boy this conversation would be different in USA...lol...right to bear arms

Well, this is the way I see it. We live 30km from the nearest town so phoning 911 just isn't going to work besides, there's never a cop around when you need one anyway.
If someone came around with the intention of causing trouble with my family they would find it easier to get onto the property than it would be to leave. This is a photo of my daughter and Marley a 200lb English Mastiff and he really loves his people , mess with his family and you won't live to see tomorrow.

P.S. There's no such thing as a bad kid ,just bad parents. Where's your kid tonight?

I have taken the laws in my hands a few times, when it comes to protecting my family I really dont care if its legal I do what it takes, now im one of the people in our town that could leave the keys in my bike or car and know one will touch it. So I dont have many problems anymore but back in the day I layed down more then one beating for people getting out of line, I even chased some trouble causing kids on to the roof of a department store and held the there until police arived, they had dropped a huge ice chunk on the hood of my 69 Amassador I was pissed, so when I had them cornered on the roof of the store the one punk sad you cant touch me im a young offender and I kindly pointed out that it was just me and him on the roof and im pretty shure people fall of roofs that they are not supossed to be on all the time. When Jan worked down town London I made her carry a knife and told her never pull it out to thretten a attacker, if she had to pull it out use it, I know my opinions are a little radical but because of our laws and lack of freedoms that todays youth is getting out of control!

I figure anybody i find in my house that wasn't invited in is not there to say. "hello!' and has only malice in thought. I will defend my family and property.

Better to be judged by twelve than carried by six.

Is it any wonder that it is called the "Criminal Justice System"? It certainly isn't for any justice to law abiding citizens.

What he said!!!!

 

A lock on your house ,car, garage or fenced in compound is only to keep the HONEST MAN OUT.If anybody crosses that fine line.Then they enter at their own risk.Sure you should call the police but are you going to wait to see what might happen to your family by time they get there. The problem with this country is that the rights of the the inocent people are to limited and there is to many do gooders.EG: They have there rights to. Like when they have video evidence or a conviction. We the tax payers have to pay for a trial. Every thing is all messed up.Our justice system is a joke!

A string of thefts and vandalism by teenagers in the neighborhood and lack of response by the police escalated this event. It was not due to three innocent teens taking a shortcut across the yard.

Here is something that a U.S. member of Team Chevelle posted about 2 years ago. Of course the Right to Bear Arms is a lot different from the official view here in Canada. We don't have but a fraction of the gun crime they have in major U.S. cities, but for now i will leave that one alone.

Food for thought, I'd say...



My father died recently. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He served this country in WW II with 3 tours in the RCAF. He never has had any problems with the law.

Once the police recieved notice of his death they arrived at my mom's place, 9 AM Sunday morning. They confiscated all his guns, all our family heirlooms. His beautiful Browning 12 guage, his 30/06 Remington bolt action, his other shotguns, a .22 and a Luger that he brought home after serving in WW II. The cops took everything, all his amunition that was locked up separately. The Luger has already been destroyed (that is if it isn't sitting in some cop's private gun collection). My older brother had an expired Firearms Aquisition Certificate so they told him "too bad, they aren't going to hold onto the long guns of ours forever." He has renewed the certificate and is the process of getting our registered long guns back, if it is possible.

Did you know that once you have registered guns in your house, the police do not need a warant to enter your house? Incredible!

This stupid registry does nothing to prevent any of the gang gunplay at Jane & Finch, domne with unregistered 9mm & .45 handguns. I suppose if a cop is entering a house they want to know if there are guns there. So the cops can treat you like a criminal and shoot your dog. Sorry.

our legal system really REALLY sucks! but unfortunatly, its the only one we have.........

I have nothing better to do this afternoon so why not weigh in again.

Attention everybody go back and read the facts. Facts not made up fiction. Here it is for those who failed to read it:

The youths were running across yards at night.

Where does it say thev broke into a house, where does it say they were stealing anything, where does it say they were threatening people. NEWS FLASH it does not. Please stick to the facts when formulating answers.

Imagine what you might do if someone threatened your kid with a shotgun because they were running through yards at night.

Based on the comments above it would a gunfight at OK Corral and someone would be dead and I suspect it would be the guy with the unloaded gun.

My kids are raised to respect their neighbour and wont run through the back yard in the middle of the night and if I caught them id give them a good kick in the arse.

Again and again, Red Herrings that have nothing to do with the story posted. 

Lots of tough talk, but once you have a family member in law enforcement, like a kid you change diapers for, your view might change. How many on here have enough guts to face the prospect of having a bat, a knife or a gun pulled and used on you at work everyday? I've heard enough about how crappy the Police are. Enough thanks.

Im sorry Ray you are a nice guy but being a Motorcyle enthusist with some friends with questionable back grounds, I dont have the same respect for the law as you do, I have been herassed, assaulted, intimidated, and stole from by some of our finest in uniforme not all cops are bad but some shure do get a big head with that badge. I have had up to 6 police officers attack me at one time when I was walking into the police station on my own. Now on the other hand I have met some really nice cops and most of them will agree that the law gets abused all the time. My dad was a factory worker his entire life, more factory workers die in one week then cops in a entire year! its there job to be put in harms way, they chose it, so I dont put them on a pedistal for enforcing laws that abuse our freedom. Now with that said I agree what they do is very honurable, and they are needed but they should get no more praise then the fellow that works in a chemical filled factory, with smoke in his lungs, trying to feed his family.
