I feel that criminals have more rights than citizens. The law favours the criminal over the victims.

[Gurix]

Canadians should be allowed to defend themselves.

[inchardox]

When it comes to home defense there are no rules!!! period

I lost all faith in the Canadian justice system when the OPP Gestapo charged that woman with assault with a dangerous weapon for accidentally squirting a man with a squirt gun.

I am so disgusted with hearing how that if you’re a Canadian citizen that you can’t even INTEND to protect your own life - it’s got to be provable that a successful defense of your life is an accident of circumstance and you luckily came out of the situation alive.
I have ZERO Respect for Canada, their laws AND the people that feel that protecting one’s life is somehow unfair to the criminal that’s trying to take it.

If a woman working in her kitchen is attacked by a breakin robber and she defends herself with a kitchen knife, would she be charged? Probably yes if her knife was bigger than the attackers. The attacker is guilty and also the defender, an insane way of thinking.

Carry a metal pen. It is useful to write down a shopping list.

Criminals have NEVER obeyed the rules that's why they are criminals.

[vaughanhopkins]

Heck in Canada they would rather you be a victim . Someone breaks in and is a threat and they force you to use lethal force ....the law will probably turn you into a criminal in this country for not letting the punk harm your family or yourself

[MylesRoss-cb]

It's criminal that this channel isn't more popular, I'd say it should carry a minimum 5 years for the YouTube algorithm

[peterjanjanin]

I usually carry a knife, pocket clip always exposed. You never know if you might have to cut a seat belt to save someone😉

[lechasseur]

Canada is the most welcome country for criminal.
But the most agressive against the citisen triing to protect themsef against those criminal.

[TVN-nsgg]

The way the law thinks the victim is at fault, is like thinking that a rape victim wanted it.

[joamontio]

Canada needs a redo on self defense laws, they go too hard on the victim, like if someone would choose to get assaulted.

[CCFRtv]

Good overview on prohibited weapons and the law! Shared in our private groups ✌

BETTER TO BE JUDGED BY 12 THAN CARRIED BY 6

[jamesbrien]

We need to change our laws so that those who wish to can carry. Criminals are the problem, not those who want it as a hobby.

[DeeegerD]

My view, do what you have to do and deal with the consequences later. Everyone has the right to self defence.

We should be allowed to carry mace/pepper spray but it is against the law. It is a non-lethal way to protect yourself if you’re attacked when you’re out and about in my opinion. Instead I carry a travel size (3inches high) can of cheap hairspray. The cheap hairsprays are heavily laced with alcohol based lacquer and sting like crazy if you get it in the eyes. I got the idea from my uncle who is a barrister in London, England. As he says, “hairspray isn’t against the law”. However at home I now keep an asp in my bedside drawer. As a previous victim of a middle of the night break-in when I was 16 and home alone, I feel I need something more than a baseball bat to defend myself. Now I do own four handguns but the law states they must be locked away in a gun safe which isn’t very convenient for self defence and would probably land me in a world of trouble even if I did somehow manage to unlock, load and use one. So while I was down in the US a number of years ago I picked up an asp. Yes I know they are illegal here but I don’t care. I need something that packs a wallop but isn’t as big as a bat. Asps are perfect for that. Next to the asp in the same drawer is a can of bear spray and I will use both if the need arises. It’s sad that we can’t even be safe in our own homes anymore. It’s even sadder that we may be the ones who end up in prison for defending ourselves in our own homes.

Glad I live in the United States.

The reality is a few urban hell holes account for a disproportionate amount of violent crime.

That said, many people including myself legally carry loaded firearms and other tools(pepper spray, knives, stun guns, etc) for self defense.

When my county sheriff, two city police chiefs, my mayor and others recommend getting training and then always be armed, I’m following their recommendations.

All of us are our own first responders, we have to defend ourselves until police are able to respond.

I’m actually shocked that Citizens of any country support laws that discourage/penalize self defense.

Laws against self-defense encourage criminal behavior because those laws create compliant/docile victims that are easy prey.

Yes I am aware that while there are evil people in this world, I choose to live my life, not be paralyzed by fear.

Practicing good situational awareness avoids 90 percent plus of problems.

Since I do carry arms, my body language is that of a predator vs prey.

Criminology studies have found that predators are real good at reading body language, they pick easy prey.

Until Canadians culturally embrace self defense rights, then reform laws, it’s a no win for the average Canadian.
