SELF DEFENCE IN CANADA: PROHIBITED WEAPONS 

Yes. In Canada and in liberal states in the U.S.

You feel that way because it is true. Criminals carry firearms and other weapons. Normal citizens can not even protect themselves.

Why do you think you need to carry a weapon for self defence? Your getting your fear and propaganda from USA.

Weapons laws are written to prevent citizens from becoming victims. Like all things they aren't perfect but they do work. We'd probably be doing better if the the insanity to our south wasn't a relatively easy to access supply of weapons.

Women, criminals, politicians, police and sworn members of the courts all have more rights then men especially if the man is white.

It's the liberal way.

According to the wokist stack, the criminal is the victim of society, it is the society that forced them to be that way, same reason it is all ways the weapons fault, never the person holding the tool, it is divorced from reality, like all neo-liberal ideas.

@@mrofnocnon Exactly why I’m staying right here in the states

there is NO "stand your ground" defense in Canada in the legal process (the processing). Ask me and my 19 grand to my lawyer how I found that out ON MY PROP ERTY

@@DwightStJohn-t7y I'm sorry for that. It is so unfair, so what do you do? Let them kill you? I would rather go to jail knowing my family is safe....

Agreed 👍

U got that rite

Bowie knife and bear spray.

Fu*king right brother i fully agree

Fukin Canada buddy

agreed

Gee golly that's a new one....sheesh..

Amen

@@hnic72 I heard that statement from an instructor I had in Police College! I agree with it 50years later.

Save urself by whatever means possible .deal with justice system later .better than the alternative

Criminals don't follow the laws, murder, gRape and steal...etc. they get bail Citizen's follow the law, get punished by politicians, get punished by police, the citizens pays for everything with their taxes. Citizen defends themselves from criminals and has to go to court and pays fines and possibly go to jail. Yeah, that sounds fair. 🤪

Intent is everything. They could make a rule tommorow that says you must give up everything you own then be eatin by a bear in rural canada. Would you follow such a rule? You'd be a criminal if you don't right? 😂

Tankyou Trude

Nah, I think it is Sweden

Politicians and police are the problem. Billions wasted on crappy public sector leeches.

​@D33Lux politicians yes, you think police are the problem? I would disagree

@@lechasseur63 Trudeau has nothing to do with that, it's been that way for decades.

How I understand it, is that any object you plan to use to defend yourself, becomes a weapon and is therefore illegal. If my understanding is correct, your metal pen becomes a weapon because you said it is, and therefore you can be charged. Crazy situation, we are not allowed to plan to defend ourselves.

@@petertyrrell6690 ah but I never once said I would use it as a weapon. It was to be an idea for others. As I do t need a pen. I am smart enough to realize that anything can be used. But others are not that industrious. I once got mugged by 2 guys. I was with 2 friends. I had a flashlight. They didn’t get anything. And no, I didn’t use the flashlight, I used words to diffuse that situation. But I would have used the flashlight if they turned violent.

@@CP-ji2bb Yeah, you did imply that a metal pen could be a weapon. I personally think that it should be lawful to plan our self defense, as there is no way the police will be able to react in time to assist. Canadian self defense laws are ridiculous, benefitting the attacker.

​@@petertyrrell6690 never tell the police that you carry the pen (or anything else) for self defense if you've had an incident where it was used for self defense.

@@jrplus416 Absolutely Agree.

@@vaughanhopkins3642 protect yourself f.the rest

Sadly after the past few decades, I can't wait! And I'm far from the only one that wants to reboot this place

Perhaps but who will have the weapons? Certainly not the public!

@@mrofnocnon I don't have any, lost a lot when my car sunk

@@Refertech101 Yeah, I guess most of us had similar problems!

@@DeeegerD true

Suggest you read No More Mr. Nice-guy, it's a guide to self defence and civilian powers of arrest in Canada

those plastic sides saved a finger or two for me: cutting carpet with 400 power line underneath, super wanting to go fast. and that knife steel is really good. works.

Mine has a blade lock.

@roberthuet4549 esasier and cheaper to buy illegal weapon than a legal one

We have black bears visit regularly. I generally don't worry about them. But it's a good reason to have bear spray. FYI bears spray is much stronger then pepper spray. It has to be.

The bat is better than an asp. Plus it's legal. A tire iron is also excellent if you have a truck. Just keep some other tools with it.

Your allowed a 6inch blade on your knife. I'm in Canada and carry a 6inch buck knife and dog spray. However neither are legal to carry for self defense. So if a cop asks you about them. You gotta be very careful what you say.

Don't forget to leave your keys hanging just inside your door and your wallet on the dresser near the door. If you are being attacked don't resist it may make the perp angry. Oh Canada

When my county sheriff, two city police chiefs, my mayor and others recommend getting "training and then always be armed, I’m following their recommendations." The same people giving you limited liberty's today, can take away those liberty's tomorrow. This is why I don't believe in licenses or permits, those expire, freedom never expires. While their intention maybe good now, lets no forget that throughout history, it was governments who responsible for the mass genocides.

Well, US has about 5x more peoples die by firearms per 100,000 persons. I'm a gun owner and, for me, US is the example not to follow on that matter. And I like USA.

2/3 rds of gun deaths are suicides, clearly we need to address emotional/mental health issues. As far as homicides, 70 percent are direct/indirectly related to the illegal drug trade/gangs. 2 percent of US counties account for 70 percent of our gun related violence. Ironically the areas in the US with the worse crime have the strictest gun controls on law abiding citizens. Of course when we have prosecutors who refuse to actually enforce laws, release violent offenders with no bail, of course we get chaos. Assuming we have relatively honest elections, things will get better in 2025.

it's not going to change. ALL Canadian political parties want control, and allowing defense (without getting into the gun "Rights" arguments) isn't keeping their control.

​@guillaumepare9651 - I disagree. Just look at our escalating crime! The politicians, judges and lawyers don't care about Canadians!

That's better then nothing... I'm so gald I'm an American

Damn if I was alone on a farm I'd want atleast a shotgun or a rifle, get your P.A.L so you can have those atleast.

Someone online said, crossbows are 100% legal to own and don't require safety storage like firearms, no regulations. They said you can keep it around you at all times if situations happen like a raccoon or larger animal comes into your home. They said you can buy a self cocking small crossbow called the Bear desire XL 80lb online and delivered to your home. They said Amazon sells additional bolt for that cross bow. They also mentioned you can reload it in 3 seconds and it can go through 1/4 pine board. Can't remember who that person was, but its good advice.

@@MackABD or go to the reserve with some cash! You'll get what you need

@Refertech101 yeah if your on a farm in the middle of no where , not like your randomly gonna get raided for having a shotgun without a pal lol

Where in the Bible does it say that?

Human rights are gun rights.....that and all living things have survival instincts. They're ain't a book for that. Government makes rules and are not obligated to protect you.

it is the thief that decided their life is worth my property, not I

Talk to your lawyer? Yeah, fvck that! You've obviously never been in a violent situation. The only advice I would give anyone is, why are you still at the scene? What are you Sherlock fvcking Holmes solving a crime, get you dumb butt out of there. If any situation happens, do what you have to do and leave. Remember, police ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND and "Everything you say and do will be held AGAINST YOU in a court of law. What part of that is for your defence? The cops job is to charge people, make sure you're not around to have handcuffs put on you.

IN Canada don't expect the "advocacy" you see on USA TV shows dating from Perry Mason to today. Even though Raymond Burr was a Canadian.

Geez, that's way too close for comfort. Good choices, might wanna add bear spray to your camping gear.

@@D33Lux ..bear spray, check. SKS, check. Sub2k, check. (but for noise-making and paper-punching only.)...

And so does Justin Trudeau and he isn't even at my level intellectually.

I have a stick that goes boom, quite effective.

Oh and there is a good chance they might be who made you a victim , try recording them with your phone in public and see how that goes for you .

Canada and it's judges AND your own defense lawyer do not like juries. You can't control them. You only have TWO controls as the "hapless defendant": to plead Guilty or Not Guilty, and whether you will take the stand. That's it.

Everything is illegal

Yes, because its intent is to protect your self, I used to carry a 7inch knife on my belt every where, it was my work knife for doing farm stuff (This was true at the time as it is now) it was in a proper sheath with a retaining clip, perfectly legal, but if I ever answered "For self defense" I'd be arrested and charged.

I've asked this question to many people, my conclusion is society is stupid and weak. No one values themselves or their livelihood enough to make decisions for themselves, and have allowed a giant, tyrannical government that is equivalent to a drunken step father to abuse them. Society pays taxes, the public sector is their employee which includes politicians and cops. Why are the employees (government workers) telling their bosses (tax payers) what to do. All those weapons cops have, yeah, that's tax payer funded. So these donut eating lard butts get full auto M4 carbines, full capacity magazines, OTF knives, pepper spray, tazers, they get to call back up which is essentially a nation wide army at their disposal and the public gets what in return for the billions wasted in tax payers money? All police should be fired, a citizen militia is instantly activated and everyone deputized and can conceal or open carry any form of tool and weapon like the police did. Now lets see how many criminals want to rob an armed militia.

All Canadian rights are alienable actually. Its actually in the charter of rights itself section 1. It explains that all the rights are subject to legal scrutiny in circumstances deemed "reasonable" by the state - it's why we have hate speech laws and the US does not for example.

@@craigstege6376 Sorry but your understanding of inalienable rights isnt correct. These rights are not given by a govt or anyone for that matter. You as a human have inalienable rights and they are the right to life. liberty and the security of your person. Anyone trying to take those rights away is committing a crime. It doesnt matter where you live those "rights" are yours.

@@aywitb911 Oh I get that. I am just saying those are not required to be recognized by the courts here. Believe me, I get what you mean wholeheartedly. Its why I increasingly want out of this country.

@@craigstege6376 I think the infection has spread to most countries...

Not for me, the police are hours away

No it is a cold machine that just churns gears, and take the easiest path of a win for them as possible.

I couldn’t have said it better myself. Why “feel safe” when you can arm yourself to be safe? I don’t care what anyone says about firearms, knives or other weapons criminals use. The way I see it, it’s either me or the criminal, and I was not going to let it be me. Seems to me that the law favors criminals more than the citizens. And duty to retreat isn’t doing anything but keeping you weak and helpless. Also, duty to retreat can get you killed because bullets do outrun human speed

Careful with that vasoline, if it ends up hurting the attacker in your home, you are liable. I’m with you about how vulnerable we are.

@@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel The big issue in Canada, is intent. But rather than pursue solely intent, prosecution is far reaching and fishes for everything and anything they hope can stick. And legal aid? lol, you better hope you have an attorney, and arent banking on any help from legal aid service. Lets talk bear spray (mace/pepper) You can carry bear spray to walk your dog (you live in the country, coyotes/black bears are common) or when out hiking but when you are approached by a mugger or violent perpetrator, use your bear spray? You are in for it, let me tell you. Charged with possession with prohibited weapon. Charge with threats of deadly force. Charged with assault with prohibited weapon. Charged with concealed weapon. Charged with pointing and discharging prohibited item. Now granted, in the courtroom you can fight this off, better with all the probable grounds checked off such as, 1-you warned the perpetrator, and he had brandished weapon first. 2-you felt justified in concern for safety, 3-lt was not concealed, you had a spray in a visible holster. 4-you did not use excessive force (kick and beat the sprayed assailant once sprayed) and 5-you had the spray for bears and coyotes in purpose -> not for human use. 6-you were in the act of walking the dog or hiking and in that environment when it went down. There is a highly reasonable chance this will not go far in court, a judge will sympathize with the dog walker and not the crown and RCMP. HOWEVER......you are still going to get slammed with legal fees, tedious time in courts and pre-trial, charges that may stick to your name and records permanently even if exonerated, limitations to possession going forward or even being bonded, time away from work or you can even lose your job, family uncertainty, as well as depression and total lack of trust in canadian government and judiciary from then on. Something most definitely is wrong here.

@@demetrioshristovski4518 I’m disabled, and I am because a driver under the influence made me that way and he got off he should have been charged with under the influence and possession and possible intent to sell due to the quantity, and further to support that his social media content shown blatantly the individual he is. The insurance treated me like as if I were a criminal. Pretty much lost everything. I have very little faith in the system. I understand you don’t want a wrong conviction, but when things are clear as day and technicalities, loopholes and corruption are given favour, it’s pretty sad and disappointing.

​@@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel A strong attorney is a must. Legal aid provides very little, if any help. This is a minimal standard of help.

BC is a sh-t hole, why I left in 2013 it was bad all ready from every thing I have seen and heard it gone exactly how I expected it to! Now I live nicely in the #racist #bigoted (According to a lot of people in BC) prairies and love it Affordable and little to no gang shoot outs

Police all carry prohibited pistols and prohibited magazines in Canada. They have exemptions under the "firearms act".. You can use any "reasonable" force to protect yourself and dependents. You will be charged but might have enough money to win. Clay

Guberment is all ways exempt from guberment law, they can do what ever they want, you pesky surfs just have to accept it and take it.

"prohibited weapon shoe turdo said so also van now prohibited" - Can you try that in English now?

@@hilariousname6826 can you smoke my pole

Here's a tip, use your brain. Cops cannot catch criminals right now, what makes people think if they use something or carry something anyone is going to know about it. People think cops are some sort of God's they have xray vision? LOL I know someone, who carry's things they're not supposed to and in some instances used it for defence. 1. If a situations happens, don't be a goofy and stick around for police. Only a dummy plays the good citizen to stick around and co-operate with corrupt cops. They're not your friend and they don't care if you defended yourself, you'll always be a the bad person in their eyes. 2. Do people think criminals are going to go complain to the cops that you cracked their head like an egg after they tried robbing you. So worrying about a police report about what you did WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Society is so dumb!

The victim gets treated like a criminal in many situations here in Canada. The home invader can sue the home owner for injuries if they trip.

Who told you that and what do you consider a machine gun? Full auto weapons were banned in Canada in 1978.

@@philanders3705 on Vancouver Island there was a serious deer overpopulation so the government enlisted a Ohio company with helicopters and M4 carbines. Local food banks tried to collect the meat but couldn't, it was just too damaged

@@sandystanley1237 they used semi automatic, not full auto. The Canadian government likes to twist language to create fear and confusion. "Assault STYLE weapons" is one example.

@@philanders3705 I stand corrected in that case, but it shows the dubious logic behind the ban and the double standard

Imaginary sky fairies have proven to be highly ineffective, hence why you are losing those rights right now as we speak. Rights only exist so long as people are willing to shed blood or bleed for them. No one rain drop ever feels responsible for the flood, and there in lies the problem, Apathy.
