Way Up North

So, three armed invaders break into a home where they encounter two residents. In the resulting struggle one of the residents get s gun away from one of the home invaders and opens fire. The home invaders flee and one is wounded. The responding police then arrest the resident who defended himself for attempted murder and associated firearms charges. Maybe that's because he tried to nail 'em on the fly as they fled. Maybe it just a f****d up view of what is and isn't self-defense. Maybe it's just Canada. What I do know is I'm glad I'm down here south of their border were if three armed gits broke into my house I'd be allowed to defend myself.

Break-in suspect shot, man in home charged

More Canadian law enforcement...

...fuckwittery over at Sebastian's. Whatever happened to actually talking to a suspect to develop probable cause prior to slapping on the cuffs?

And yes, I know we have more than our share of such fuckwittery in the lower 48 as well.

My son pointed me to this.

In Canada...

Right to self-defence under assault

But it looks like there is push back from the Canadian courts, so maybe all is not lost.
