Canadian question

In 1996, in Ontario, could you shoot a house breaker?

 

Today's episode in FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE. The two boys went to the bar and when they get back to the house where they are renting a room at 1:00 in the morning, they realize they have no house key. Can't wake the landlady up. Not at 1:00 in the morning. So one of them climbs a tree to go in a second story window. Unfortunately this second story window is the landlady's bedroom. And as he is coming through the window she is standing next to it with some large ceramic object about to brain him.

 

And as I read that I was thinking - good thing they're not in the states, because the landlady'd have a gun and shoot him.

 

But this strip was originally printed in 1996. The gun laws were undoubtedly looser back then. But were they that loose?

What little I know about British law, The Land Lady would be charged with assault and would likely get jail time. I would expect Canadian laws to be similar.

 

Defending yourself is against the law. :(

If you are going to ask a "Canadian" question you have to do it properly, EH?

The correct spelling of Canada. CND

C eh, n eh, d eh.

In Canada, firearms are legislated to be locked up, unloaded, when not in use.

In addition, to being locked up, handguns are to be trigger locked when not in immediate use

Are your criminals polite enough to let you at least unlock and load your guns?? Didn't think so. :angry:

Well, the Laurentian Elites think so since they appear to be well shielded and protected.

The rest of us?

Not so much, since we have to live in the real world,.
