar and he's just looking for cake.

And if there's a door or window next to you, be prepared to explain why you didn't use it.

 

We're Canadian, we don't say stuff like this. You do realize this is a public forum right?

 

explanation: I don't run away and leave my family at the mercy of the scumbag. people in other rooms nay not even know that they are in danger. attack us at your peril.

 

 

We have 2 EV's.....

no one in their right mind would want a EV.....

problem solved.
