Home Self Defence Suggestions

  • Standard Byrna models exceeding 5 joules are now prohibited for civilian ownership under 2026 reforms is-this-legal.comis-this-legal.com.
  • Byrna HD and similar less-lethal launchers may be legally owned with a valid firearms license and adherence to safety and transport regulations is-this-legal.comis-this-legal.com.
  • Chemical irritant rounds are banned, while kinetic rounds are allowed byrna.cabyrna.ca.
  • Carrying in public is prohibited, and use is limited to lawful self-defense or controlled environments byrna.cabyrna.ca+1.
    In summary, the legality of a Byrna launcher in Canada depends on the specific model and compliance with federal and municipal regulations. Prospective owners should verify the device’s classification and ensure all licensing and safety requirements are met.
 
Op is brand new today and most likely looking for a quote or some cannon fodder. Fu3king Polly regards. If he is serious and a legitimate
new member, I’d say Rhodesian ridgebacks, male and female so if one is killed the other goes ape #### and whatever non restricted firearms you already own, stored within the constraints of the law. No point buying a new gun w whatever you already have would work, in the rare case that you would need a gun under Canadian law

To attempt to survive the liberal legal system, you might try a 12 gauge with non lethal rounds, like Lightfield rubber buckshot. Would certainly deter whatever was coming. If it escalated you could escalate to real ammo

Catch & release of criminals who invade your home, all the while trying to harm you and your family isn't an option for the most part........:unsure:

We already have a Liberal Catch & Release program going on daily in Canada.........:oops:

You feared for your life, and/or grievously bodily harm. Say good-night Dyck.

Like you, my wife and I live in a semi-remote rural area in eastern Ont. We have bears, wolves, coyotes, raccoons etc. in and around our bush lot, so it is perfectly reasonable for us to have pepper spray on hand, and on our belts when we're outdoors. We are both in our late 70s so no longer swift of foot or fist. I do have firearms on the place, but obviously those would be a last resort. While home invasions here are not as common as in urban centres ( yet) they do occur .
The weak part in most residential home doors is that no matter how expensive a lock or deadbolt you install, it will likely socket into nothing more substantial than a 3/4" factory frame often made of a softwood or the very weak Philippine mahogany. A swift boot will break most deadbolt tongues free of that in no time. The hinge side is almost as equally vulnerable.
Both my front and back door frames are reinforced with 3/4" plywood glued and screwed between the door frame and the 2X6 wall framing. Easy, cheap improvement that will delay a would-be punk long enough for legitimate inhabitants to prepare a welcome.
If it becomes necessary to discharge bear spray indoors, it should be borne in mind that it lingers in the air and you are going to season yourself as well as a perp unless you take a deep breath before firing, and retreat immediately.
Of course intending to use bear spray against humans is illegal, but if bought for a legitimate use by someone in a rural area it is reasonable to have one on hand, and if faced with protecting yourself and loved ones against an outside threat, it would be reasonable to use whatever is on hand.
Hornet spray makes a dandy substitute. It fires a solid stream a good distance and goes where you aim it. Not quite as effective as a load of buck, but a very good deterrent. Again, it's a reasonable thing to have in your home.
Another handy, but 'politically correct' weapon is the small version of aerosol boat horns. Those things will fit in a pocket or purse but make a racket loud enough to wake the dead 100 yards away. A noise that loud will make an aggressor stop what he's doing for a second or two; long enough for you to retreat or access stronger measures.
You are half way to success already, just by having started to think about the unpleasant necessity of defending your home. Home invaders' main weapon is surprise and terror. Like all bullies they don't expect determined resistance of any kind, and by thinking about variables beforehand you put yourself in a much better situation. By being smart enough to also consider the legal ramifications you are well ahead of the game.
I am no lawyer, and wouldn't dream of giving advice about when and how to employ firearms for self defense. Suffice it to say that that is the ultimate choice an individual may have to face if confronted by a potentially fatal threat. The best we can hope for is that we are able to act reasonably under incredible stress, and that our increasingly questionable courts agree with that evaluation.

Surviving a home invasion has a better result when you are very far from any police that come looking to charge the victim.

Shoot a home invader with a non-lethal 12 gauge round and they will sue you to the point, your house will be their house.

NEVER use non-lethal ammo. Very, very bad advice my friend.......:(

Any scenario that ends up with a body or significant injury to another person will likely end up fighting it out in court, even just the threat of violence to a home intruder may end up with you being arrested.

The best you can do is make sure that you can prove you acted in good faith and in self defense. (Ensure you can identify your target clearly, issue a clear verbal warning and have a good lawer)

But this is Canada.

Hardening the target may run afoul of "anti fortification " laws. They are likely to be municipal, so they can vary a lot, but basically, if it slows down an intruder, it can also slow down the police, and we don't want that.

Having a firearm with non-lethal ammunition may indicate that you planned to use it for self defense, a major no-no. The same firearm with hunting or target ammunition is easier to present as a weapon of oppotunnity. A little harder to argue premeditation.

Unlike popular belief you can defend yourself by any means necessary if you believe your life is in danger! Have a good lawyer on speed dial and DO NOT TALK TO THE COPS EVER!!! Trust me I know cause I’ve been through it. Costs me some money but came out ok in the end. And yes I used a firearm in the process.

Best advice on this thread. Oh yeah.....always make sure bullet holes are on the front of the body. That indicates the skell was in attack mode. If the body needs to disappear,bury it 8' or deeper. Even ground penetrating radar or cadaver dogs won't find it.
 
Lots of good advice already given on reinforcement to the house and a good dog with a fu¢k off bark will do a lot.

If it ever happens that someone enters your home and you need to defend, do what you need to do to protect your family and don't say a word to anyone without your lawyer. Don't talk to the cops if they get involved.
 
^ ^ Maybe just put 'all that stuff' on the front porch ? ? Much safer to avoid a 'confrontation'. I wouldn't want a 'guest' inside, just my choice.

Secure windows and good locks on your doors... keep a baseball glove or two, a baseball and a bat handy. You never know when you might use them.
If you have a PAL buy a shotgun and some shells and a trigger lock and a lockable box to keep the ammo in.
There may be bears when you go walking so bear spray would be handy as well.
