In 1995, Ottawa resident James Morrow endured an even worse ordeal. A man with whom Morrow had a business dispute kicked in his apartment building’s door in a drunken rage. The man proceeded to Morrow’s unit, where he claimed he had a gun and was there to “blow [Morrow’s] head off.” Morrow immediately called 911 and spent a harrowing nine minutes on the telephone with the operator, during which time police failed to arrive. The intruder finally smashed down the door and entered his home, whereupon Morrow, also a legal handgun owner, shot him dead. Morrow was charged with murder; his court battle lasted two-and-half-years, despite being a textbook example of a legitimate use of force according to the judge dismissed the charges against him.

wherever i sit down my ars
I've owned one gun in my life. 22 long rifle. Don't know much about em I got this to hunt rabbits and target practice with my cousins. One night about 3am someone pounds on my front door. My family sound asleep I got my rifle and flung that fukkin door open ready for business. It was the elderly neighbor man letting me know to pull the irrigation panel. I got rid of the gun and haven't owned one since. Never shot a rabbit either.

There really should be more thought about how a main entry is designed. Even with technology many decades ago, an electrical circuit that is less complicated than a telephone could have given you the ability to talk to the person at your front door.Maybe you would still be having fun shooting paper and rabbits.

Well, now let's see:-

How about the stats for Chicago for 2016. Is that what you mean by civilized?? And look at the stats so far for the New Year!! That is NOT civilized. It is a war zone!!

I'm leaning increasingly in favour of more liberal gun laws in exchange for less military spending. In fact, I might even be in favour of requiring that all high school students receive basic military training in the summer months as a part of the credits required to graduate from high school, with some maybe being exempted on medical or other compassionate grounds.

That way, we'd have a state in which even those who do not own a firearm would still know how to use one since they would all have learnt it in high school.

But it would save the taxpayer in military spending by reducing the need for as large a military force.

I believe we would be spending much more on our hospitals and doctors in place of Canada's military spending, We do not spend a whole lot now on military spending in Canada, but our medical care is very costly, Adding the care of gun violence victims would be prohibitive,. In the US, medical care such as it is, is very minimal and with Trump threatening to do away with what now exists, it is not even a decent alternative there,

Really bad solution in my opinion,

Canada has never been as bad as Chicago. Not even 35 years ago when Canada didn't have the laws that it does today.
