I like how the CBC is trying to specify in this article that it's only "rural farm owners in the middle of nowhere" who want special rights to defend themselves.....
Right....just the rural farmers eh? How about every single ####ing law abiding Canadian? Whether it's in downtown Toronto or Northern Saskatchewan 20 miles down a dirt road, the outcome should always be the same: person x with long violent criminal past/record forces entry onto person Y's property who is a law abiding family man with no criminal record, person Y shoots person X, case does not go to court. Person X goes to jail if he is (unfortunately) still alive after conducting aggressive criminal behaviour.
F**king criminals and thieves. Kill them all. Open season on scumbags who attack the law abiding. Problem solved. Want to see property crime drop 200%? Send the message right here and now with this case. CASE DISMISSED! Two a**holes 5 years in prison mandatory sentence no parole. Sh*t heads across country take heed!
Guns only have two natural enemies; politicians and rust.
When your the "Man Of The House" and you have a wife, maybe young kids. And you see 2 or 3 or ... 5 people on your land or at your house, up to know good.. and you know it. Do you warn them to leave.. fire a shot or 2... Then see what happens. Or what if you have the chance to shoot one or two of them, to even the odds?

Unfortunately, the law is expressly written that you cannot defend property with force. He did break the law. I think with good defense he'll get minimal punishment. Face it folks, you can't harm the guy carrying the TV out of your house unless he swings at you first.
I'll happily donate. But unless the guys are kicking the door in, unfortunately you just can't do what he did.
With the scumbag thieves here in Alberta, especially during this latest oil bust, it's almost not worth having anything anymore. Someone'll try and steal it.
Are you allowed to eat doughnuts private Pyle?
I'd like to see the criminals prove in court that they were only there to steal.
What? They're going to produce references from prior victims?
A contemporaneous urine sample to show they were on their meds and nothing else?
A certificate from their Thieves' Guild that they've taken Anger Management?
It's bull####. Stay off people's property and you stay safe. Choose to violate a guy's house, you rolled the dice d-bag.
CSSA and now - on Trudeau's recommendation - CCFR
Then the law is f*cked and it needs to be changed. Just because it's a law it doesn't mean it's right.
Hell about 60 years ago in the USA blacks couldn't go to school with whites by law in almost all states.
I hate thieves. The only thing I hate worse than thieves though, is some politician in a suit 3000 miles away who lives in a castle surrounded by armed security guards telling me to just let the pieces of s**t take what they want and hide in the closet.
At least the thieves have clear intentions....
You don't want to die? Stay at home with your wife and kids at night and be a responsible, hard working, law abiding tax payer like the rest of us instead of prowling around peoples homes with unknown intentions.

You are wrong, sir.
