Jewellery store owner fights back ... in Canada
OK, this is Canada for you. Two guys walk into a jeweler's and one points a gun at the jeweler's wife's head. Then they start smashing the display cases.
The guy goes into the back of the shop and opens his safe, where he has a 9mm stored according to the Canadian laws, inserts a 10 round magazine and starts shooting. One guy escapes, the other is paralyzed. The gun was ( I think ) a Beretta M951 and I'm not sure how many shots were fired. Then he is charged with careless use of a firearm and improper storage of a firearm. He DID store it properly! Quote:

So you are posting a 2 month old article on an incident that happened over a year ago?

I think the point made here is that a guy defended his wife and his business and the anti-gun faction would rather prosecute him than award him a medal.
Canada has very tough gun laws. A couple of years ago, my wife and I were traveling in our RV on an extended vacation. We were crossing the Canadian border. Because we were in a large vehicle with Florida tags, we got pulled to the side for a complete search. Don't ya know that everyone from Florida going north is running drugs? They counted the number of cigars in my humidor. I was allowed 50 per person and I had 99...no tax. I had about 15 bottles of liquor and wine and I had to leave it behind or pay the tax, which I elected to do....$88. They told me no guns were allowed into Canada unless I had a permit and was going to a specific gun range. I travel with two handguns and a shotgun. I'm not about to go anywhere in my RV unarmed. I refused to give them up, never declared them and thought they were hidden so they couldn't be found. I was right. After 1 1/2 hours of searching, they let us cross the border. Rest assured it will be my last RV trip to Canada. I could never live anywhere citizens are open sport to be robbed, raped, and what have you, because they have no means to defend themselves.

Boberama,
Welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with the acronym "SBR". But Washington State's gun laws are pretty reasonable, and concealed carry permits issued in the state of Washington are respected under reciprocal agreements with numerous other states. Depending on what "SBR" means, you may wish to conduct a more thorough review of Washington State gun laws. Here is one place to begin looking: http://www.handgunlaw.us/ Respectfully, Doc

That he was charged at all is a outrage. What exactly would constitute a responsible use a a firearm in Canada, if not this?

Due process does not always take the shortest route. The critical point here is that due process worked, the charges were dropped. Look at all the people who are arrested and charged in SD shootings only to have the charges dropped later or after things are resolved in court.

Boberama,
Thanks for posting this article. I go to Canada about once a year, and it always annoys me that I have to go unarmed. I don't care if the story is a day old or a year old. It's timely.
