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.

I love self defense. Relying on the state for self defense is a slippery slope.

I have so many mixed feelings on guns in the US, but definitely appreciate the right to self defense. With that said there are still lots of caveats in the US and what rights you do have vary from state to state. Some make it your last resort, others justify it if they just step foot on your property.

Dude, you can own a gun. You need to take a course on how to operate and store it safely, which ends in you receiving a Possession and Acquisition license which allows you to purchase at a store. Courses are easy, takes a bit to get the PAL, then you are set.

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.
