Hello OCDO!
I am quite new around here but I love the site already!
I was however confronted with the issue that we Canadians cannot carry in Canada because of both the Firearms Act (C-68) and Part III of the Criminal Code Of Canada which COMPLETELY forbids the carrying of weapons for the purposes of "Self Defense" as self defence is NOT for some strange reason recognized as a legal reason to carry a weapon. The only exception to this applies to peace officers, police, armed services and armored guards in armored cars. The only times you can lawfully be in possession of a weapon in Canada is hunting, target practice (at a legally acceptable location under certain circumstances) and also obviously while one is in one's home or residence.
I would seriously like some help putting extreme pressure on the government to change all of this. I have so far been unseccessful to say the least in writing letters and trying to convince others to do the same. Truth be told though, I am sick of getting robbed or mugged and sick of hearing of people being victims and crime statistics. Rather than being defenders. I refuse to be victim but there is nothing I can do. I did even talk to local law enforcement officers and they told me I cannot have a weapon in my possession. Hell they even threatened to search me even though I just walked up to them and told them I have been a victim on quite a few occasions! I couldn't believe that bull****! I wasn't rude or anything but they were very quick to tell me "Listen here! You don't do anything but call us. I don't care how many times it's happened to you, you let us deal with it. That's why you pay taxes!" and then he shook his head and him and his buddies walked away. I was just curious was all and he really freaked out on me.
We are allowed to defend ourselves but denied the means to do it. It doesn't make any sense at all. I was really frustrated before I asked the officers and now I am nearly on a warpath since this has got to come to an end. I will not be robbed one more time out on the street.
I was wondering if anyone is interested. Thanks!
