I have had enough and in 2025 I am LEARNING TO SHOOT A HANDGUN, I am in class and everything. My concealed carry arc where I post cute outfits that allow me to pack heat will be legendary (I won’t actually do that but theoretically I could)

as much as I don't love US gun culture, I also don't feel safe in my home in canada and can't legally own *any* firearm to protect myself or my family. and to add salt to the wound, you also risk prosecution for defending yourself against home invasion or other intruders.

You risk prosecution for defending yourself against a home intruder, but as far as I understand, you are able to defend yourself, it just has to be proportional to the threat.  So I imagine you could yell at an intruder to get out, and if they still force their way in, hit them with a bat or something and if they then attack you, you could use lethal force.  

As scary as all that could be, I do think it's preferable to people in the US shooting at kids who ring their doorbell or firing on cars who drive in their driveway.
