Attitude Counts in Self-Defense

And when the government forbids you the use of effective tools, you must improvise. Ontario family fought off home invaders using fire extinguisher and baseball bats

The owners of an Ontario home targeted twice by thieves in less than a month are speaking out, describing how they used baseball bats and a fire extinguisher to repel the second home invasion, which police believe targeted their vehicle.

In Texas, or Florida, this would be a very different story. In Canada the law abiding are disarmed. It is for their own protection, of course. That protection didn't stop them from being victimized, of course.

Three weeks earlier, the homeowners said there had been another break-in at their home, this time through a bedroom window. In that instance, the suspects carried hammers, according to the homeowners, who said they fought them off with a coat rack.

Clearly Canada should enact common sense hammer control. Or something.

Still, attitude carries the day.

Self-defense is a human right, but Canada doesn't see it that way. You must rely on the state, even for the things the state cannot provide.
