Great show !!
I can’t believe the sad state of our self defence laws.
While well meaning, this whole discussion is flawed on multiple levels.
The presumption that the attacker will ONLY have a knife at worst, is dangerous. Unfortunately a lot of people presume that due to very strict laws on firearm ownership in Canada, that somehow criminals will follow the law and won't have illegal, smuggled guns. We see on the news in the big cities these days that that is just not the case.
It is infuriating that in a whole discussion on self-defense, that there was not even a few minutes exploring the idea of firearms for defensive purposes. I know the Canadian government will not only discourage this, but say it is not viable, but yet politicians employ armed bodyguards. On top of that, if anyone knew how rigorous the vetting process is in approving firearms license applications, they would not have to consider the possibility of mental health people getting access to them. Canada's gun laws are much more strict than the US, and even legal handgun owners are very restricted in ownership from extremely tight and controlled storage and transport processes, to only using the handgun at an approved range (approved by the Chief Firearms Officer of the province). Yet these legal gun owners are not the problem, but the politicians are scapegoating them while giving criminals who smuggle guns into Canada and use them for crime, a pass.
As the lady in the audience implied, all this self defence class stuff is useless to someone who lacks the physical prowess or capacity to utilize it. Against a larger, younger attacker, the odds are severely against you. While I am not against the idea of learning to think more strategically and having environmental awareness, that only goes so far. Having your cell phone at the ready may sound fine, but in practice it is useless. If you have ever had to call the police and 911 in an emergency - but the time they show up the crime would have already happened.
Ultimately we are our own first responder. All of us have the right to protect the life that we have, and not cede it to some criminal who wants to take it. I will not let my kids be fatherless because I chose to cower in fear of legal consequences over doing what I should be doing as a father and as a man.
No one is talking taking the law in their own hands. As the lawyer said at the outset, there is a reasonableness aspect to the discussion. So would the average person do the same?
When considering circumstances and how a court would view, it consider the reasonableness aspect as well as some others. And in looking at the original story of the storeowner, some lessons can be gleaned:
If he had struck back in the store while the attack was either imminent or in progress, he would not be charged. The proportionality of how one defends themselves is important. Using a gun or a knife on someone who is unarmed will most likely incur charges. Also, obviously the party has to be innocent. If one instigated the attack, one can't claim self defence.
In the original story of the storeowner, he was wrong to chase after the meth head and whack him with the bat, but it also has to be considered the raw emotions at the time - he was just attacked, probably within an inch of his life. Had the attacker's bat hit him somewhere like in the head at certain spots he may have suffered grave injury or death. I am sure the adrenaline was running high there, and many people would have done the same. He probably doesn't want that guy coming back to attack him again and may have wanted to subdue him so he gets captured and not runs away only to come back again.
Personally I am in favour of citizens having the CHOICE to arm themselves with firearms IF they have been fully vetted with a firearms license and have gone through the mandatory training on how and when they can use it. Hunters and target shooters go through this rigorous regimen and you don't see them shooting up the corners of Jane and Finch in the big cities. It may not be for everyone but for those who are small, weak, frail, old, etc., it will provide much more of a fighting chance than silly martial arts techniques that may work for some, but I suspect for many it is only a feel good gesture. I'd rather be alive and have to face the legal consequences than to give up my life to a criminal who has no right to try to take it in the first place.
Before u support the drug addict imagine for a second your kid was working in the store and was attracted by the addict and what if your kid get injury that his life is over .
